NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. RECUSED: None. ABSENT: None. The motion passed. DuClair Family/Vervais Property Commissioner Fox advised that she had spoken to the DuClairs following the closed session meeting and added that the house would be appraised but that it would take between 30-45 days to complete the appraisal. She expressed concern that the DuClairs had found a property in another city they would like to buy. She would like to agendize an item to propose that a General Plan Amendment be made to change that property back from Parkland to Commercial. Commissioner Roberts advised that Council did not take the rezoning action. Commissioner Fox noted that Steve Bocian had contacted her earlier in the day and added that if the City bought the land, the land use zoning did not matter. If the City Council decided not to buy the land aRer 60 days, it would take three to four months before the DuClairs could sell their property. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Arkin whether this issue could be discussed in closed session, Ms_ Nerland replied that she was unsure whether there would be an exception to the Brown Act because the Commission was not the body negotiating for the purchase of the property. She suggested that the Commission may direct staff to agendize this item, if needed, aRer the City Council acts upon getting the appraisal. Commissioner Fox moved to agendize a discussion proposing a General Plan Amendment to rezone the DuClair property from Parkland to Commercial. Chairperson Blank seconded the motion.
