an Environmental Impact Report and who does the report. Planning Director Stan
Eisner said the EIR guidelines which are adopted by the State, following the pro-
cedures of the California Environmental Quality Act, spell out the items that have
to be a part of the initial review when an applicant files for annexation or
reorganization. He said a list of qualified consultants is maintained, who are
qualified to gather and analyze data, draw conclusions, or make alternatives
available to the Planning Commission and the Council for review.

ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 1981-1, SUPPLEMENTAL PETITION BY OTTSE
Public Works Director Paul Karp said this matter was before Council abou.t six
months ago with regard to approval of an Assessment District to create certain
backbone improvements, namely: a portion of the frontage road, water transmission
lines, a portion of James Way, a reservoir and pump station. He said at that time
there was an interest on the part of the major developer (OTTSE) to include their
tract public improvements for two of their developments which were under review by
the Planning Commission. The City's District Counsel (F. MacKensie Brown)
recommended that the District proceed without those improvements at that time since
they required Ordinance changes, which would be added at a later date. Those
Ordinance changes have been approved by the City Council and it is now appropriate
for Counc i I to respond to the Petition, which incorporates tentative subdivision
maps for Parcel Map AG 83-013 and Tract 1132 (those maps were displayed by Karp
and discussed by the City Council).
Mr. Karp read the title of the Resolution. On motion of Councilman Vandeveer,
seconded by Councilman Millis, and unanimously carried, to dispense with further
reading of the Resolution.
