Mr. Carpenter reviewed the history of the Baylor Bill with Council. He
was asked if the 30% mentioned in the bill -.ant 30% in each m\lnic:1pal1ty
or 30% district wide. Mr. Carpenter st.~ th3t the intent was district
wide, but nO more than 30% is offered eaeb 8Unicipality. This is to prevent
land grabbing.
Tnere was sOlIe question as to whoa would determine where the 30% would be,
school district or City.
Kilian stated that the City Council must -.ke a finding thst other lands in
the area are inadequate for open space. The school board can substitute one
site for another if it meets the area'. Deeds. However, a general plan must
be adopted first.
A question followed regarding the amount that could be added to the baaic
cost of buying the surplus school sites. The amount could equal the eost
of acquisition, a cost of living increase, cost of l~rovements and 'the
direet cost of capital improvements reSttlting from the transfer of students
because of school closure.

hoo~. The City Attorney further ststed ~t substitution of sites is limited
to one school site. The district may sell a portion of the site at fair market
value if they offer another site at a redDred price.

the City of Palo Alto as they are well versed in the Naylor Bill. It was
determined that if a building is to be used for a community center, it could
be purchased at the reduced rate taking iDto account the cost of improvements.

the reduced cost property will be. On May 16, 1983 the City Council will
