Member Malcolm thought it was very important to have the vacancy on the Otay Ranch Interjurisdictional Task Force filled. He felt that ff the County wanted the $355,052 from the City, then the County Supervisor should fill the vacancy with the person the Council had unanimously approved of for the most important development project in the City. He said the City had no legal obligation to fund that money and that the money was left over from a bond. Member Moore felt that was not the way to win friends and influence people. Chairman Nader stated that there needed to be a certain level of trust and cooperation between agencies. He asked the Agency Attorney if the motion on the floor was legal. Bruce Boogaard, Agency Attorney, responded that he had not had a chance to review the agreement between the City and the County yet. Lyman Christopher, Director of Finance, stated that it had resulted from a bond issue that was done in 1978 in the form of an industrial development revenue bond. All the funding, debt service payments and the total administration had actually been done by the County and the City had just acted as a pass through since 1978 in order to get the tax exempt status. The City had always cooperated with the County when they had requested that type of action in the past. Member Rindone withdrew his second on the motion. Motion: died for lack of second.
