However , he feels it is incumbent that Council express an opinion, based on the information it has received regarding the annexation. Councilwoman Gard concurred with Councilman Demsher, adding that it should be made clear to the people that Council is expressing its knowledge a�s to what� it feels is best for- the 'long=term benefit of the co mmunity. . - Councilmari Anderson agreed that the voters should be infarmed as to ' how Council views th'e annexation. ; Councilman Pugh said he felt Council would be remiss if it did not' g'ive the citizens tlie benefit of its thinking; that Council should look �closely at how growth and deve'lopment will be coritrol'led and give the citizens some guidance. He also believes that Councii should indicate to the EPUD citizens that we wi11 welcome them and are willing to handle their problems:-� . Mayor Fulton said he is not fully convinced that Reddirig is in a position to take on this responsibility, noting that it is ver�y unusua'1 for a city the size of Redding to take on an annexation this large be'cause of the costs involved.

He mentioned increased water, electric , and garbage costs, as well 'as police and�fire protection. � Counci'lman Demshe� said that he had the same reservations .original'ly, but now feels that the question is -- what is this community going to laok like in 20 year's; wh�t kind of planning and growth wi11 take place?
