Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response,
the hearing was closed.
Councilman Palombo stated that there was a Bill before the governor for signature
which gives the basic directions which we have duplicated in this ordinance. He
said this ordinance was not necessary and was opposed to it.
Councilman Mikels expressed that the ordinance should address relocation efforts
and proposed homeowners' fees. He wanted to see items 4 and 6 under Section 3A
reinstated in the ordinance. With the addition of these items, he would support
the ordinance.
Section 3A-4: Proposed program of relocation assistance to be offered
by the applicant if any.
Section 3A-6: Proposed Homeowner's Association Fee.
Commenting on Councilman Palombo's comments, Mr. Lam stated that staff was aware
that there were a number of Bills dealing with this issue, but they were not
popular and did not pass the committees. If there was something new, staff was
not aware of it. Regarding items 4 and 6 and Councilman Mikels' concerns, Mr
Lam said that staff originally had proposed the inclusion of these items. It had
been decided that since these were not requirements of the City, then it was not
necessary to include these.
Motion: Moved by Bridge, seconded by Frost to adopt the ordinance. The City
Attorney reminded Coqncil that if they wanted to include the changes, this would
be the first reading.
Motion: Moved by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to amend the ordinance by adding
sections 3A-4 and 3A-6 and to bring the ordinance back for second reading on
October 1. Bridge and Frost withdrew the original motion. Motion carried by

included in the ordinance).

4C. VACATION OF CENTER AVENUE. Staff report by Lloyd Hubbs. (6)
On August 6 Council set September 17 for the public hearing for the vacation of
a portion of Center Avenue. Council had raised questions as to what would be the
impact of giving back the six feet to Data Design Laboratories and the residential
interphase of the landscaping. The Planning Department had investigated this and
felt there was sufficient design and review criteria over and above the need for
right-of-way in order to protect that buffering, and it would be acceptable to
vacate the six feet.
Mayor Schlosser opened the meeting for public hearing. There being no response, the
hearing was closed.
A motion was made by Mikels, seconded by Palombo to approve the vacation. Council-
mand Frost said he disagreed with the vacation since he was concerned with loosing
this buffering.
After further discusaion, Mikels and Palombo withdrew their original motion.
Motion: Moved by Bridge, seconded by Palombo to defer this until October 15
meeting and to direct staff to negotiate some agreements with Data Design Laboratories
to assure the protection of the landscaping. Motion carried 5-0,

cern that when t.v. franchises are granted, they provide framework through which
the public and city can have the advantage of new developments which are occuring

would simply be "riding on the County's shirt tail." The county, as the primary
agencL would have to make the finding of consistency with the County Housing Element.

necessary documents for approval. Motion carried by the following vote: AYES:
