City Council Minutes 17 June 7, 2005 was done at that time. Mayor Pro Tem Ives asked if the City had access to the reports. Mr. Reeds stated the railroad loaned the City a copy of the report, but currently the City did not have a copy of the report. Council Member Sundberg stated she would like to see what the samples revealed to know what type of containment was required. Council Member Tolbert stated it was not known among Council or the community as to what type of project was needed at the site and without consensus among the citizens the City was not in a position to begin expending money for testing, decontamination or purchase. Mr. Reeds reminded the Council that there was a budget item in the CIP for a Central Tracy Urban Design and Specific Plan that would allow the City to determine what the uses on the entire Bowtie area should be. Council Member Tucker stated it was premature to spend money until it is decided what to use the property for. Council Member Sundberg stated she did not vote to approve the budget because it did not include funds for the Bowtie area. Mayor Pro Tem Ives asked if there was a specific plan scheduled in the 2005/2006 budget. Mr. Reeds stated yes. Mayor Pro Tem Ives stated the City should wait until the specific plan was completed. C.

The failure of the annexation application and the delay of the construction of the sewer line left this commitment unresolved. There are two proposed assembly uses that want to proceed with construction. One proposed assembly use proceeded to prepare construction documents based on the assumption that the annexation would be successful, a "will serve' letter provided by the City (subsequently revoked after the failure of the annexation), and that the sewer system would be installed this year. Although staff had previously reported that the County was not allowing the use of septic systems in the area, it is now staffs understanding that the County is amenable to allowing temporary sewer systems. There is an existing agreement dating back to 1986, between the City and the County that specifies water service will be provided only for residential uses in existence at the time the agreement was entered into, i.e. not new uses. At the April 19 meeting, Council indicated an interest in considering a policy change to allow the provision of water to vacant properties in the Larch Clover area, possibly on a case-by-case basis, if the County would allow temporary
