WHEREAS, El Segundo's founders were families of stalwart stock who came from far and wide to

WHEREAS, many of our early El Segundo families, in the true Pioneer spirit, lived in tents,
worked, worshiped, taught and pulled together to build their homes, churches and
schools; and
WHEREAS, from these humble beginnings of dunes, tents, mule plows and hardworkers came the
bustling industrial City of El Segundo; and
WHEREAS, generations of El Segundoans have taken care to nurture the values brought to the
community by its founding families, who were characterized as strong in faith, law
abiding, family oriented and neighborly; and
WHEREAS, these qualities comprise the small -town, mid - western flavor which gives our
octogenarian community its unique appeal.
NOW, THEREFORE, We, the City Council of the City of El Segundo, in salute of our pioneers

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Public Hearing to review environmental impacts of the use of Hydrogen and Compressed Dry Air (CDA) in pipelines to
be constructed in the public right -of -way on Grand Avenue and Kansas Street in conjunction with a Nitrogen gas and
other Pipeline License Agreement approved by the Council on October 1, 1996, and on private property at 222, 233 and
330 Kansas Street and 1521 East Grand Avenue. (Environmental Assessment EA -397). Applicant: Air Products, Inc.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Open Public Hearing;
2) Discussion (if desired);and,
3) Continue Public Hearing to January 21, 1997.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On October 1, 1996, the City Council approved a Pipeline License Agreement between the City of El Segundo and Air
Products for installation of nitrogen gas pipelines and other pipelines for future use within the City public street right -of-
way of Grand Avenue and Kansas Street. The "other" pipelines were subject to subsequent City Council approval. This
item requests approval of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts, for the use of the
"other" pipelines to transport hydrogen gas and CDA between Air Products and International Rectifier facilities located
at 222, 233, 330 Kansas Street, and 1521 East Grand Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
Due to the need for the applicant to prepare an Off -site Consequence Analysis, similar to the analysis which is being
prepared for the Hyperion- Scattergood Digester Gas Pipeline, to evaluate the potential hazards associated with the
operation of the proposed hydrogen pipeline, Staff requests the Public Hearing be Continued until January 21, 1997.
In order to avoid re- noticing, Staff recommends that the Council open the Public Hearing and then continue the public
hearing to the regular January 21, 1997 City Council meeting. The applicant is aware of this recommendation and has
agreed to the continuance. It is anticipated that by then the Off -site Consequence Analysis will have been prepared and
reviewed by appropriate City departments.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Public hearing on the proposed projects and budget for allocation of the 1997 -1998 Community Development Block
Grant funds. Proposed CDBG budget: $114,242.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Open public hearing;
2) Discussion;
3) Consider proposed projects and budget, and direct Staff accordingly;
4) Authorize the Director of Planning and Building Safety to execute agreements with the Community
Development Commission;
5) Authorize the Director of Planning and Building Safety to execute agreements in excess of $10,000 with all
subrecipients receiving CDBG funds; and,
6) Authorize the Mayor to request a waiver from the CDC of the 25% maximum public service activity limit.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
Each year, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are allocated to cities by the Federal Housing and
Urban Development Department (HUD) and administered through the Los Angeles County Community Development
Commission (CDC). Participating cities receive funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the
County's program, and a city's commitment to provide housing, economic, and community development opportunities
which principally benefit persons of low and moderate income levels.
DISCUSSION:
The City of El Segundo has annually participated in the Los Angeles Urban County's CDBG Program. In order to
continue its participation in the upcoming 1997 -1998 program year, beginning July 1, 1997 and ending on June 30,
1998, the City of El Segundo must prepare and submit its proposed CDBG project descriptions to the Community
Development Commission by February 3, 1997, for subsequent CDC review and approval.

