He stated there are apparent differences between these shelters and billboards, however this should be considered. Mayor Parks asked if the applicant has been approved by UMPTAH yet.

Councilmember Mufioz stated that bus services cannot exist without subsidy, such as a bus shelter system, however he would be in favor of a condition whereby these funds must be used for transportation purposes. It was moved by Councilmember Mu~oz, seconded by Councilmember Lindemarts to refer this matter to staff with direction to work with the applicant to address the concerns expressed by the Council and to place on the Council agenda of February 26, 1991 for further consideration.

City Attorney Field reported Items 13 and 14 have been delayed due to a Riverside County requirement that in addition to the normal reserves set aside to cover defaults, any land owner who owns 30% or more of the property within the district must post a letter of credit, equivalent to the amount of the special tax, on their properties for two years. He stated Bedford Properties owns over 70% of the property, and at this time has not posted such a letter of credit.

Notice has been received that this will not be placed on the Board of Supervisors Agenda until such a letter of credit is posted.
