<br />" <br /> Mr. Delay requested a general discussion item for metro-area services, <br /> potential services that could be delivered on a metro basis that are <br />. not now so delivered; and a general discussion on economic development. <br /> Mayor Keller said it might be necessary to review those services being <br /> supplied by County vs. the City, i.e., water service and ambulance <br /> service. He said it was necessary to know where peopl e are regarding <br /> whose responsibility it is to do these things. <br /> Mr. Hamel requested a discussion regarding a 36-hole public golf course <br /> for the metropolitan area. <br /> Ms. Smith wondered if an annexation policy of the City in terms of who is <br /> providing services might be an agenda item. Assistant Manager said there <br /> might be some restraints regarding discussion of annexation policies <br /> because of current litigation. Mr. Long reported to Council new guide- <br /> lines have been set forth by the Supreme Court in that annexations are <br /> now partially quasi-judicial, noting the implications from that decision <br /> are not clear. However, future annexations will be subject to statewide <br /> goals and guidelines. He noted staff will be working very hard in the <br /> next few weeks to see what the implications of this decision are and <br /> will bring a report back to Council. <br /> VI I.

Walt Haniuk, Parks Acquisition Specialist, <br /> said the two parcels on the agenda were both vacant and these were priority <br /> purchases. The other property has residences and will be scheduled for <br /> discussion at some future date. <br /> Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. <br /> VIII.
