Wood asked Banks to explain the purpose of the annexation. Banks explained that this annexation would be done to include Berry Creek in District 5. von Rosenberg outlined the service plan highlighting the sewer service, saying that a portion of the area is already connected to the City sewer system, and that the remainder of the area would be provided sewer connections within 4 1/2 years of the date of annexation. Walker Cushman, 4315 Cordoba Circle East, complained to Council of the high price of $4800 to connect to the City sewer line, saying that his septic system is sufficient. He said he does not care to be annexed and does not want to pay City taxes. He complained of potholes, and of the roads being tom up to supply the sewer line to Sun City. Bain pointed out two potholes at Gabriel View and Booty's Road. George Simpson, 4313 Cordoba Circle East, said he objects to being annexed and objects to paying for the sewer line that goes to Sun City. Wood said that the sewer line to Sun City had nothing to do with the proposed annexation. He said that the Berry Creek annexation is what initiated the need for the annexation of this portion of Serenada. Simpson asked for copies of the service plan. Hart asked staff to make copies and distribute them to those in the audience that wanted them. Mike Jackson, from the audience, asked if Berry Creek had been improperly annexed. Banks replied that the annexation was proper and explained that in order to draw the City Single Member Districts correctly within population distribution requirements, Berry Creek would need to become apart of District 5. In order to make Berry Creek contiguous with the current District 5, a strip of land through the Serenada Subdivision would need to be annexed. When asked why the City was not annexing Indian Mound, Hart responded that the annexation area follows the drainage basin for the connecting sewer line, and that there is currently no sewer line in Indian Mound. Frank Parmenter, 4106 Sequoia Trail East, said he found contradictory statements in the service plan for the annexation. He asked the Council not to make it mandatory for people with good septic systems to tie into the City sewer line. Minutes of the City Council Meeting/January 28, 1997 Page 7 of 10 Pages Motion by Vincent, second by Hoyt to approve the resolution to initiate annexation. Approved 7-0. PP First Reading of an ordinance establishing water conservation rates for residential customers for billing periods between June and October -- Susan Morgan Morgan explained that this ordinance is the result of what was discussed in a previous Council workshop to conserve water and postpone building the next water treatment plant. She read the caption of the ordinance. Bain questioned whether the rates were the same as discussed at the workshop, and asked Morgan how the figures were derived. Morgan explained that there were no scientific methods and anything over the $1.95 rate would be set aside and saved to put toward the cost of future plant expansion. Mulock asked for the timeframe on electronic reading of water. Hart responded that the City anticipates the electronic reading to begin the first quarter of 1998. Morgan said the conservation rates would go into effect on June 1, 1997. Motion by Bain, second by Burson to approve the ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0.
