CONTROL OF STA.RLINGS This item was tabled due to the absence of Councilman Fulton who was ��f i to make the report. TWIN VIEW ANNEX NO. 2 City Attorney Murphy reviewed the report of the Staff Committee, dated May 28, 1969, re the acute water problem existing in the vicinity of the east side of the Interstate 5 - Oasis Road Interchange, in which the Committee recommends annexation of the area as offering the most �/•c�� feasible solution to the problem. The Committee further recommends that, if LAFCO consents to the annexation, Council authorize the pro- vision of temporary water service to Harrison's Marina and the five ��%�� residences in the immediate viciriity by the installation above the ground of a 2" service water line. Mr. Harrison appeared before Council and submitted a petition which represents at least 60% of the assessed valuation of land owners involved in the area proposed to be annexed. Mr . Harrison mentioned that although the managers of two service stations on the west side of Inter- state 5 (proposed to be included in the annexation) have indicated they favor annexation, they cannot speak for their respective companies . Also, Mr. Gerlinger could not sign the petition because the property is in an estate, but he did look favorably upon the proposed annexation, according to Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison e�ressed his appreciation for all of the assistance offered by members of City staff. Mr. Cibula also thanked members of staff for their help. MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Denny referring the matter of annexation to the Planning Commission for review and approval, and authorizing staff to assist in the preparation of an annexation petition to be submitted to LAFCO, providing the Planning Commission approves said annexation. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes I Councilman Chatfield indicated he favors temporary water service to the area at this time with extension of permanent service upon com- pletion of the annexation. 90 There was considerable discussion as to whether the cost of the temporary water line should be borne by the City or funded out of the Buckeye Service Area budget. It was the recommendatiori of the Committee that the cost of the line be charged to the City, inasmuch as the Buckeye budget is tight. In answer to Mayor Moty's inquiry as to whether it would be proper under the LA.FCO A.greement' to extend the line temporarily or permanently and assess the entire District by increasing the water rate, Mr. Murphy replied that in the LAFCO A.greement it was spelled out that the extension policies in the unincorporated portion of the dissolved District would be the same as those within the City., and within the City, if there is money in the water account, occasionally the City extends water lines with City water funds, but normally the exten- sions are by assessment district or by "leap frog" agreement. Mr. Murphy said that staff felt it would not be in keeping with the in- ferred policy at the time of taking over the Buckeye County Water District to raise the water rate to pay for the cost of this extension. Finance Director Courtney favors financing the temporary water line from Buckeye source of funds, and upon completion of annexation to reimburse the Buckeye account from City Funds. Mr. Courtney coxnx�iented that sales tax from Mr. Harrison's Marina would repay the cost of a temporary water line within one year. Councilman �C�hatfield and Mayor Moty concurred with Mr. Courtney's recommen- dation. MOTION: Made by Councilman Anderson, seconded by Councilman Chatfield approving temporary water service as quickly as possible to the area specified heretofore, to be paid for out of Buckeye funds, and upon completion of annexation the Buckeye account to be reimbursed out of City funds. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes Mayor Moty stated that this particular case has certain unusual features of considerable benefit to the City; i.e. , mainly sales tax income. The Mayor said this is one of the points he considered in approving the tem- porary extension of the water line. It was brought out in the Staff Committee Report that in order to obtain wate r s ervice f r om the pe rmanent wate r line, pr ope rty owne r s would be required to pay the usual front footage connection and water meter installation charges called for by the City Code but would not be re- quired to pay gross acreage charges. PRELIMINARY BUDGET - 1969-70 i Finance Director Courtney submitted the 1969-70 Preliminary Budget. � ��/,%� A. tentative date for consideration of the budget was set for the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, June 25th. TRAFFIC AND PA.RKING COMMISSION RECOMMENDA.TIONS Traffic Engineer Hamilton submitted the following recommendations . of the Traffic and Parking C ommis sion: Parking Prohibited = Portion of Pioneer Drive It is recommended that parking be prohibited on Pioneer Dri ve from Eureka Way to the western limits of the High School � property between the hours of 8:00 A .M. and 5:00 P.M. , � Monday through Friday. This portion of Pioneer Drive has not `��� yet been dedicated to the City, and t$e School District has indi- cated it woulcl not be in favor of dedicating the street unless parking is prohibited, as they wish to control parking by students and professional vendors. Mayor Moty questioned the necessity of prohibiting parking on that portion of Pioneer Drive west of its intersection with the unnamed school road. Councilman Chatfield commented that parking is already at a premium for spectators of sports events during school hours, and also said that perhaps the matter of street dedication should come from the Board of Trustees rather than from the administrative staff. In a discussion of this matter Councilman Denny said he would abstain from voting as it involves the High School District. 91 It was decided to table the matter until the Council meeting of June 16th and to request District 5uperintendent Richard E. Haake to appear before Council at that time.
