As a result of those meetings, there have been changes made in streaml in i ng the agreement. The Owner Participation Agreement has been changed and is now an agreement with the County. It takes it out of the Redevelopment Plan and ensures the Agency will not exercise any greater power over the landfill than Chula Vista now has, and both the County and the City would continue to cooperate with each other in the redevelopment area. As to the lease, Mr. Harron stated that it is simplified and eliminated 90% of the terms. Instead of the accepting of deed, it now goes with a quitclaim deed with a reverter should the land not be used in the future for park purposes. The lease also incurs an annual maintenance cost which will not exceed $60,000 per year. The County now agrees to dismiss its lawsuit challenging the estab 1 ishment of the redeve 1 opment area if Chul a Vi sta enters into these agreements. ~-- _.._._~_.._-~-----_._---_.._-_.,-_.._---_.__.~----- Joint City Council/ Redevelopment Agency Meeting - 2 - September 25, 1984 Council discussion followed regarding potential commercial uses in the park area and expressing appreciation to Counc i lwoman McCandliss for the negotiation.
