Ms. Miller stated she does not feel the City should research the cost for a special service district. She stated agreement with Mr. Delay for e making certain that costs are clearly separated for sewer and annexation. Mr. Delay added that the tabloid need not include information on a single- service approach. The costs for sewering are there regardless of the annexation issue. Mayor Keller indicated agreement with Mr. Delay and Ms,. Miller, and stated that it is imperative to maintain the position of not supporting single-service districts. He stated that the City should provide its best proposal and let the County provide information on alternatives if they want. He expressed concern that the costs not be understated and suggested that they be declared 111980 estimates.1I Mr. Lieuallen stated that special service districts are not mentioned in the tabloid and he hoped they would be included, perhaps in the City's perspective section. Mayor Keller stated that he would like to see the revised draft before it is released to the news media. Ms. Schue expressed concern with page 11, paved streets, and stated that it is not clear who pays. Ms. Miller stated the section is clear if people are familiar with the jargon but might not be clear to the public. Ms. Miller asked how the figures on police protection were arrived at. Ms. Decker responded that these were population and Police Department estimates. Ms. Miller stated that it might be interesting to compare these figures with the current service level of the Sheriff's Department. Ms. Smith asked that this be brought back to the council again and coun- cilors let staff know of their concerns. Ms. Decker stated that they would develop another draft and bring it back to the council in early -- September.
