BRIEFLY : CITY COUNCIL URGES HANSEN DAM LEASE.A City Council panel recommended Monday that former jockey Eddie Milligan be given a 21-year lease to operate the Hansen Dam Hansen Dam in Los Angeles County, California was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District in 1939 and 1940. The project is located near the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley on Tujunga Wash, about one mile below the confluence of the Big Tujunga Wash Equestrian Center, even though Milligan has sued the city and says he will not sign any lease other than for the 30 years he was promised. Councilman Richard Alarcon said the recommendation by the council's Arts, Health and Humanities Committee gets the issue to the full council while the city pursues a request with the landowner, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for permission to grant a lease longer than 21 years. Milligan said he needs a 30-year lease to amortize all of the investments he has made in improving the equestrian center, which he currently operates on a month-to-month lease. ?13Daily News Judge grants request in LAPD 1.
