City Council Minutes 19 June 7, 2005 permitted, and that the County has no objection to the City of Tracy providing water service to the property. If a resolution with the above criteria is adopted, staff believes that City Council consideration of service to individual properties is not necessary. City staff can manage and implement the policy and requests. Council Member Tolbert asked for clarification of the phrase "a case-by-case basis" and if that referred to the agreement between the City and the County. Mr. Reeds stated yes. Pastor William Roland, 55 Shakespeare Court, addressed the Council on behalf of the People of Christ Church, and urged the Council to grant water to the site so construction of the church could proceed without further delay. Pastor Roger Rickman, addressed the Council in support of the provision of water to the Larch Clover area. Mark Humphries, 277 James W. Smith Drive, addressed the Council in support of places of assembly being given certain considerations. Carlton McAllister, 30 Hawthorne, addressed the Council in support of churches in Tracy. Deacon John Ryan, 163 Eaton Avenue, addressed the Council in support of the free practice of religion, which includes affordable space. Robert McMillan, 2931 Georgia Court, stated he supported the specific request of the People of Christ Church receiving water service. Council Member Sundberg asked for clarification regarding the notice and subsequent rescission. Mr. Reeds stated the letter was rescinded because there was no means to provide sewer because the sewer line was delayed, although since that time the County has stated they will allow temporary systems until the sewer line is complete. Mr. Reeds added that because the property was not annexed, the existing policy was in place. Council Member Sundberg asked if there was a problem for the sites to receive sewer and water. Mr. Reeds stated there was still a problem with sewer, but that the applicants would have to satisfy County requirements. Mr. Sharma added the reason for the rescission of the will serve letter was due to the failure of the annexation. Currently, was no mechanism to allow the connection. Council Member Tucker asked if the agreement extended to current residents only of the Larch Clover area. Mr. Reeds stated it was to the uses on the property that were done at the time of the agreement. Council Member Tucker asked how many homes water was being provided to. Mr. Sharma stated current residents have water along with a few non-residential properties. Debra Corbett, City Attorney, stated the 1986 agreement indicated that the City agreed to provide water to existing uses, not to vacant properties. Ms. Corbett stated the resolution for consideration would provide unimproved areas with one unit of water.
