As a result of discussions between Council, others present,
Mr. Lins, arid Mr. Cansler, the following was ascertained
with regard to the proposed Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area:
1. It is necessary that Azusa join with the other
three cities to form the Joint Powers Authority
inasmuch as the Corps of Engineers has given
' permission to use the land, based upon accept-
ance of all cities concerned.
2. Financing: The Joint Powers Authority would
sell bonds for development. The County of
Los Angeles must budget through their Parks
and Recreation Department sufficient funds to
pay the rent as established by the Authority
to retire these bonds. This would amount to
approximately one-fourth of one cent on the
total County tax rate. history has shown that
all County golf courses are showing a profit.
3. Time Elements: One year to develop plan; one
and one-half years tc start construction; and
one to one and one-half years for the actual
construction. Total estimated time: Three
years from the formation of the Authority until
the facility would be completed. The first
stage of development would be the golf course
and clubhouse, at a cost of approximately
$3,000,000. This would be maintained and
operated by the County Parks and Recreation
Department.
' 4. Facilities: In addition to the golf course and
cciubhiouse, the area would include equestrian
facilities, picnic area, model hobby area, and
the thought has been given to a mini -bike
facility. But due to noise levels, big bikes
would not be allowed. Due to the nature of the
terrain (rock and gravel), water sports are not
planned.
After the discussion, an informal poll of Council members
by the Mayor showed that, with the reservations of how much
it will actually cost, and the approach of constructing
