She asked if these could somehow be incorporated into one set so that Council would not have to read through identical sets of conditions.

After further discussion, Mayor Butler instructed staff to prepare a report regarding this matter. Councilmember Wood stated he has concern regarding the proposed Jarvis°Initiative relative to additional tax reductions, and if passed how it will affect the city's finances and the recently adopted tax increases imposed by the City.

Carney requesting that a sound wall be constructed on the east side of Santa Rita Road from Mohr Avenue to Morganfield Road. He asked if this pro- ject could be included in the assessment district for the improvements of Santa Rita Road. Mr. Warnick advised that if a sound wall is deemed necessary at this location, it could be included in this assessment district and that it could be considered in the Environmental Impact Report being drafted. He stated that the draft EIR is ex- pected to be completed in 3-4 months. Staff was directed to get a copy of the EIR to the Carney's when available.
