Bob Taylor: That was the only thing at that time, because again, it was kind of a rehash of the original EIR that came back through. And, we were not doing so much as a mitigation factor as it was advising them that they weren't going to just come through rip up a street and walk out by just filling the hole back up. That was presented and was approved by Council on two different occasions where this came back through Council. And, that was the mitigation that we said at that time. There is another EIR that will be coming through on this project. There is also an encroachment permit that must be issued. So, under an encroachment permit, the City has the ability to exact mitigations for construction -when someone opens up your street, you can require them to pave additional areas and those types of things. Under a separate EIR you can do it. Under this agreement tonight, the City Council could say "this is what we want" and that would be part of the record -Council Member Galvan would take that back to EBDA as part of this agreement. This is a conceptual agreement -this is not the final document that's here tonight. Basically, what's being asked is that if a document very similar to this - substantially the same deal points are in it - to authorize your Council representative, Councilman Galvan, to vote in favor of entering into an agreement with EBDA. The final agreement would be hashed out -there's still some legal phrases that have to be worked out. But, in general conformance with what is before you, that's what's being asked for -not approval of this document specifically. So, if the Council wants to put more specific mitigation factors in, they could give that specifically and then Councilman Galvan, when he goes to EBDA, he could make that a part of it.