ACTION TAKEN:
DISCUSSION: (Continued)
Pursuant to Federal requirements, this public hearing was posted in various public buildings within the City. Federal
requirements also mandate that as part of the hearing, the Council and public be informed of the range of eligible housing
and community development activities that may be funded under the CDBG program. Interested persons may obtain a
copy of the Federal eligibility guidelines, available at the City of El Segundo's Planning and Building Safety Department,
from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Description of Current Year's Activities (Fiscal Year 1996 -1997)
The 1996 -1997 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo was $116,008.
The following project descriptions identify the City's CDBG activities for the current (1996 -1997) program year. These
projects were approved by the City Council during a public hearing on January 7, 1996:
1) Home Delivered Meals $16,000
Provides approximately 4,500 meals to low and moderate income elderly and handicapped persons during the
course of the program year. Additional revenues of approximately $9,000 in donations are anticipated, which
increases the total budget to $25,000.
2) Senior In -Home Care $24,500
Approximately 100 confined senior citizens and handicapped persons receive in -home medical, physical, and /or
emotional care assistance.
3) Senior Citizen Nutritional Counseling $13,500
Provides nutritional information, guidance and counseling to approximately 200 senior adults annually.
4) Juvenile Diversion Proiect $11,000
This project provides children and adolescents, who are victims of physical and /or emotional abuse, counseling
and referral services. Approximately thirty youths receive services.
5) Administration $11.600
To provide overall CDBG program administration and implementation of all CDBG funded activities.
6) Minor Home Repair $25,000
The Minor Home Repair project provides assistance to qualified low and moderate income elderly homeowners
for necessary minor home improvements with no- interest, deferred loans up to $5,000 for senior citizen, owner -
occupied, single - family detached households. On a few occasions, loans of $7,500 have been approved for
households requiring more extensive improvements. Additionally, grants up to a maximum of $1,500 are
available to severely disabled homeowners who require handicap improvements.
7) Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) $22,112
The RSI program provides grants to eligible elderly and /or severely handicapped single - family homeowners to
obtain home insulation against airport noise. CDBG funds pay all or a portion of the homeowner's twenty percent
(20 %) share of the program cost. Eighty percent (80 %) of the cost is paid by the Federal Aviation Administration.
TOTAL CDBG BUDGET 1996 -1997 $123,712"
"Please note: This amount includes $7,704 in unallocated previous years' funds from closed -out projects.
Proposed 1997 -1998 CDBG Projects and Budget
The 1997 -1998 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo is $114,242. This is slightly less (5 %) than the City's
allocation during the previous program year. Please note that this CDBG allocation is a planning estimate only; the Los
Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC) does not receive the final appropriation from HUD until
Spring 1997. The City's final CDBG allocation may be more or less than the planning estimate. Generally, however,
the final allocation is within ten percent of the estimate provided.
In addition to the 1997 -1998 allocation, unspent funds from previous program years' closed -out projects totaling $55,833
are available for reprogramming. Thus, the unexpended funds of $55,833, plus the estimated $b16,P41,5esults in a
potential total CDBG program budget of $170,075.
2
Proposed 1997 -1998 CDBG Projects and Budget (Continued)
Due to the demographics and project service demands of the City of El Segundo, the amount of CDBG funds devoted
to public services annually exceeds the Federally established public service projects' limit of twenty -five percent (25 %).
Public service projects include "social services" such as the Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care, Senior Citizen
Nutritional Counseling and Juvenile Diversion Projects. Projects such as Minor Home Repair, Residential Sound
Insulation and other construction related projects are not considered public service projects. Traditionally, the City has
devoted approximately 60% of its annual allocation to public service projects. The City has annually received from the
Community Development Commission (CDC) a waiver to the 25% public service cap. However, since the Federal budget
further reduces the public service cap to 15% during the 1998 -1999 CDBG Program Year, the CDC strongly suggests
that cities begin reducing funds allocated to public services this year, in order to lessen the dependency on the reduced
funding levels. As such, the CDC informed cities that no public service waivers will be granted for 1997 -1998, so that the
transition to 1998 -1999 may be made easier.
Thus, pursuant to current CDC direction, only 25% of the City's 1997 -1998 allocation of $114,242, or $28,561, may be
used for public service activities. However, Staff recommends that the Mayor issue a written request to the CDC to receive
a waiver to the public service cap. Staff believes that a "letter of need" issued on behalf of the City of El Segundo may
persuade the CDC to reconsider granting a waiver. However, until such time that we are notified of the availability (if, at
all) of a waiver, Council should select its 1997 -1998 CDBG projects based upon the 25% public service limit. The cost
of administration of the CDBG Program is set by the CDC at a maximum of 10% of the annual allocation, which equates
to approximately $11,400 for the 1997 -98 program year.
It is recommended that the City Council support the continuation of the following CDBG- funded projects for the upcoming
1997 -1998 Program Year [please note: each project will show a budget amount proposed (no waiver) and a budget
amount in parenthesis (waiver) indicating suggested funding levels if a waiver is granted]:

