-" Roger Manning responded to some comments. It was the City staff not the land owners that recommended the dual track system. He urged planning the golf course issues now and working the next six months to resolve the residents' issues. He was not concerned about which property annexed to the City. Those with problems with water or sewer have always had the ability to get water from the City. Harley (Bud) Adcock, Pastor of the Faith Chapel, agreed that there would be problems with traffic and felt the solutions should be found now instead of waiting until later. He did not feel an additional three to six months should be a problem. E. J. Leek, 1698 Greenwood Road, urged the Council to get on with the golf course so he would have a chance to play on it (he is currently 71 years old). He read a newspaper article about a man who started playing golf at age 92 and is now 103 and still playing. Karin Mohr left the meeting at 10:05 p.m. due to illness. AI Morris, Happy Valley Road, asked if the Happy Valley Road improvements were part of the cost analysis for the project. He also was concerned that the flooding problems be considered. __ Mr. Lum indicated $50,000 had been allocated to widen a specific turn on Happy Valley. Other improvements are being considered. Mr. Tarvet indicated other improvements would be taken into consideration in the environmental document which will consider traffic, noise, etc. That will not begin until November 1996. Traffic, sewer, water, etc. will be addressed in the process. Ms. Acosta indicated it was important to move forward with the design of the golf course. Staff feels it is also critical to retain a project manager as soon as possible. Hiring people would take approximately 45 days. Mr. Tarvet asked if it were possible to have meetings with the residents to resolve the issues before proceeding with the other steps. Ms. Acosta indicated one of the key challenges was not taking any more staff time in the middle of the work on the San Francisco plan and the General Plan update. The same people wffi be working on all these issues and it is very difficult to allocate any more time without a project suffering. From now until lune, there is just no more staff time to allocate. Ms. Micheloff indicated this proposal requires the City to purchase the land for the golf course and the City has to expend a sizeable sum of money to get the project started. The funds to pay for this will come from bonds which will be repaid by proceeds from the operation of the golf course. No taxpayer inoneys will be spent. However, there is still some risk, which is 03/05/96 -11-
