ATTORNEY'S REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Legal Matters City Attorney Edwards reported as the Council is aware, several assessment districts have been created on the Cooley Ranch and as development of the Ranch goes forward, it is necessary to re -divide parcels of land. Mr. Edwards advised a holder of assessment district bonds is refusing to approve such re -division and if this prevents future re -divisions, it may impair further development of the Ranch, which would slow the increase of real property taxes and the resulting tax increment available to pay existing indebtedness. Mr. Edwards continued the Redevelopment Agency, on July 20, 1982, authorized Agency Counsel to undertake whatever legal proceedings are appropriate in order to resolve this dispute regarding the required consents for all parcel apportionments and land divisions on Cooley Ranch. Mr. Edwards stated the Redevelopment Counsel has requested that the City Council authorize litigation to be brought in the name of the City of deemed appropriate by Agency Counsel and give similar authorization as given by the Redevelopment Agency. Mr. Edwards concluded Staff recommends the requested authorization be granted and, if Council concurs, adoption of Resolution No. 4240 would be appropriate. Councilman Rehrer asked what procedure would be started now, will the City meet with these people to see if this individual will participate, or where do we go from here. Mr. Edwards replied he believed that John Brown would make some telephone calls first, then depending on the outcome of that, would move to stronger measures, and, ultimate- ly, we would probably end up in a law suit. Mayor Huntoon stated that as he understands it, the City is not going to be involved in the expense of this law suit, that will be an RDA expense and there has been a ceiling put on the expenditure. Mr. Edwards answered yes, that is true, and the Resolution for consideration this evening specifically provides that the City of Colton shall not be responsible for any attorney fees or any other costs whatsoever in connection with such proceedings or litigation. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Rehrer, to approve Resolution _ No. 4240. Unanimous vote. RESOLUTION NO. 4240 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON AUTHOR- IZING FILING OF SUIT. Audit Mr. Edwards stated that the Audit for the fiscal year 1980-81 was delayed and, as a result, the Council decided to defer selection of an auditor for the fiscal year 1981-82, however, it now appears that the Audit for the fiscal year 1980-81 will be completed shortly.
