The meeting was recessed to the McNutt Room for agenda item V. V. METRO PLAN UPDATE Mr. Croteau stated a summary of the River Road/Santa Clara area situation was sent out by special courier. Mayor Keller noted that last night three jurisdictions approved all 12 items as outlined on the June 16 agenda. The original 12 issues are all resolved, except for the River Road/Santa Clara item. Mr. Farah stated that Policy 7 states that urbanizable land can become e urban land only through annexation. It was determined at last night1s meeting that this was true everywhere except River Road/Santa Clara. They have prepared a two-page summary of the tabloid. An opinion survey by Lane County showed that people in the River Road/Santa Clara area feel they need additional information before annexation would occur. Mr. Lieuallen stated that one of the issues raised last night was whether or not the City position addresses the concerns of the people in River Road/Santa Clara. One main question is sewers and costs. He asked if staff is working on costs of alternatives. Special service districts would be more than annexation, but this information needs to be demon- strated to the people. He asked if the City would be pushing for resolution of this situation prior to completion of the study. Mr. Farah noted the tabloid is a compilation of facts, not a study. Ms. Mi 11 er noted she did not feel that LCDC would support the plan. It does not contain a resolution to the River Road/ Santa Clara situation. She feels it will become no easier to resolve. She said she is not certain it will be productive to say that we will work together with Lane County. She felt it would be better if citizens were more involved. Mayor Keller noted agreement with this. Mr. Lieuallen noted that if the City found a process for annexation to take place, another element should be that ad valorem taxes would be used for direct benefits. e 6/18/80--13
