C, ANNEXATIONS
City Manager Alan Tandy gave an overview of the City's educational program for
annexation of County Islands. He indicated informational meetings had been held
in the Chester #3, Casa Loma #6, Dennen and Old Stockdale areas. Alan
explained that the City is interested in annexation from the standpoint of improving
the efficiency of City and County service delivery.
D. LOCAL ENFORCEMENT AGENCY
City Manager Alan Tandy explained that the City was conducting a study to
determine the feasibility of the City becoming its own LEA. Since the City is
implementing the CUPA program, we may be able to provide these services more
cost effectively than what is currently being charged by the County. An example
given was the inspection of City refuse trucks where the County LEA charges the
City $250 per truck versus a possible City fee of about $35 per truck. There are
some County areas which would fall within City jurisdiction if this were done, and
a JPA could possibly be entered into regarding those locations. There was
discussion regarding the areas currently regulated by the LEA and concerns
expressed regarding the costs of service, lack of timely response and clear
direction regarding remediation of regulatory issues. Dave Price indicated that the
County was willing to meet with City staff to address the issues presented and to
convene a working group of City and County staff to work out operating agreements
and address cost effectiveness of their program.
Supervisor Peterson requested that this item be placed on the next agenda for
further discussion.
E. CSA 71 - URBAN SEWERS
City Manager Tandy explained that the City was entering into the Design contract
for the expansion of Wastewater Treatment Plant #3 and a response is needed
regarding connections in CSA 71 from the County. Joel Heinrichs indicated they
are ready to response and working with their staff regarding sizing and financing
issues. City Public Works Director Rojas indicated that in order to properly size the
project, their response is needed as soon as possible.

F. FIRE STATION LOCATIONS
The County indicated that they have an option to purchase property to build a Fire
Station at Renfro and Brimhall and if all goes well, they could be in operation in a
year. They will be making the final decision as 'part of their budget approval this
summer. Councilmember McDermott expressed concerns regarding the residents
at Stockdale and Allen Roads and the proposed senior citizens development at
Brimhall to be constructed by Castle and Cooke. There was discussion regarding
the locating of fire stations related to future development and transition of stations
from the County to City as areas develop. Joel Heinrichs stated that due to the JPA
and Fire Fund agreement there would be no reason to ever transition stations from
the County to the City and there is no need for a transition plan.
G. BOOKING FEES
Staff gave a brief update indicating that a tentative agreement on a multi-year
agreement had been reached at the staff level and would be presented to both the
Board of Supervisors and the City Council in a few weeks for approval.
H. COOPERATIVE EFFORTS LIST
City Manager Tandy discussed the status of the fourteen areas identified for
possible cooperation between the City and County. He indicated that some of the
issues are being dealt with separately since they involve major issues, some have
been resolved in a positive manner, some didn't work out, and about one third are
still in process. He indicated a written status report will be prepared and
distributed.
