Withdrawal of annexed ~r~~s from Oakway Water District: Cone/ Pub Hrg ~reeden, Be,l!.line and Crescent; Smith and Gilham Road--Resolu- tions distributed to Council. Mr. Bradley questioned what the effect of action would be if after public hearing the City Council decided to not allow the withdrawal? Stan Long, City Attorney's office replied the residents of the area would then be subject both to taxes on bond obligations in that district and to the city. He said it was a complicated matter, and he was not sure but that the city residents could force the City to allow the withdrawal. Mr. Bradley then questioned on the Cone/Breeden whether this was the appropriate time to approve the withdrawal. Manager replied the City was following well established policy procedures of the Council, noting that the withdrawal from such water districts normally went through as quickly as possible. Mr. Bradley then asked if it made any difference that this property was undeveloped as to the tim- ing of the withdrawal from the water district. Assistant Manager replied that normally the withdrawal and annexations occurred at the same time. He said that by allowing the with- ~. drawal it would avoid a liability to the property owners for .., paying on new bonds and being taxed by the City. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel to schedule public hearing June 27, 1977, for withdrawal of annexed areas from Oakway Water District. Motion carried unanimously. Com 5/25/77 IV.

He said the negotiations had been going on for a considerable period of time, many participants had been involved, and he was pleased to announce that the airli~es had consented to sign the term leases three years earlier than had been necessary.
