The Chair asked Assistant General Counsel Kristina Nelson to explain the particulars of the bill, which she proceeded to do.  Council Member Joost inquired about the costs of the environmental clean-up, once the property was reverted back to the Beaches, wondering why the Beaches were not sharing a portion of  the costs.  C/M Joost wondered if an amendment would be in order requiring the Beaches to pay a portion of the contamination clean-up.  Council Member Dick Brown noted that the responsibility for meeting the costs of the clean-up were the City’s per an Intelocal Agreement that the City and Beaches reached and signed in 1995.  Council Member Corrigan asked if this particular bill was time-sensitive, suggesting that the Committee might want to research the background of the arrangements for the contamination clean-up.  Council Member Crescimbeni observed that the time for raising questions about who would be responsible for the clean-up costs would have been when the Interlocal Agreement was discussed and reached in 1995.
