REPORTING ON CLOSED SESSION:

INITIAL OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD OF ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:  (Two minutes on any matter concerning City Business.)

There are four segments of Oral Communications during the Council Meeting.  The first precedes the Closed Session items, the second and third segments precede the main part of the City Council�s business (but follow announcements and public hearings), and the fourth is at the end of the meeting following all other City business.

Closed Session Oral Communications.  During this period of oral communications, the public may comment only on items listed on the Closed Session Agenda(s).  A PINK card must be completed and presented to the City Clerk.  Comments will be limited to three minutes.

Initial Open Public Comment Period of Oral Communications.  During this period of Oral Communications, the public may comment on any matter concerning City Business.   A BLUE card must be completed and presented to the City Clerk.  NOTE:  Any person speaking during this segment may not speak during the third period of Oral Communications. Comments will be limited to two minutes.

Agenda Item Oral Communications.  This segment of Oral Communications immediately follows the first period, but is limited to comments on agenda items for this meeting.  For this segment, a YELLOW card must be completed and presented to the City Clerk. Comments will be limited to four minutes.

Final Open Public Comment Period of Oral Communications.  This segment of oral communications follows the conclusion of agenda items at the end of the meeting.  The public may comment at this time on any matter concerning City Business.  NOTE:  Any member of the public speaking at the Initial Open Public Comment Period of Oral Communications may not speak during this segment.  For this segment, a GREEN card must be completed and presented to the City Clerk.  Comments will be limited to two minutes.

City Business.  City business is defined as any matter that is under the jurisdiction of the City Council.  Although other topics may be of interest to some people, if those topics are not under City Council jurisdiction, they are not City business and may not be discussed during Oral Communications.

Videotapes/Audiotapes.  Videotapes or audiotapes may be presented by any member of the public at any period of Oral Communications or at any public hearing.  Such tapes may not exceed the time limit of the applicable Oral Communications period or any public comment period during a public hearing.  The playing time for the tape shall be counted as part of the allowed speaking time of that member of the public during that period.

Videotapes must be delivered to the Public Information Office by no later than 10:00 a.m. on the morning of the Council meeting in a format compatible with the City�s video equipment.  Neither videotapes nor audiotapes will be reviewed for content or edited by the City prior to the meeting, but it is suggested that the tapes not include material that is slanderous, pornographic, demeaning to any person or group of people, an invasion of privacy of any person, or inclusive of material covered by copyright.

Printed on the videocassette cover should be the name of the speaker, the period of oral communication the tape is to be played, and the total running time of the segment.  The Public Information Office is not responsible for �cueing up� tapes, rewinding tapes, or fast forwarding tapes.  To prevent errors, there should be ten seconds of blank tape at the beginning and end of the segment to be played.  Additionally, the speaker should provide the first sentence on the tape as the �in cue� and the last sentence as the �out cue�.

As with all Oral Communications, videotapes and audiotapes are limited to the subject matter jurisdiction of the City and may be declared out of order by the Mayor.

Disruptive Conduct.  The Council requests that you observe the order and decorum of our Council Chamber by turning off or setting to vibrate all cellular telephones and pagers, and that you refrain from making personal, impertinent, or slanderous remarks.  Boisterous and disruptive behavior while the Council is in session, and the display of signs in a manner which violates the rights of others or prevents others from watching or fully participating in the Council meeting, is a violation of our Municipal Code and any person who engages in such conduct can be ordered to leave the Council Chamber by the Mayor.

Once an individual is requested to leave the Council Chamber by the Mayor, that individual may not return to the Council Chamber for the remainder of the meeting.  BMC �2-216(b).

Individuals standing in the Council Chamber will be required to take a seat.  Also, no materials shall be placed in the aisles in order to keep the aisles open and passable.  BMC �2-217(b).

REPORTS TO COUNCIL:

       2.      Request by Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority to amend �Grant of Easements, Declaration of Use Restrictions and Agreement for Trust Property� to EXTEND the temporary use of approximately 20 acres of the M-2 zoned portion of the Trust Property for use by Desmond�s Studio Production Services:

The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority (Authority) is requesting that the City amend the Grant of Easements, Declaration of Use Restrictions and Agreement for Trust Property (the Trust Property Easements) to extend Desmond�s Studio Production Services (Desmond) rights to utilize approximately 20 acres of the Trust Property portion of the former Lockheed B-6 site as a temporary location for its movie production vehicle and equipment storage facility while its permanent facility is being constructed on the Adjacent Property portion of the B-6 site from September 1, 2003 to December 1, 2003.  The Council previously approved the relocation of Desmond to the Adjacent Property site, including authorization of an amendment to the Grant of Easements, Declaration of Use Restrictions and Agreement for Adjacent Property (Adjacent Property Easements).  The Council also previously approved an amendment to the Trust Property Easements to allow Desmond to use a defined portion of the Trust Property on a temporary basis up to September 1, 2003.  The Authority has requested the Council extend the time that Desmond can remain at the temporary location through December 1, 2003.

