CITY ATTORNEY'S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS (Oil Drilling - City Maintenance Yard) This ordinance is placed on the ballot by the City Council and would allow the drilling of oil or gas wells from the site of the present City Maintenance Yard located at the corner of Valley Drive and 6th Street. 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 July 30, 1984 City Council Meeting July 30, 1984 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council BALLOT ARGUMENTS,�y� SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION D NOVEMBER 6, 1984 n V& C 0 Recommendation: Decide if you all wish to sign the ballot arguments (Oil drilling - Maintenance Yard, Political Activities of Employees, Mello -Roos, Oil drilling - South School Site - with School Board.)

CONCUR: OK Alana Mastrian, Assistant City Manager Kathleen Reviczky, City e k OIL 'I 5� This measure allows one oil well,all revenues from which, would go.first,toward debt retirement for the Mello -Roos District and secondly, after all debt is retired, toward maintenance of SGS d Parc Iw► lands, The City Council is asking you to vote for.a.measure that will provide a method to help pay.the debt service costs to acquire 25 acres of land for permanent open space. Voting in favor of this measure will reduce the amount required (;from the taxpayers through property taxes) to buy the railroad.righ.t-of-way, the South School site, and Seaview Parkette. If we -want to insure that these lands will always remain. as 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.
