Mayor Tarver said the next date would be March 11 for the annexation application to go to LAFCO. Mr. Roush said if LAFCO approves the annexation in March, the matter retums to the City Council for final action. At that time a public heating would be held and notices would be sent. This would provide the property owners the opportunity to protest the annexation. The numbers are tabulated and Council would decide if there is majority protest. Mr. Barlow asked when he could protest the annexation. Mr. Roush said he would voice his opinion at the public hearing that will be held after the March 11 LAFCO meeting. He will be notified by mail of the meeting. Mr. Barlow had a concem with the description of the roads. He requested that Hendricks Road be changed to Anna Lane in memory of Anna Andrason, who was born and lived in the area since the early 1900's. He understood that the names have to be approved by the fire department. He spoke with the Fire Marshall and the Fire Marshall's main concern is not to have any duplication of names. A1 Schafer, 777 Happy Valley Road, representing himself (Lot 119), Nick Chapman (Lot 124), and Fred Miranda (Lot 116), requested their properties be annexed to the City along with the other properties going before LAFCO March 11. He opposed the agriculture resolution being adopted tonight. The words in the report should read, "to protect the ranchers". He indicated the staff has never contacted him to participate in the drafting of the agriculture report. He submitted a letter from his attorney dated February 16, 1999. Nick Chapman, 255 Happy Valley, clarified the letter that was submitted by his lawyers. He said he is not the owner of the property (Lot 124), nor has he ever represented this to the Council. The property was purchased by Castle Valley Trust in December 1994. There are three major ranches in question. The Sportono Ranch, the 52 acres where he is at, and the 42 acres that belong to A1 Schafer. He believed these three ranches should have input on the agricultural documents. He has not seen the document. The document uses words, "should be" and not "will be". The document is an agreement between the ranchers and the City in order to preserve the agricultural rights and to continue in a profitable situation. He asked Council to reconsider the document and send it back for further clarification and revision. Bill Howell, 6651 Alisal Street, was happy that staff identified a fair method (subcost allocation) for allocating the sewer and water costs. He asked Council to adopt the Alisal Improvement Association plan. He understood that staff believes if its method is not adopted that the City would have to subsidize the community, but he believes if the Alisal Improvement Association plan is not adopted, he would be subsidizing the golf course project.
