A RESOLUTION OF THE ATASCADERO CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO ENTER
INTO DISCUSSIONS WITH WELLS FARGO BANK, TRUSTEE,
REGARDING ACCEPTANCE OF ROADS
WHEREAS, Wells Fargo Bank is the successor trustee
( "Trustee" ) of a trust created in 1931 to hold title to certain
real property in the Atascadero area;
WHEREAS, for several decades the only remaining asset of
such trust has been the technical legal title to roadways in the
Atascadero area;
WHEREAS, the Trustee desires to divest itself of such title
and has set forth various proposals for doing so;
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously created a committee
(the "Roads Committee" ) comprised of Councilpersons Bonita
Borgeson and Robert Lilley, City Attorney Art Montandon, and City
Manager Ray Windsor, to study and make recommendations to the
City Council concerning various issues relating to streets and
roads;
WHEREAS, the Roads Committee has met with representatives of
the Trustee for the purpose of initiating discussions and
exploring options with respect to the acceptance by the City of
the roads held by the Trustee;
WHEREAS, the Roads Committee has determined that it would be
appropriate for the City to conduct surveys of the roadways
within City limits for the purpose of determining which roads are
currently acceptable for inclusion in the City-maintained system,
and which roads may be the subject of an acceptance but do not
currently meet standards for inclusion in the system of roads
maintained by the City;
WHEREAS, subject to making such determination, the City
Council considers it to be in the best interests of the citizens
of the City of Atascadero that a comprehensive solution to issues
of title, liability and maintenance of roadways be achieved;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the
City of Atascadero that the members of the Roads Committee are
hereby authorized to initiate such studies and surveys of the
roads within City limits as may be necessary or desirable to
make a determination with respect to acceptance of such roads
into the City-maintained system;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the members of the Roads
Committee are authorized and directed to coordinate with the
Trustee for the purpose of achieving a comprehensive solution to
all relevant issues relating to roads within a reasonable period
of time from the date hereof, and in furtherance of that goal, to
enter into such agreements with the Trustee, on behalf of the
City, as they deem necessary or advisable.
