City Council Minutes 15 April 19, 2005 infrastructure would be handled. He was in favor of the requested annexations if they met the criteria proposed by staff. Council Member Tolbert was concerned with the piecemeal process of annexation and designing criteria not only for the sizeable parcels that seem poised for annexation, but for individual parcels as well. Council Member Tolbert also had concerns with how the infrastructure would come together and the social inequity that could occur. Council Member Tolbert concluded by siding with the rights of individual property owners who she felt have their rights impinged upon by government in so many different ways and for so many different reasons. Mayor Bilbrey commented on the Berg Road annexation where the City is now providing sewer over time and indicated this area could possibly develop in the same fashion if people were given a chance. Council Member Sundberg was concerned with the rights of the property owners, and the cost of the infrastructure due to the limited funds available. Council Member Tucker felt more information was needed and asked if staff would bring back guidelines to Council. Mr. Reeds confirmed they would and clarified that the City would go forward, look at what is out there and suggest ways to proceed. An advantage to doing several small annexations is if there is less than 12 inhabitants who are registered voters the property owners deals with it not the residents. Mayor Bilbrey directed staff to enter into discussions with the property owners to inform them that this is a property owner initiated annexation process and to determine what would need to be done with regard to the three areas which had requested annexation. Regarding the issues related to supplying water to the two places of worship, if the County would allow a temporary septic system the City could work on providing water on a case by case basis, and not amend any agreement with the County that is currently in place. Council Member Tolbert asked if the City was restricting providing water to the two places of worship and no one else. City Attorney Corbett suggested with Council direction staff could develop some criteria for all the vacant parcels. Council Member Tolbert agreed. 12. COUNCIL ITEMS A.
