The EIR must be completed before the Planning Commission can consider the subdivision map that Mr. Zogob must submit for his residential construction. It is proposed that Block Grant funds be used for this purpose. Community Development Coordinator Boyd explained that bids have been opened and the successful bidder on the Request for Proposal was Toup> Corporation, in the amount of $8,850. Their schedule of performance will have the preliminary EIR before the Planning Commission on November 8. If comments are considered more than minor, the EIR will be brought back to the Planning Commission on November 22 for certification. Following inquiries by Council as to the need for a 4/5ths vote, City Attorney Lindberg explained that if specific expenditures from the Block Grant funds are to be made, but were not obviously contemplated when the broad range of Block Grant funds was ap- proved, a 4/5ths vote is required. 8-3-78 ~..._----.._._--_.- . - -_...__..--------,.._--_.._-~_.~,----- -3- Offered by CIM Scott, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent of those present, passed and adopted by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: C/M Scott, Hyde, Cox, Gillow Noes: None Absent: C/M Egdah 1 At the suggestion of C/M Gillow, M/C Hyde summarized, for those in the audience, what action has been taken regarding the boundaries of Town Centre II, eminent domain and traffic.

In reply to C/M Gillow's question, CM/ED Cole said that he assumed we would have counters out in strategic spots to see what the effect is and ascertain what the possible shifts in traffic patterns might be. C/M Egdahl arrived at this time (7:22 P. M.) MEMBERS' COMMENTS It was moved by C/M Cox, seconded by C/M Scott and carried unanimously by those present that a resolution be prepared commending the Police Reserves and the regular Police for the way in which they performed in the dangerous situation where a cache of dyna- mite was discovered and had to be removed. Members discussed a letter which had been received from Assemblyman Kapiloff regarding his bill (AB 3698). Mr. Kapiloff stated that he has proposed amendments to his bill which should remove a substantial portion of the objections raised to the bill. These amendments were: The Port District is removed entirely from the provisions of the bill, with the following exceptions: a) providing for majority removal and replace- ment of Commissioners by the appointing authority; and b) providing for Regional Agency overview of decisions of the Port District which have regional significance. As the bill was scheduled to be heard on August 7, M/C Hyde felt that action should be taken immediately. It was moved by C/M Scott, seconded by M/C Hyde and unanimously carried by those pre- sent that a letter be directed to Mr. Kapiloff expressing appreciation for what he has done, but relaying concern about the swiftness of this action. Further, that because of the magnitude and importance of this action, Council would like to have more time to analyze and study the ramifications. It was moved by M/C Hyde, seconded by C/M Cox and unanimously carried by those pre- sent that a Council Conference be set for October 26, 1978 to discuss the City's position on both AB 3698 and SB 1746 (Mills) in whatever form they may result in by that time. The meeting was adjourned at 7:36 P. M. to the next regular meeting of the City Council on Tuesday, August 8, 1978, at 7:00 P. M. ~J ~ Paul G.
