NEW BUSINESS -CITY MANAGER
1. Amendment to Extend Outside Conveyance Date with Chevron
U.S.A. on Proposed Fire Station Site.
City Manager Sorsabal stated Chevron U.S.A. has indicated they
cannot release the desired site on Mariposa Avenue to meet the
time frame in the original agreement because of the LPG reservoir
storage under the desired site. Given the current funding for the
project, it appears that the three year time frame is manageable;
however, two areas of concern. The agreement states on Paragraph
#4 the owner is only contemplating conveying property and added
cost for construction due to inflation. Therefore, the
recommendation is to change the language in the agreement to
convey the Mariposa site by January 1, 1992, and provide funds
for added costs in construction due to inflation.
City Manager Sorsabal asked that this item be discussed in Closed
Session.
2. Recommendation Implementing the Cost Allocation User Fee
Study for Public Works. Planning and Building Safety Departments.

any fees for the City, it simply lays the ground work to allow

if a Council were to establish onerous fees.
City Attorney Dolley requested research time on whether
establishing fees is a legislative action (subject to referendum)
or Administrative Action (not subject to referendum).
It was the Consensus of Council to direct the City Attorney to
research this matter further and report back at Council at the
next Council meeting.
