Here are a few of the issues the council will consider Tuesday night.
FILM INDUSTRY RESOLUTION
The council will consider a resolution backing a call by the Film
and Television Action Committee for an investigation by the U.S.
Trade Representatives office into subsidies offered by Canada violate
free-trade agreements.
The committee is trying to counter runaway production, the luring
of film and television production to foreign countries where expenses
are cheaper.
The committee seeks support from the council because of the large
number of entertainment-industry businesses located in Burbank.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The council will likely adopt the resolution.
SHARED
PARKING LOT
The council will consider entering into a shared agreement with
the Burbank Community Church, 3310 W. Magnolia Blvd., for use of the
church's parking lot for visitors to the Magnolia Park business
district.
In exchange for making improvements to the lot, the church would
allow it to be used by the public when not needed for its own
services.
The cost of improvements carries a $247,000 price tag for paving,
striping, curbing and driveways, additional lighting and landscape
improvements.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Since parking in the Magnolia Park business district is limited,
the council will probably approve the agreement.
