Fulton who then stated that it is the recommendation of the Corrirriittee
that Council authorize the expenditure of necessary funds to cover 50°jo
of the cost of having an independent appraisal made of that portion of
the airport property desired by the County: The County.has agreed to
pay 50°jo of the cost of the appraisal.
In a discussion of this matter, -City Attorney Murphy said he wished it
made a part of the record that from the material he has reviewed from
the Federal Government, it is his opinion that it will be'much easier
to obtain a release to sell the property to the County if the City is able to
convince the Governm`ent that it is obtaining fair market val'ue for said
property. He noted that proceeds from the sale must be spent on airport
improvements.
Councilman Doherty commented�-that originally he favored the sale of
land to the County but now is concerned about a reversionary clause and
he feels there` are other conditions which should be discussed prior to
obtaining an appraisal.
Vice Mayor Chatfield said he would like .to know that the City is willing
to sell at the appraised value. � :
The above items were discussed at length by members of Council.

a he'ight of 50 ft. could be seeri by freeway traffic from the south
/�/�� but that southbound traffic would not be able to view either a 50 ft.

tions to visibility were caused'by structitres rather than terrain.
Mr. Harris further stated that the Douglas Oil Company has not
contacted the Planning Department since its request for a contin-
uance of the Public Hearing, and it is therefore recommended that