If no waiver is granted, a total of $86,900 will be committed to 1997 -1998 CDBG projects. This leaves approximately
$83,175 in CDBG funds available for programming. The following project options are offered for your consideration:
Increasing both the Minor Home Repair Project and Residential Sound Insulation Project budgets and expanding
each project's scope to include all eligible low and moderate income homeowners. This may increase the
number of applications to the two projects which are presently experiencing a decline in interest.
Address projects that assist the City's compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). CDBG funds
can be used for the removal of architectural barriers as a public improvement activity. For example, during the
1992 -1993 program year, the City's main Library received a handicapped ramp to its entrance, and the Police
Department's drinking fountains and restrooms were retrofitted for handicapped accessibility.
If alternative projects are not selected at this time, all remaining CDBG funds are placed into a "contingency" account
which can be accessed at any time during the course of the 1997 -1998 Program Year to fund eligible CDBG projects.
Any unexpended funds at the end of the program year are not lost, they are "rolled- over" into the next budget year for
reprogramming.

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS - (Related to City Business Only - 5 minute limit per person, 30
minute limit total) Individuals wl o have received value of $50 or more to communicate to the City Council on behalf of
another, and employees speaking on behalf of their employer, must so identify themselves prior to addressing the City

the City Council.
Brian O'Rourke, resident spoke on educating the public on how to be in accordance with the
law, and to clearly define it.
Gail Church, 406 Virginia Street plead for compassion for retired individuals who have limited
incomes and would have financial problems.
Kelly McDowell, 517 Kansas Street spoke on zoning code enforcement; increase in attorney
fees to enforce; in favor of smaller and more efficient government, and felt inspection of
homes is an invasion of priva -.y.
Dorothy Pedroza, 336 Loma Vista Street commented on her garage conversion and carport
which were in existence when she bought her property several years ago and to correct it
would create a financial hard!;hip due to her only income being SSN.
Dorothy Kent, resident spoke about meeting with people prior to enforcing legal action on
code violations.
Liz Garnholtz, resident aggre: ;sive enforcement is for people who divert the codes.
Lorretta Frye, resident questioned whether there would be grandfathering in for those with
existing permits; Councilman Weston responded stating this meeting was only for enforcement
not a legislative meeting.
Peggy Turryll, resident spoke concerning allowing transfer of property rights and still keep
Proposition 13 rights.
Lewis Jesen has trouble understanding what the problem is and asked Council tcogorp Vie

