has requested this item be taken off - calendar and
referred back to the Council Community Development
Committee for further discussion.
The Council indicated their disappointment with the
reaction of Messenger Investment Company.
Councilmember Montgomery indicated that discussions could
take place with Messenger at committee level to determine
what kind of agreement they want to negotiate and an
amendment application to the sphere of influence to LAFCO
could be undertaken by the City that would obligate
Messenger to develop under the auspices of the City. He
recommended that Council direct staff to initiate and
send that application to LAFCO to amend the sphere of
influence to include Specific Plan No. 8.
In response to Mayor Lawrason, Mr. Aguilera indicated
that the City can make the application to LAFCO whether
or not the owner is involved. He said when the process
progresses to annexation, then there are different
requirements relative to property owners. Mr. Aguilera
said that legally the LAFCO Board does not have to
consider property owners' wishes regarding the sphere of
influence application.

the application would take approximately one week to
prepare and the County would respond in two to three
months.

that staff could be directed to prepare the application
and place it on the next agenda for discussion by the
Minutes of the City Council
Moorpark, California 10 March 3, 1993
Council and a determination of whether or not to submit
it to LAFCO could be made. He said it could be ready to
file the next day if that was the Council's
determination.

influence expansion application for review by the Council at
the next City Council meeting on March 17, 1993 and for the
Memorandum of Understanding to be referred back to the
Community Development Committee for further discussions with
the Messenger Investment Company. The motion carried by roll
call vote, 4 -1, Mayor Lawrason dissenting.
Mayor Lawrason indicated he could not support this
application. He said he was disappointed that the City
has not been able to move the MOU through the process and
"make it happen ". He said the City is now on the brink
of a complete redirection on this matter.

of an event. He said there are different degrees of
sponsorship. He also indicated that should the City
sponsor an event, then that event would be eligible to be
shown on the governmental channel.

Moorpark, California 11
March 3, 1993
Mr. Hare clarified that the broadcast would be made live
on Channel 10.
The City Attorney, Ms. Kane, clarified that as long as
the City is a sponsor, it is a governmental activity and
as such is appropriate for broadcast on the governmental
channel. She indicated, however, that once activities
are allowed to be shown on the governmental channel that
are not sponsored by the City, the City would be "opening
the forum ", which would trigger First Amendment rights.
She said other groups that might not be found acceptable
to the City would be able to assert that the governmental
channel had been opened for their use.
Ms. Hare indicated that the time had arrived to reorder the
agenda.
