CityCouncil | 2009-10-20 | 13 | Councilmember Tam stated some things have been overtaken by events because of the Mayor's press release and what is posted on the website; it is clear that the City has been in negotiations with SunCal for the last five months information needs to be provided to the public on whether or not issues are fixable; problems identified in the election report can be addressed by the City and SunCal. Councilmember Gilmore stated if SunCal is willing to release some of the information, a comprehensive review would be needed. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether Council received the October 19 letter, to which Councilmember Gilmore responded that she received the letter via email. Vice Mayor deHaan stated some of the issues have been addressed and allows for dialogue. The Interim City Manager stated SunCal's signature needs to be on the bottom line to ensure the City is not at risk. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether the City Attorney has reviewed the letter. The City Attorney responded that she has not read the letter ; stated SunCal controls the financials of the pro forma; SunCal's willingness to make the pro forma public would not be a problem; the terms of the initiative cannot be negotiated; the initiative is going forward; the City cannot change what is in the initiative; the terms of the Disposition and Development Agreement, which is a separate document, could be negotiated. Mayor Johnson stated a date does not to be picked the City does not have a problem with releasing information; having a fair characterization on all information is important; released information should be by topic. Councilmember Gilmore stated having the information by topic makes sense. Vice Mayor deHaan stated for the briefing, the two-part analysis needs to be updated with SunCal's input to provide a better understanding of the initiative as written. Mayor Johnson stated staff needs to check with the School Board about having a joint meeting to address concerns.
