All General Fund money that is replaced by Tidelands Oil revenue, shall be used first to reduce any bonded indebtdness resulting from the enactment of Community Facilities District No. 1, which District would acquire the South School site, the Seaview Parkette, and the railroad right-of-way; and, second, when the bonded indebt- edness is paid, the acquisition, maintenance and improvement of available excess school properties for open space and parkland purposes.

Use of any revenue derived by the City from the site shall be limited first to reduce any bonded indebtedness resulting from the enactment of Community Facilities District No. 1, which district would acquire the South School site, the Seaview Parkette, and the railroad right-of-way; and, second, when the bonded indebtedness is paid, for the acquisition, maintenance and improvement of available excess school or other properties for open space and parkland purposes. The site could not be larger than one acre in size and no wells drilled from the site could be bottomed within the tidelands. The revenue from any such wells, then, would not be subject to the restrictions on the use of tidelands funds. The proposed exceptions to the ban on oil wells are presented as two ballot measures to allow the voter to act on them separately. Both may pass, both may fail, or one or the other may pass or fail. 7-12-84 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Recommendation: July 30, 1984 City Council Meeting July 30, 1984 BALLOT ARGUMENTS SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 6, 1984 Loi Decide if you all wish tosign the ballot arguments (Oil drilling Maintenance Yard, Political Activities of Employees, Mello -Roos, Oil drilling - South School Site - with School Board.)

Voting in favor of this measure will reduce the amount required (;from the taxpayers: through property taxes) to buy the railroad right-of-way, the South School site, and Seaview Parkette. If we want to insure that these lands will always remainas permanent undeveloped open space and parklands, the City will have to own them. If the City doesn't own them, it has to allow the owners some development. When those lands are developed they will no longer be the public open space and parklands we want and need.
