Agenda Item No. 8 Mayor Fulp said he had reviewed the MOU and received correspondence and found that if the MOU is approved, it places the City in future financial exposure. As the MOU does not state what the potential exposure might be, motion by Mayor Fulp, seconded by Councilmember Bennett, to pull this item from the agenda and send the MOU to the Finance Committee for further dialogue with the County regarding matching funds. Councilmember Beltran said he had received the same from Supervisor Eaves who informed that none of the agencies have money available but told him he had been in Washington, D. C., and talked with Bruce Babbitt regarding funding for the plan and assured there was a commitment to do so. Supervisor Eaves encouraged that the City not hold back; and, that the SANBAG representative act accordingly. Mayor Fulp said that funds will be requested from participating agencies then it follows that the City will be asked for money and the Council needs to be prudent. Councilmember Sanders inquired about the current mode of operation and funding. He asked for a range of cost. Director Zamora remarked that the application is going through the environment process. There is an indication of $1.8 million, which everyone participating would have to share. He referred to Section 7.4, Page 10, wherein it indicates that the agreement does not constitute a commitment of funds. Councilmember Sandoval said that this plan has been in the works for a year and a half, to address what is or is not an endangered species. It is a three stage process. He found this action innovative and he supported the City's participation. Councilmember Beltran offered that any contribution request would r have to come before City Council for approval.
