6/18/84 Page -15- Council was sending them a message saying that we are open to doing that and he had a problem with this. He did feel that there were some benefits to the City and did not feel they should be overlooked. Councilman Luce Enquired if we had a typographical map Typo Map available of this site. Administrator Wurl stated we had one of the reservoir site, but their contemplated road would not be on it. Councilman Luce asked Administrator Wurl i:f he foresaw the need beyond the immediate e:xpa nsion of the reservoir as planned and discussed further expansion of the reser- voir in the future. He replied he didn't, but the thing that concerned him was that when he replied in this manner, there are going to be a few more hundred years on earth after he leaves and the technology may be that they would consider utilizing additional portions for rE~servoir expansion. He reitereated they do not anticipate any further expansion. Councilman Leary CommerYted his feeling on the compelling benefit issue is essentially that our open space plan is very critical to us, and he didn't think making the trade-off in terms of getting the reservoir land free is giving us enough benefit to say compelling benefit need does exist. He reiterated that the money that is being set aside to purchase the land is coming from Developer fees, not from water fees paid by citizens, or from tax dollars. TYiis is just one of the difficult decisions that Council is required to make based on their sense of priority, and his was to preserve this open space buffer in its pure state.
