BUSINESS SUPPLENENTAL II[PORT TO ~TER Ii~LL LOCATION Councilman Edgar stated that the study indicates that water quality is something that will not be known until after the wells are operative; therefore, any consideration for blending capability should be deleted at this time. He suggested the Council direct the Redevelopment Agency to direct staff to proceed with test drillings at Col umbus-Tustin and Peppertree Park sites; upon com- pletion of same, staff would submit results to the Council/Agency; staff, in turn, would be directed to prepare plans and specifica- tions (assuming that the tests indicate water quality to be as expected); and upon bid award for well construction, the Agency would appropriate funds from the proceeds of the tax allocation bond sale (approximately $500,000) as a means of getting real cost economy next summer in the water system. Mayor Hoesterey stated he does not believe the Redevelopment Agency should pay for all the Tusttn Water System wells, in keeping with the commitments made when the system was purchased to operate it as an enterprise fund.

TOXIC ClIEMICALS Mayor Pro Tem Kennedy reported that the City of Irvine is looking at revamping their ordinance dealing with companies handling toxic chemicals, and requested Council consent to direct staff to look at Irvtne's ordinance and others in Orange County so that Tustin can update its ordinances on the matter. The City Manager responded that Ir vine's is a "disclosure" ordinance which requires companies handling toxic chemicals to file information with the city on the nature of those chemicals, with restricted access to that informa- tion. He continued that there has been a great deal of controversy in terms of revealing trade secrets within various industries, but a compromise was reached via restricted access to information. The Orange County Fire Department is proposing, on behalf of its contract cities, to adopt a similar ordinance and administer an ongoing enforcement program through computer operations, where all information would be cataloged. The City Manager suggested that staff look at the Irvine and County programs, and report back to Council. He stressed that there are distinctions as to when you can and cannot charge the company involved for the cost of toxic spill clean-up. Council concurred. 51 4.