Desmond currently leases from the Authority approximately 10 acres of a portion of the B-6 property located in the City of Los Angeles, immediately north of the proposed project site (Building 360 site).  Desmond intends to consolidate that operation with vehicles currently stored at other sites in the Los Angeles area onto a single facility on the Adjacent Property portion of the B-6 property located in the City of Burbank (Adjacent Property Site).  Pursuant to Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Section 21661.6, the Council adopted Resolution 26,348 approving the Airport Authority�s plan to lease approximately 25 acres of the Adjacent Property portion of the former Lockheed B-6 site by Desmond for its movie production vehicle and equipment storage facility.  The Council also authorized staff to enter into the appropriate amendment or modification to the November 16, 1999 Adjacent Property Easements required to allow Desmond to use that portion of the Adjacent Property.  On November 4, 2002, the Planning Board approved a Conditional Use Permit for the relocation of Desmond to the Adjacent Property Site.

In late January 2003, the Authority and Desmond completed negotiations regarding the lease for the Adjacent Property Site.  The Authority and Desmond have begun the work necessary to make the Adjacent Property Site ready for use by Desmond.  That work, including permitting, was expected to take approximately seven months.  Initially Desmond�s final site on the Adjacent Property Site was expected to be ready by approximately August, 2003, however the Authority has requested more time to complete the Adjacent Property Site.

The Authority has asked the City to amend the Trust Property Easements in order to extend the temporary use of approximately 20 acres of the M-2 zoned portion of the Trust Property for the interim relocation of Desmond through December 1, 2003.  The temporary facility will allow Desmond to keep the approximately 500 trailers and pieces of equipment stored on the Trust Property until the Adjacent Property Site is completed.

Recommendation:

Adoption of proposed resolution entitled:

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK APPROVING AN AMENDMENT OF THE �GRANT OF EASEMENTS, DECLARATION OF USE RESTRICTIONS AND AGREEMENT FOR TRUST PROPERTY� TO EXTEND THE TEMPORARY USE OF APPROXIMATELY 20 ACRES OF THE M-2 ZONED PORTION OF THE TRUST PROPERTY FOR USE BY DESMOND�S STUDIO PRODUCTION SERVICES TO DECEMBER 1, 2003 (BURBANK-GLENDALE-PASADENA AIRPORT AUTHORITY, APPLICANT).  

        3.      COUNCIL REQUEST TO DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL RENAMING OF THE UNITED STATES POST OFFICE (OLIVE AVENUE) IN MEMORY OF MR. BOB HOPE:

Pursuant to Council direction given at the August 12, 2003 Council meeting, staff has conducted additional research on the issue of supporting the renaming process of the United States Post Office (Olive Avenue Branch) in honor of the late legendary entertainer, Mr. Bob Hope.

On August 12, 2003, the Council requested staff contact representatives of the Bob Hope family to confirm their position on the renaming of the Olive Avenue Branch Post Office in honor of Mr. Hope.  Staff affirmed that while the family�s primary efforts are to support and pursue the renaming of the Burbank-Pasadena-Glendale Airport in honor of the legendary entertainer, they are not withholding support of Congressman Adam Schiff�s legislative efforts in regard to the Post Office.  The family is very grateful for the support given by the community and the entire nation to honor Mr. Hope. However, their initial concern was that pursuing both efforts would jeopardize their primary goal.

As the issues have developed, staff has ascertained that the processes for either renaming are mutually exclusive.  The process for renaming the Airport will not be affected by the process of renaming the Post Office if the Council should choose to send an additional letter of support to Congressman Adam Schiff.  In addition, the family is in support of Congressman Schiff�s efforts, albeit that their own personal and primary efforts will be directed at the Airport renaming.

Recommendation:

It is staff�s recommendation that the Council initiate discussion on this matter and direct staff as necessary in regard to sending a letter of support to Congressman Adam Schiff for his efforts to enter legislation to rename the Post Office (Olive Avenue Branch) in honor of Mr. Bob Hope.

FINAL OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD OF ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:  (Two minutes on any matter concerning the business of the City.)

This is the time for the Final Open Public Comment Period of Oral Communications.  Each speaker will be allowed a maximum of TWO minutes and may speak on any matter concerning the business of the City.  However, any speaker that spoke during the Initial Open Public Comment Period of Oral Communications may not speak during the Final Open Public Comment Period of Oral Communications.

For this segment, a GREEN card must be completed, indicating the matter to be discussed, and presented to the City Clerk.

COUNCIL AND STAFF RESPONSE TO THE FINAL OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD OF ORAL COMMUNICATIONS:

ADJOURNMENT.
