4. CONSENT CALENDAR Debra Barker, 5018 Blackbird Way, requested that Item 4h, the final map for Tract 6842 not be approved. This development was not fulfilling its obligation. It has a traffic obligation to fix the S-curve on Vineyard Avenue and she did not understand why Council would move forward on approving a new final map when the development was not fulfilling its obligation. She also heard the developers were suing the city. She felt the City should wait until this issue was resolved. Mr. Roush said Signature Properties had agreed to construct the roadway this spring. There were some provisions in the agreement that could potentially lead to litigation, but at the moment there was no litigation pending. Secondly, with respect to the final map, the rule is the approval is ministerial in nature and so long as the final map substantially conforms with the tentative map, the Council really has no discretion but to approve the final map. Mayor Tarver asked if there would be more final maps submitted for the project. Mr. Roush said there were a number of final maps still to come before Council as to the public improvements. Ms. Barker said that Signature was still squabbling over conditions. She said Signature said it would pay for the S-curve. Now Signature was trying to get the taxpayers to pay for it. It was not part of the deal for Signature to build it now, and try to get money for it later. Mr. Roush said the pre-annexation agreement between the City and Signature always assumed that there would be some kind of reimbursement from some source to the Ruby Hill Developers. The question is "how much" and "from whom?" This issue is not fully resolved as of now, but notwithstanding that failure to have it totally resolved, Signature is willing to go ahead this spring and front the money to have the realignment done. There will need to be some details worked out in terms of "who" and "how", but that will be up to Council once the final numbers are in. Ms. Barker said she felt if the City did not have an agreement with Signature, the City should not proceed. Ms. Ayala said that the Council voted on this issue two meetings ago and it had been agreed upon. It was moved by Ms. Michellotti, seconded by Ms. Ayala, that the following actions be taken on the Consent Calendar: a. Approve the City Council Minutes for March 18, 1997. This item was removed from the agenda. City Council 04/01/97 Minutes 2
