City Attorney Harron stated these items were continued from the previous
meet ing in order that the committee of two (Mayor Cox and Counc i lwoman
McCandliss) would meet with the County staff in order to clarify and refine
the agreement. 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.

The Agency/Council reconsidered la, b, and c. Dave Foreman stated he reviewed
the agreements and it "strikes him as strange" that it starts out by stating
the Redevelopment Agency will not exercise any more powers than Chu1a Vista
now has. He added it implies the Agency has more powers than it now has and
doesn't want to exerci se them. Councilman/Member Moore contested Mr.
Foreman's statement stating that the City Council runs the City, it is under
the Charter of the City of Chula Vista, and the Agency is subordinate to the
City Counci l.

County that they have no greater power. Thi s is just bei ng afti rmed in the
