in support of the project.

zoning and asked for Council approval adding that the change increases the
building area of the parcel and makes the office project more viable. Mr. Getts noted that the project has the

VI. REGULAR AGENDA
A. Weed
Revitalization Committee: Council will
hear presentation on status and history of the Information/response letter
submitted to Weed Chamber of Commerce
City
Administrator Wilson reported receipt of a copy of a letter that was sent to
the Chamber of Commerce by the Weed Revitalization Committee and reviewed that
the Council asked for it to be placed on the agenda for possible discussion.
City
Attorney Pierce stated the request of the Weed Revitalization Committee is not
clear and the result of his preliminary research is there may be jurisdictional
issues with regard to any action the Council could take. City Attorney Pierce added that there is
apparently question as to whether Weed Revitalization Committee is a separate
and independent entity or a subcommittee of the Weed Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Pierce asked for and received
verification that the City Council considers the entities separate for the
purpose of disbursing Transient Occupancy Taxes. Mr. Pierce then noted that the two nonprofit groups whether
separate or one, are not otherwise involved, regulated, or governed by the
City.
Police
Chief Nicholas reported that the committee had its origin when a couple of
developers bought property at the north Interstate 5 interchange and had ideas
for the betterment of the City. Through
word of mouth a committee was formed in early 1992, and from time to time a
report was made to the City Council.
Joyce
Oliver, representing the Weed Revitalization Committee, appeared before the
Council to discuss her research of documents regarding the formation and
history of the Weed Revitalization Committee.
Ms. Oliver noted that a change in officers due to retirements and resignations
might have led to co-mingling of accounts under a combined federal
identification number. Ms. Oliver
stated that she has contacted the Internal Revenue Service, and a separate
number from the Chamber of Commerce recognizes the Weed Revitalization Committee
as an individual entity. Ms. Oliver added that the Chamber of Commerce has been
unresponsive to the Committee’s requests to separate the funds.
The
City Council reiterated that this matter is outside its jurisdiction, and urged
the Committee to obtain an independent advisor to mediate the matter.
B. Public Safety – Code Enforcement: Second reading for adoption of Ordinance No.
356-2001, An Ordinance of the City of Weed amending Chapter 8.24 of the
municipal code of the City of Weed relating to “public nuisance” (vacant
buildings and property blight).

Member Barnett moved, seconded by Council Member Sutton, that the reading in
full of the body of Ordinance No. 356-2001 be waived, said ordinance being read
and adopted by title only.

Mayor Borcalli read a
statement announcing that although she believes in prayer, and knows that the

want the institution of invocations at meetings to cause a disruption in the

moved, seconded by Council Member Tallerico that no change be made in the
meeting’s opening ceremony.

reviewed the proposal for an alternative method of funding the Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) that was submitted to the cities of Siskiyou
County. Mr. Wilson noted that State law
provides that the cities fund one-half of the LAFCO expense based on the
proportionate share of general fund revenues, however an alternate method is being
proposed because a general fund, from time to time, will experience “spikes”
because of grant revenue that will skew a budget and make a major change to a
city’s proportionate payment.
Council Member Tallerico
moved, seconded by Council Member Barnett to approve the use of the alternate
method to finance the Siskiyou County Local Agency Formation Commission.
AYES: Council Members Barnett, Borcalli,
Sutton, and Tallerico

and/or formation of a new agency.
City
Administrator Wilson reported that the League of Siskiyou Cities has submitted
a proposal to dissolve the League and form a new organization to be known as
Siskiyou League of Local Agencies, and to adopt appropriate Bylaws. Mr. Wilson added that issues of admitting
service districts into the organization and matters of possible liability
brought on action to change the organization.
Council
Member Barnett noted this issue has been before the League for up to one year
and within the past several months a committee was finally formed to consider
advantages and disadvantages of the existing organization and a similar but
expanded one.
After
brief discussion, Council Member Barnett moved, seconded by Council Member
Sutton, to approve the dissolution of the League of Siskiyou Cities on
September 12, 2001, and to disburse the treasury equally among the nine member
cities.
