David Shey stated that the Equestrian Center project does remove the realm of local architects, and that an equestrian architect would be needed to obtain a show quality project. Councilmember Schlendorf stated with the expense of moving the Equestrian Center, the difference between a local architect, and a specialist would be minimal ; that environmental factors need to be considered, and that the direction and growth design of the City is at issue. Mayor stated that time is critical ; that the project needs to move forward; that the project should have been approved, then the bonds sold; but that the opposite happened; and that now this Council needs to take action.

Councilmember Hodges requested that the resolution section requiring the public hearing for the Municipal Golf Course be deleted. Mayor declared the hearing open. Dick Finan, no address given, stated that there is some confusion regarding the issue; that if the Council decision is to approve the 9 hole course, the equestrian center would not have to move from its present: site; and that prudent consideration should be given, before authorizing the move to Section 35.

Mr. Kasparain, Glendale, stated that he did receive a letter regarding his property from the City; that the letter did state eminent domain if he did not sell to the City; that contact has been made by Mr. Fairchild regarding the purchase of his property; and that the negotiations have been respectful and are continuing.

Mr. Kasparian, Glendale, stated that the matter concerning his property keeps being continued; that his intent is not against the plan; but to get a fair price for his property; and that things are moving too fast; and that there are too many agencies involved. Mayor stated that Mr. Kasparian's concerns are understandable; that the matter has been continued many times; and that direction will be given to staff to inform the concerned property owners in advance, if a matter is to be continued. Councilmember Hodges stated that there is some concern about sole source purchasing; that government is set up to use the bid process; that the process is being circumvented because of time; that the previous resolutions appointing a design team do not fit into the scheme of how government is to work. Council Minutes 8-12-92, Page 4 1. EQUESTRIAN CENTER/GULF COURSE (Cont'd) Councilmember Lyons stated that the payment on the bonds is about to start; that circumstances in this case are different from most; and that the cost will be a large burden for the City to bear. City Manager stated that the bond cost to the City will be $40,000 a month; that the sole source process would help speed the process; but that it is the pleasure of the Council . City Attorney stated that the Equestrian Center design will have limited architects that do that type of work; and that time is getting limited. Planning Director stated that if the Council desires a show facility, there are limited Equestrian designers; but that for the Environmental Impact Report, or a financial study there are many agencies that could be used. City Attorney stated that the resolutions approved are for separate design processes for the Golf Course and for the Equestrian Center; and that the time schedules are not limited to one or the other.
