e e e services. The assessed value of all the property in the proposal is $5.6 million. The Blachly-Lane properties are tax exempt. The City provides police service to the airport, and those police will respond to calls from the properties in the proposal. Mr. Gleason said the police cannot do preventive patrol work now. Mr. Carlson said the City has a contract with the Lane Rural Fire Department, and it will continue to provide fire service to properties in the proposal. Responding to a question about deferring or compensating owners who have invested in septic systems, Mr. Carlson said sewer systems must be built to serve all the properties along them. The tax diferential procedure is the best way to mitigate the impact of annexation. Ms. Schue said it is reasonable for people to invest in private sewage systems on property that is not contiguous to the city limits. Mr. Gleason responded that the City accepted a schedule of connections when it accepted the Federal grant for the River Road/Santa Clara sewer system. The Airport Road properties are in that area. Several councilors asked the staff to provide additional information at the public hearing. Mr. Hansen asked if it is a City policy or a practice not to charge interest when assessments are deferred. He was bothered by the large area in the proposal and asked how the boundary was chosen. Mr. Holmer would like a list indicating the owners of each tax lot in the proposal, the area in each property, the assessed value of each property, and whether the owner consented to the annexation. Mr. Miller would like information about ways to mitigate the costs of annexation to non-consenting property owners. Mr. Rutan said the councilors need to know what they can do at the public hearing to modify the proposal. He noted that the councilors can withdraw the properties of non-consenting owners, but the councilors cannot withdraw properties so that the triple majority statistics are changed or so that the proposal has an illogical boundary. Mayor Obie said he will not be present when the council considers the Airport Road annexation proposal. He said the owners of the Coca Cola Bottling Plant on Highway 99 North are deciding whether to stay in this area. The council IS decision could have an impact on that decision. Answering a question from Mr. Holmer about annexing the Coca Cola property in a separate procedure, Ms. Brody said the annexation process will have to begin again if the council decides to divide the proposal. Mayor Obie adjourned the work session at 12:40 p.m. R~~ ~c;t.;~~r'- City Manager (Recorded by Betty Lou Rarick) BLR:pv/1950C MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 22, 1986 Page 3
