He stated SB 502 would not affect programs undertaken by a Federal agency. The City Attorney stated that a reinstitution of jet operations would require an EIR under the 1969 Act. Regarding a development proposal for the Harvey property, the City Attorney stated that, in the event SB 502 is re- pealed, the City Council could require by ordinance whatever information they feel is necessary to inform themselves of the merits or demerits of a proposal and that a developer can be required to provide the equivalent of information contained in an environmental impact report. He advised that the one instance where the City would be adversely affected is when another public agency proposes a project in the City and is not required to prepare an EIR. Councilman i!arvey stated he did not feel environmental impact reports are effective since the reports can be manipulated to serve the interests of the recipient and the cost is ultimately passed on to the consumer.
