(prepared by the City Attorney's office) together with a communication from his

would ' be paid for. He also referred to a Financial Impact Report compiled by the
Director of Finance with various alternatives available for Council's consideration.

an installment purchase plan on real property. The City Administrator explained the
intention of Recommendation (I), informing Council that the City Attorney had
suggested that any acquisition of the property be subject to a subsequent determina-
tion by the Planning Commission that it conforms to the General Plan. The City
1 106
Page #10 - Council Minutes - 12/3/79
Attorney's office had also indicated that they were able to negotiate a change in
the contract by which the property would be acquired because the State had put a
'cloud' on the title by saying that it would have to be used for public purposes
or revert back,to it. The reversionary clause would be written out if Council
adopted Resolution No. 4813, generally stating that it would be purchased for
public purposes.
Further discussion was held on the manner of funding. The City Administrator
stated that whatever use the property was put to, if Council so desired, the
revenue derived could be reverted back to the account and eventually all of it
could be replenished, but that each Council would have to do determine, since
future Councils could not be bound.
Councilman Yoder stated that he would prefer a stipulation spelled out that the
revenue from the purchase of the property, i.e. parking, go back into the fund.
Further discussion was held on replenishment of the funds used. The clause per-
taining to use of the property was clarified. Possible use and potential revenue
was also discussed.
