The Compre- hensive Planning Organization has adopted the present 80% revenue passengers/20% revenue miles formula. Since they are the administering body for these funds in the San Diego region, they will be making a decision on January 1S on which formula will be used to allocate more than $10 million in UMTA funds during FY 1980. From a self-interest standpoint, the Director of Public Works indicated that the proposal most advantageous to the City would be the formula based on population/population density. This would ~rovide about five times as much funding to the City as under the present formula. However, he added that 'the formula based on the 50% revenue passengers/50% population density would be fair to all concerned. Motion to a~cept report It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Councilm~n Egdahl and unanimously carried that the report be accepted and the recommendation forwarded to the Comprehensive Planning Organization.

Mr. Lindberg said he discussed this with the Director of Finance and it was suggested that they take the property valuation and the applied tax rate of last year, add to it the inflation factor, and increase the amount the ~ountry Club paid in the past year as well as the increase in the utility users' tax which they would be required to pay under the agreement. Motion to contact It was moved by Councilman Scott, seconded by Mayor Hyde the Country Club and unanimously carried that, as a starting point, the staff first contact the Country Club, discuss this with them, and then bring it back to Council.

This matter~ was referred to the staff and the Economic Advisory Com- mittee. Mayor Hyde said he has been having second thoughts on this and finds many objections to the salt of the Municipal Golf Course, such as (1) the present golf course is on flood plain land and should not he used for a more intensive commercial use; (2) unrealistic to sell the land and buy comparable land in the "H" Street 1-805 area; (3) City still owes $680,000 on the municipal bonds and this would have to be paid off before buying other land; (4) the City has its own water supply from its own wells at the present golf course; (5) the golf course was acquired on the vote of the people and it should go back to the citizens for the question of disposition. Motion for staff not It was moved by Mayor Hyde and seconded by Councilman to consider selling Gillow that the Council indicate to the staff that they golf course should no longer consider any idea of selling that golf Course.

City Manager Cole informed the Council that the staff is in the process of preparing this report. Transit Fund COuncilm~n Gillow remarked<that there are some "unusual strings" attached to the federal funding, especially Sec- tion 13 C Which requires "interest arbitration", and also that the'City cannot reduce enumerations and benefits once it accepts funds. Councilman Gillow felt this might lead to some legal problems at some future date. Motion for staff It was moved by Councilman Gillow and seconded by Council- direction man Scott that the staff be asked to look at this particu- lar section, and that the City Attorney look at it, to see what potential problems could arise from this in the future Director of Public Works Robens commented that a consultant has been working on this and that a report has been com~ pleted.
