MARINE CORPS AIR STATION - EL TORO BASE CLOSURE AND CONVERSION ' CONSULTING SERVICE 1940.301 Written Communication: Report dated August 2, 1994, from the City Manager, recommending that the City participate in the South County Cities Working Group's agreement with Kotin, Regan & Mouchly, Inc. to conduct an independent examination of the economic costs and benefits of converting the El Toro base to a commercial airport, as well as to identify alternative uses. The Report noted that costs in the range of $150,000 to $250,000 to retain Kotin, Regan & Mouchly, Inc. would be shared equitably among the participating South County Cities. San Juan Capistrano's share was estimated to be in the range of $17,280 and $26,380, or, if funds were allocated strictly on a population basis, in the range of $13,650 and $22,750 An initiative supporting conversion of the base to a commercial airport has been placed on the November, 1994, ballot. Mr, Scarborough made an oral presentation. Council Member Jones inquired whether the City could remain on the Working Group if it decided not to participate in financing the independent study. Council Member Nash noted that she has represented the City on this group and felt that the City would not be forced to resign from the group if it did not participate financially on the proposed study. However, she felt that it was essential that the City support the study to educate citizens on the significant issues of this item before the election in November. She noted that the airport initiative on the November ballot has caused the standard planning process being conducted by the E1 Toro Reuse Planning Authority to be pre-empted; therefore, adequate information would not be available to voters without the proposed independent ' study. She recommended that the City provide minimal funding for the study until Phase 2. Council Member Hausdorfer concurred, stating he would support the City's participation for educational purposes only. He noted that no public funds can be used for political purposes and emphasized that approval of the City's participation in the study was for educational and informational purposes only; that the City's participation did not imply the City's support or opposition to the proposed airport use. Council Member Jones expressed concern regarding the City's participation in an issue that had possible political undertones and noted that the matter has become a north -south issue at this time. In addition, he expressed strong concerns regarding the spending of City funds at a time when the City is cutting its services drastically. He felt that the study should be more specific and that the City should not spend its money on a study that does not have objective goals. He noted that the results of the proposed study would not be included on the November ballot and felt that the study was part of a campaign to oppose the airport. Council Member Vasquez felt that the City should remain involved with the Working Group and the proposed study to provide needed information to citizens regarding the impacts from the airport use. Mayor Campbell felt it was important to keep citizens involved, despite the City's financial constraints, because of the potential impacts from any uses proposed for the site. She felt, however, that the City should pay its fair share for the study on a per capita basis rather than a flat rate. Council Member Nash indicated she would try to negotiate a more fair payment arrangement for the City. Approval of Ci 's Participation in Working Group's Agreement with Kotin. Regan & Mouchly. Inc.: It was moved by Council Member Nash, seconded by Council Member Hausdorfer, that the City's ' participation in the South County Cities Working Group's agreement with Kotin, Regan & Mouchly, Inc. be approved to conduct an independent examination of the economic costs and benefits of converting the El Toro base to a commercial airport and to identify alternative uses. Staff was City Council Minutes -9- 8/2/94 422 directed to appropriate funds from unallocated General Fund Reserves, and the City Manager was directed to communicate the City Council's action to the participants in the South County Cities — Working Group.
