KNIGHTON ROAD/CHURN CREEK BOTTOM AREA
(W -020-500/ A-150/E-050-500)
Deputy City Manager Bachman recounted that he attended the Shasta County Board of
Supervisors meeting this afternoon and advised that the Board intends to send a letter to the
City Council requesting a joint meeting regarding a proposed new agreement between the
County and the City regarding sew~r service to the Knighton Road area. Mr. Bachman
explained that in 1990, the Shasta County Board of Supervisors and the City Council entered
into a statement of intent regarding a number of annexations which included th~ Stillwater
area, and in return for the Board's support of these annexations, the City agreed to extend
City sewer service to the Knighton Road interchange area (without annexation to the City).
The agreement was then superceded by a subsequent agreement in 2000 due to a conflict
among the County Supervisors and did not include the Stillwater annexation exchange.
However, Mr. Bachman said, that the City Attorney now believes the agreements are not
enforceable.
I
Council Member Kight questioned the nexus between the Stillwater annexation and
providing sewer service to the Knighton Road area. Mr. Bachman responded that the County
is requesting a joint meeting in an attempt to craft a new agre.ement which provides a trade
off for the Stillwater annexation in exchange for City sewer service to the Knighton Itoad
area.
Mayor Pohlmeyer stressed that the Stillwater Business Park is the City's number one priority
because it will provide much-needed jobs and urged everyone to keep this in mind in the
days and weeks ahead.