City Council Minutes
12/04/96 - 7:00 p.m.
DRAFT
Marty Stone, 637 Center Street was one of the first on the lottery list and did not know there
was a new code in existence with in the City, and felt the idea was good but the public should
be made clearly aware of any changes.
Mayor Jacobs closed public communications.
Councilman Weston felt there should be a letter written prior to going out to Mr. Stone's home;
stated taxes on R1 lots are less than R2 lots and those individuals using R1 as R2 lots are
not paying the correct taxes and are using more sewer and other services. Allowing one
individual to have R2 on an R1 lot would mean they would have to allow others also, and the
Council is responsible on enforcing the law equally.
Councilman Gordon stated congestion in the R1 zoned areas creates problems; wants to
guard life in El Segundo, and to enforce the code the Council needs to identify problems. The
Council wants the public to come into compliance with the code and would do this
responsively by working with the citizens in trying to avoid litigation and eliminate undo
hardship.
Mayor ProTem Wernick thought code compliance meant all code problems not just R1 zoned
areas. She felt the Council should be looking at wanting to avoid any false complaints. She
concurs with Councilman Gordon on finding a compromise. Wants zoning code changes to
be done at the same time as quarterly general plan.
Councilwoman Friedkin stated the City enforces equally and needs to maintain current
residential density. She suggested upon purchasing property the buyer should have a walk
through inspection to make sure there are no code violations.
Mayor Jacobs stated how the City approaches home owner's is important, and illegal units
don't pay business license tax or annual fire inspections.
SPECIAL ORDERS OF BUSINESS -
1. Public Workshop to discuss the City's current Municipal Code Compliance Program,
including but not limited to the: 1) Intent of the current Municipal Code Compliance
Policy; 2) Municipal Code Compliance process; and, 3) Recent changes in and any
potential modifications to the Municipal Code Compliance Program and Policy.
Bret Bernard, Director of Plarning and Building Safety presented a report to Council on why
the City has a Municipal Code Compliance Program, and what it includes; What current City
Code Compliance Polity is, and what the present program entails. Discussion followed.
Laurie Jester presented an overview of the current Council Code Compliance Policy.
Discussion followed regarding how the City handles complaints of possible code violations.
Councilman Gordon felt the first letter should simply ask them to contact the City, but should
not state that the City wants to inspect their property.
Loran Hammond, Building Inspector /Code Compliance Officer presented an overview on
inspectors roles. Discussion followed.

based on policy and trust, and City Attorney Hensley responded the inspector's are required to
file conflict of interest forms annually.

commercial areas; Mr. Bernard responded in both and they do not target any particular zone

AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Review of FY 1996 -97 Business Recruitment Creative
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve business recruitment "creative"
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On October 15, 1996, the City Council reviewed the effectiveness of the previous advertising campaign and
approved the business recruitment strategy for FY 1996 -97. The strategy, consistent with the last two years, will
include both print and outdoor ads developed by Team One Advertising of El Segundo. Team One has just
completed the "creative" portion and is preparing to launch the new ad campaign in early February. Mayor Jacobs
and Councilman Weston reviewed preliminary materials last week with Team One. It was their feeling that the
approach Team One is pursuing continues the basic concept of the ad program.
DISCUSSION:
The overall theme of the ad campaign ( "A Small Town For Big Business ") emphasizes both the business and
residential amenities of El Segundo. Subject to City Council approval of the new creative (available for viewing at
the meeting), Team One will produce both outdoor and print ads in the upcoming weeks. Launch of the outdoor by
February is critical in order to make the post Christmas Holiday to summer vacation slot Three outdoor boards will
be up for five months while the print ads will appear throughout the year in the Los Angeles Business Journal.

In summary, the report notes that the City's business recruitment efforts have been very effective especially given
the time span (just two years). For instance, the department has assisted/recruited 27 major businesses totaling
5,195 jobs. These businesses represent an increase to the tax base of approximately $87,314,000. In the first two
years of the business recruitment program, the City budgeted $326,898 for advertising. Based upon the above
information, the cost of the ad campaign related to employment generation is approximately $63.00 per job.. (For
reference purposes, the City of Sacramento's recent recruitment of Packard Bell cost $8,660 per job.)
IFY 1996 -87 Business Recruitment Strategy
The foundation for the business recruitment program was initially formulated as part of the Economic Development
Strategic Plan adopted by the City Council in September, 1993. The Plan includes several goals and objectives as
well as a list of Target Industries. Using this information as a guide, a marketing plan has been developed over the
last two years with the generous assistance of Team One Advertising. Each year the Economic Development
Advisory Council (EDAC) has reviewed the draft "Media Plan" submitted by Team One and suggested a number of
modifications. The 1997 Recommended Media Plan (attached) was reviewed by the EDAC on September 26,
1996 and includes the following elements:
Overall Strategy:
Continue aggressive effort to obtain a high volume of leads and transactions.
Target Industries:
(See Economic Development Strategic Plan)
Target Audience:
Business decision makers (i.e. CEOs and COOs)

AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Contract with Purkiss -Rose Architects to develop a Roller Hockey Rink Master Plan and Construction Plans
and Specifications. Fiscal Impact $7,500.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Authorize Staff to issue a purchase Order to Purkiss -Rose Architects for an amount not -to- exceed $7,500.
INTRODUCTION AND 13ACKGROUND:
The Capital Improvement Budget includes the construction of a Roller Hockey Rink at Recreation Park at
a cost of $75,000.
DISCUSSION:
After several meetings with the El Segundo Hockey association, Public Works, City Attorney's Office and
Recreation and Parks, it was determined that a complete Roller Hockey Rink with all professional quality
amenities could not be built for the $75,000 allotted in the Capital Improvement Budget.
The El Segundo In -Line Hockey Association put together two plans for the construction of an approximately
72'x 175' roller hockey rink at a cost between $70,000 and $78,000. These plans called for much of the
work to be done with volunteer labor, as well as a selective informal bidding process for the work, such as
a concrete surface and fencing. The plans did not take into consideration the need for preparing
construction contracts and formally bid contracts.
The Public Works Department also prepared a cost estimate of $190,750 for the design and construction
of a full size (88' x 180) rink with professional quality fiberglass boards and perimeter fencing including
amenities such as bleachers, goals and penalty boxes. The public works estimate was based on
implementing the project in accordance with State Public Works Contract Law which requires contractors
to pay state prevailing wages for its labor force and to provide insurance and bonds to protect the City.

After review by the City Attorney's Office, it was clear the project must adhere to state law for bidding public
works construction and voluntber labor cannot be used by contractors to keep costs down. The City can
not avoid the Public Works Contracting requirements by giving the Roller Hockey Association a grant for
$75,000 to do the project.
Staff recommends the roller hockey rink facility be designed for it's ultimate configuration and the
construction be phased within available funds. This will insure the improvements currently constructed will
accommodate future improvements with minimal rework.
Staff has discussed the project the architectural firm of Purkiss -Rose which has designed several roller
hockey rink facilities in Southern California, which are currently operational. Telephone contacts with
agencies which have retained Purkiss -Rose have reported that the firm has provided satisfactory service
and is very knowledgeable about Roller Hockey Rink design. Purkiss -Rose has submitted a proposal to
develop the master plan, construction plans and specifications for a fee of $7,500.
Staff recommends retaining Purkiss -Rose to develop the master plan and prepare construction plans and
specifications to construct a hockey facility including site preparation, demolition of the two volleyball courts
and relocation of existing park improvements utilizing the allocated funds of $75,000. At the present time
it is anticipated that construction plans will include a concrete playing surface, security fencing and all other
related site modifications. This will provide the Hockey Association Teams with much needed space for
games and practice. The portable rink, which the City purchased several years ago, will be moved to
Recreation Park from the Middle School.
It is the intention of the El Segundo In -Une Hickey Association to then move ahead with fund raising efforts
to order to eventually complete all phases of the rink.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Authorization to retain Lewis Partners to perform a management audit of the Human
Resources Department at a cost of $8,000.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order in the amount of
$8,000 to Lewis Partners for the performance of a management audit of the Human Resources Department.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The objective of this management audit is to review the policies,
procedures, management practices and systems of the Human Resources Department to identify items that need
to be modified or implemented consistent with contemporary personnel management practices. The numerous
changes that are occurring in the field of personnel administration dictate that practices and procedures be
reviewed to ensure that they are consistent with Federal and State laws and court interpretation of these laws.
DISCUSSION: The advantage of using an outsider for this type of management audit is that they are not
burdened with ownership of the city's current systems and procedures. In addition, experienced evaluators have
knowledge of other systems and procedures and those that work best. A fresh look at our methods and the
implementation of an action plan to improve the city's systems is anticipated to result in improved efficiencies and
implementation of current personnel procedures.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: January 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: City Manager, New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request to amend the Golf Course Contract Personnel Budget by $9,000. Also approve the restructuring
of General Manager position at the Lakes. Fiscal impact $9,000.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve increasing the contract personnel budget by $9,000 or approximately 6 %, before a credit of
$20,000 is taken for Family Golf's restructuring of the General Manager's position, and approve the
restructuring.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
Family Golf had requested the City to consider increasing contract personnel budget which would allow
them to increase wages as they feel appropriate.
DISCUSSION:
The Golf Course subcommittee met, with Jane Friedkin, Bill McCaverty, Jim Morrison and Jim Fauk on
Thursday, December 19th to consider the request from Family Golf to have the contract personnel
budget increased in order that wage adjustments could be given as seen appropriate to Family Golf
employees. At the subcommittee meeting, Bill Schickler of Family Golf also proposed using the
General Manager at the Lakes to perform some regional duties out of the Lakes office. This proposal
would result in a reduction of contract personnel costs in the Lakes budget.
The golf course subcommittee decided not to address wages of individual employees, feeling that should
be left up to Family Golf as the employer.

