Councilmember McDermott asked questions regarding the requirement for sewer service for new developments such as McAIlister Ranch and Rosedale Ranch. Joel indicated that sewers were required, but they may decide to provide their own or hook up to the City sewer. C. Universal Refuse Collection City staff asked the status of universal refuse collection. County staff responded that they anticipated resuming negotiations with the haulers representative, Larry Moxley, regarding mandatory collection. There was no firm date set for this item to be considered by the Board of Supervisors. D. Fire Service/Station Locations Joel Heinrichs distributed a letter which detailed the County's recommended action to form a joint City/County Ad Hoc Fire Services Committee to fully and expeditiously evaluate the recommendations of the Citizens' Advisory Committee. City staff indicated that the matter was on the AuguSt 7 agenda for the City Council to consider. There was discussion regarding the costs for the upgrade of the County communications center and involvement by City staff. There were concerns expressed regarding getting the latest technology for the upgrade. Councilmember McDermott asked when the new station in the Allen Road area would be constructed. County staff responded that the station had been approved by the Board and referred to the CAO to develop funding (they will most likely finance construction). They indicated it should be under construction by January 1997 and after about six months when completed, it would be staffed. They said per the JPA, they need agreement with the city regarding the location of the new station. E. Coordination of City/County Road Projects (Calloway) There was a discussion regarding the impacts of the opening of the Calloway bridge on traffic at the intersections of Rosedale Highway and Palm Avenue. Councilmember McDermott asked if the County has considered traffic control devices such as stop signs at Palm Avenue as a shod-term, interim solution. County staff indicated they were looking at a separation of grade on Calloway near Palm Avenue which is also a problem. They indicated the state legislation may be changing the funding for separation of grades and funding could be adversely affected.
