The City Manager presented various items which are part and parcel of
'the agenda matters to be considered this date ... one regarding the
Par-3 Golf Course - the lease for which expires in 1987. There is a
termination clause in the current lease providing for a 90-day termina-
tion period ... the lease also provides for the lessor to pay the lessee
the value of all improvements depreciated upon a specific basis.
Some discussion held on the proposed agreement with Cadillac Fairview
and Councilman Hannah asked that some of the language be clarified.
Paragraph 5 of the agreement, page 2, the word "inadequate" should be
defined as being unacceptable to the City Council. This is an agenda
item for the regular meeting. "
Material submitted regarding the short-term disposition of the First and
Huntington Drive site, concerning whether or not to improve the vacant ~
lot or to' wait until after Christmas as a request has been received to
rent the lot for the sale of Christmas trees. It was also noted that
the Arcadia Business Association have approved an allocation of $75 per
month toward the maintenance of the lawn if the City pays for the seed-
ing and sprinkler installation. This will be considered at the regular
meeting this date.
Communication from the law firm of Burke, Williams and Sorenson. Staff
advised they have inquiries from other firms also asking whether or not
Council would be interested in contracting with a law firm ,rather than
employing a full-time attorney. In response to a request from Council-
man Haltom, the Finance Director had prepared a report on the legal
costs in 1981-82. Councilman Haltom felt the premise of a law firm has
merit and asked Council to think about retaining a qualified firm. Staff
will check with other cities about this and report back to Council.
Communication from a local firm called "Your Office Genielf expressing an
interest in the site at First and Huntington. Another letter (unsigned)
concerning the ItTucker Bill"a Also, a memorandum concerning appraisal
