(Taken out of order with the consent of Council)
1. Presentation of Predevelopment Agreement with LAX Business Center.
William Glickman, Director of Public Works stated that LAX was prepared to
join the sewer assessment district with one condition: the present C -3
Zone Standards be effective for a period of not less than 5 years and 9
months from the signing of the agreement.
Mayor Pro Tem. Synadinos questioned a stipulation in the agreement which
allowed the property owner a refund of fees 30 days after the formation of
the sewer assessment district.
Director Glickman stated that approximately two years ago when the
district was being formed and the City was going to guarantee that the
connection and annexation fee charges would remain constant at the June
1984 prices, a number of property owners provided the City a "surety" that
those costs would be refunded to the City. One property owner in
particular deposited fees into a cash fund with his legal council and if
needed the City could withdraw those funds. However, the district has
been formed and the funds are no longer needed.
