~8 2/3/69 1 b. Annexation, Area between Bertelsen Road and Four Oaks Grange Road, Krumdieck - The Planning Commission recommended approval of annexation subject to a contrpct stating Krumdieck Bros. will pay the sewer assessment for present hook-up and accept further assessments for any system developed in Bertelsen Road. The City Manager said it was his understanding that the Planning Commission did not recommend, at its last meeting, annexation of an island which would be created by annexation of this property. . Mr. Oscar Krumdieck, 2880 Gilham Road, explained that he had moved a duplex onto this property, and that he had requested annexation for sewer and water connections. Creation of the island had been unintentional. Dr. Purdy moved, seconded by Mrs. Hayward, to approve the annexation. Motion carried. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to approve Item 3b, subject to a contract Motion carried. 2 4. State Legislation, Bancroft Bonds - A memorandum previously distributed to the Council summarized the problem faced by the City when submitting a prospectus showing not only City bonded indebtedness, but overlapping bonded indebtedness. If the City issued Bancroft Bonds without general obligation backing, the issue would not jeopardize the City's general obligation debt limit, and it could absorb increased interest costs, while protecting general obligation debt margin for larger issues. It is proposed that the State Statute be amended to make the general obligation pledge optional. In answer to a question by Dr. Purdy, the Manager said that, so far as he knows, bonds would be salable at a slightly increased interest rate, but there ts no indication that the 6% interest rate would be approached. I Mrs. Hayward seconded by Mrs. Beal moved that necessary amendments be drafted and submitted for this legislation to give cities a choice in bonding. Motion carried. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to approve Item 4 and to draft the necessary legisla- tion. Councilman Wingard commented that this bill is already in the legislature. A vote was taken on the motion as stated and the motion carried. 3 5. Dog Control - The Manager explained that, under present procedure, the City enforces dog control within its limits, for which it may retain 80% of the fee collected for licenses sold within the City. Income from this fee will be approximately $12,000 and the City now expends about $22,000 for control. The County has:'submitted a contract to continue this agreement, but the Manager will contact the County to attempt to arrange for the Coun~yyto take over enforcement with retention of the entire fee. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to receive and file. The Manager explained that the present contract will be in effect for the remainder of the fiscal year. The County will not enforce control in the City at this time, but perhaps the City can make arrangements for County enforcement for the next fiscal year. Councilman McDonald felt the City should have a more stringent dog control ordinance, and asked that there be an investigation into the cost and possibility of a leash law. Mayor Anderson suggested that this be placed on an early agenda. A vote was taken on the motion as stated and the motion carried. 4 6. Parking Restriction, 5th and Lawrence - Oregon State MOtor Association "has requested elimination of one parking stall at the northeast corner"of this intersection. The Traffic Engineer states that tfiis request is valid and recommends removal of this stall. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Dr. Purdy that thisJrecommendation be approved. Mrs. Hayward expressed concern with the difficulty caused by cars parking too close to intersections and asked if a study had been made of this problem. The City Manager said no overall study had been made, but that parking restrictions have been extended along 18th and 19th and Oak and Pearl Streets. . The question was called on the motion and the motion carried. 5 7.
