Clerk Administrator Barnes will arrange a meeting with the City Engineer and Fiscal Consultant to discuss the long range plan. Attorney Gasteazoro presented the proposed development agreement between the City and 1666 Coffman. Since the developer will be out of the picture after the condominiums are sold, the City will then be dealing with 100 families.

She had been informed that each homeowner cannot be asked for a letter of credit nor can a letter of credit be required from the condominium association. Council discussed possible ways in which to insure funds will be available, such as create a reserve not to exceed 15~ of the bond issue, a portion of the association fee be set aside for payment of any unpaid taxes, and developer guarantee the 25 percent shortfall. Attorney Gastezoro will meet with the developers regarding the Coffman project. Councilmember Ciernia asked that Council consider amending the code to allow a currently licensed vehicle to be used for warehousing temporarily in case of emergency such as a building being destroyed by fire.