After discussion and due consideration, the subcommittee felt that an increase of 6% or $29,000 was
appropriate, taking into this consideration that no increases had been given for over two years.
The subcommittee next addressed the Family Golf proposal to use the Lakes General Manager to take on
regional responsibilities for Family Golf using the Lakes as his office. Family Golf would be
responsible for wages paid to the General Manager when performing regional Family Golf business.
The subcommittee is recommending that the concept be approved with the provision that 75% of the
General Manager's time be spent managing the Lakes. There would be no change in the General
Manager's stated responsibilities to the Lakes. This change results in a $20,000 reduction in the
proposed budget increase which results in the $9,000 budget increase being recommended by the Golf
Course subcommittee.
This organizational change will be monitored closely to assure that there is no negative effect on the
operations of the Lakes at El Segundo. There was also agreement that if the City at any time felt that the
new general manager restructuring was not working out, the City would have the right to change back to
the original general manager coverage.

SUMMARY OF "POTLATCH /SIMPSON" CLAIMS
United States, et al. v. Montrose Chemical Corporation of California.
et al. (sometimes referred to as the "Potlatch /Simpson" claims). This
is an action by the United States and the State of California against nine
industrial companies and County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los
Angeles County seeking unspecified damages under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
( "CERCLA" or "Superfund "), 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901 et seq., as amended.
The Plaintiffs seek recovery for natural resources damages to the San
Pedro Channel, the Palos Verdes Shelf, the Los Angeles -Long Beach
Harbor and the Channel Islands resulting from the Defendants' alleged
discharge of hazardous substances (DDT and PCB's) into the ocean. In
addition, the United States seeks recovery of EPA's response costs at
the Montrose NPL (National Priorities List) site (a now - cloyed DDT
factory in Los Angeles County). Several of the Defendants, namely the
Montrose Chemical Company, the Potlatch Corporation, the Simpson
Paper Company and Rhone- Poulenc have filed third party complaints
against the City and 185 other local governmental entities in Los
Angeles, Orange, Ventura and San Bernardino Counties. The third
party complaints seek contribution under CERCLA and other relief,
alleging strict liability under CERCLA, negligence and other causes of
action.
If liability were to be established agains, uic Defendants, damages, a,!d
in turn the contribution the Defendants would seek from the City and
the other local governmental entities, could be substantial. The City
has vigorously pursued settlement of this case in extensive and difficult
negotiations with the Plaintiffs. These negotiations resulted in the trial
court's approval and entry of a consent decree, to which the City is a
Party. The entry of the consent decree was appealed and, on appeal,
was reversed and remanded to the trial court. The City is now
pursuing settlement and the entry of an amended consent decree. The
City has approved for execution the amended consent decree. If the
amended consent decree is approved, and upheld on appeal, it would
provide the City and the other local government third -party defendants
with the contribution protection against the third party complaints
afforded by CERCLA § 113(f) and other federal and state laws and
common law. n A
