Victor Vaits advised the Council that Southern Californ-
ia Edison Company had made an error when they submitted a Grant
Deed dated August 3, 1982, to the City of Vernon by failing to
specify that the property described therein was to be used for
road purposes because the accompanying parcel map did not specify
the creation of a parcel which was to be transferred to the City.
Therefore, the original Certificate of Acceptance should be void-
ed and a new Certificate of Acceptance be approved which would
indicate that the property would be accepted on behalf of the
public for road purposes so that the transfer of said property
conforms tQthe pr.eviously approved parcel map and can then be
recorded with the County Recorder's Office.
It was moved by McCormick, seconded by Ybarra, that the
previous Certificate of Acceptance dated August 3, 1982, is here-
by declared null and void and that the Mayor be authorized to
sign a new Certificate of Acceptance indicating that the interest
in the real property conveyed by the Grant Deed dated August 3,
1982, from Southern California Edison Company to the City of
Vernon is for road purposes. Motion carried.
It was moved by McCormick, seconded by Ybarra, that the
City Council go into executive session under Section 54957 of
