the Temple a certain area of the lot in exchange for the right-
of-way that was acquired for the extension of San Gabriel Blvd.
Since that time members of the Council have looked at the
property and agreed that it would be in the best interests of
the City to not divide this property, and instead offer the
Temple an amount of money equivalent to the amount we are paying
the State for the property, plus an easement across the corner
of the triangular section.
It was also pointed out that a memorandum agreement would be
prepared for the Council's consideration.
