< � � _; _ . � . _ .
Mayor Fulkerth made the following 5tatement: ;
"For some weeks now there has been much interest generated on the part .
of a number of people in 'regards to a�proposal that a certain area, namely
� � Enterprise; be annexed to the City of Reddirig. . C.ertainly the City.of . �
' Redding does not intend to follow any procedure other. .than that procedure
� prescribed by law. The people of the City of Redding did not initiate this
proposal. It is not our lawful position to propose annexation. As. you are
aware, some folk within the Enterprise area petitioned.the City to annex.
/ These people had and have reasons, based on facts. Not just economic
,. .__ . _ .. .
��l"� facts, but social facts as well. They believe basically .that from a pro-
gressive, orderly developed, .p"roperly planned, visionary standpoint the
best interest of the whole community of Redding, not just.within its.present
legal boundaries but also the area next to it, might be best served if we
became one-------. There are some who resis:t' change.; .This is their
.� prerogative. . No one wants to�be� told:what to.do, but as.we all learn in
life; .when tliose wlio are. coneerned with our well.being pr.esent us with
� facts the picture sometimes changes-----. . What the people need now,
are:facts and through public discussion before any decision can be made.
Please do not settle.the, cas.e.in�your own mind before youu are presented
with all the facts availabTe. These facts._will be presented to you in a
democratic manner prescribed by law. The Redding City Council must at
this time remain in a neutral position. We, too, need all the facts . We
do not have all the facts, either, at the present time: It is too early to
make a decision now on anyone's part.
_
�City Attorney outli,ned the 'steps. necessar�y for�the annexation of an area; that
�
aften receiving report arid�recoxrimendation from the Planning Commission, the
Council was in a position to legally consider co�senting to ;the.commencement of

of annexation are in a�po�it'ion.to legally �reque,st tYie Boundary Gommission to
consider the boundaries of the proposed annexation. _ ; ;
