Entities) - See items oil Page 2 of agenda this date.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
a) John Weyser, resident, stated he was curious about die Shadowrock proposal
concerning bonding, and the closed agenda appeared to suggest the Council
already had determined to negotiate, giving appearance to accept the bond. He
distributed a copy of an excerpt from the IRS code relating to use of proceeds
from redevelopment bonds on certain type projects which are prohibited,
including commercial golf courses; and that even if the City can legally lend its
name to the bond, even without financial obligation, lie felt it was still
questionable for a project which anyone would say is extremely difficult„ and drat
he did not know what benefit the project would derive by have the City's name
on the bond.
LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
DEMUTH PARK - PACIFIC BELL LEASE
Recommendation: That the Council approve a ground lease with Pacific Bell Mobile
Services, to allow it to install communications equipment which will improve the quality
of cellular phone transmission in Palm Springs, A3669.
City Manager stated that he had previously delayed this matter in order to 'look at a
potential conflict in terms of location for a possible sports park; that after a review of the
plans, he did not believe there is a conflict; and he recommended that the agreement be
approved, subject to added language to be developed by the City Attorney, to provide for
a potential relocation clause, which would guarantee relocation of the antenna at the cost
of the new developer, not the City, nor PacBell.
Minute Order 5749 as recommended, was presented; after which, it was moved by
Barnes, seconded by Oden, and unanimously carried, that M05749 be adopted, subject
to revision of the contract as recommended by the City Manager.
