suggestion was made to ask the EPB to review the program in one year to determine if it is successful and make a recommendation. Concern was expressed by several Councilmembers that the indemnity language was only good if the company was still in business and they supported better positioning to assure the City is protected. It was pointed out that the Council had previously directed staff to explore the option of East Side Oil Companies leasing City land for its equipment, which would better position the City to limit liability. Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson explained staff was confident the indemnity language and positive response from other communities placed the City in a good position, but would have no issue exploring a lease -back opportunity with Eastside Oil Company. Substitute motion by Mayor Ramsey seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to postpone consideration of equipment lease agreement with East Side Oil Companies to the next meeting to allow time for staff to explore a lease -back option with East Side Oil Companies.
