II. CITY'S ANNEXATION PROGRAM A woman in the audience asked to raise a point of order. Mayor Obie agreed to her request. She asked for confirmation that public comment on the City's annexation program would not be accepted today. Mayor Obie confirmed her statement. She asked when public comment would be received. Responding to the point of order, Planning Director Susan Brody reviewed the process for implementing the City's annexation program. She said the Budget Committee will hold public hearings on the financing of the program later this month, a public hearing will be held on the City's comprehensive fee study which is to be reviewed in May. and another public hearing will be held on changes to the City Code which will be required by changes to the City's sanitary sewer funding system. She said the annexation program responds to direction in the Metropolitan Area General Plan which had extensive public involvement before it was adopted in 1982. Mr. Gleason added that the Citizen Advisory Committee reviewed the planning process for River Road/Santa Clara Urban Facilities Plan before it was adopted by the council. Mayor Obie invited Lane County Commissioner John Ball to join the councilors at the table. Mayor Obie said Commissioner Ball has been involved in many activities which affect the annexation program. Ms. Brody said the council discussed the proposed annexation program at a joint meeting with the Planning Commission. She said the councilors empha- sized the need for the staff to respond to property owners who indicate an interest in annexation, and the councilors asked for additional information about the cost of sewers and the incorporation of a new city in the River Road area. She said the Planning Commission is responding to the council's direc- tion to prepare criteria for logical service delivery boundaries for triple majority annexations.
