The compensation, however, for the use of this property was deferred. The parties also held differences of opinion concerning whether other property coterminous with the Spotorno Ranch property and the golf course was owned by the Ranch or the City. Resolution of those differences were likewise deferred to allow the parties an opportunity to negotiate the issue. The parties have now reached agreement. The City will pay the Ranch $50,000 to resolve all issues concerning the easement and the other property.
