Bob Generous presented the staff update and recommended approval of resolution
number 3. Councilman Ayotte asked about the impact at the county and state level.
Mayor Furlong asked for clarification on the types of services provided to the properties
in the rural service district and the task force recommendations. He then opened the
public hearing. Gail Degler, 1630 Lyman Boulevard speaking as a member of the task
force, provided background information on why the rural service district was originally
established and recommended that the City Council go along with the task force
recommendation and call the task force back on a yearly basis to update the parcels. Al
Klingelhutz, 8600 Great Plains Boulevard, also a member of the task force spoke in
support for keeping the rural service district. Mayor Furlong closed the public hearing.
Councilman Lundquist asked for clarification on what staff was recommending.
Councilman Peterson thanked Mr. Degler and Mr. Klingelhutz for providing historical
background on the rural service district but questioned it's validity today. Councilman
Ayotte stated he would like to see the district remain until 212 is built. Councilman
Lundquist stated essentially his feeling was it comes down to a matter of is it worth the
staff time and effort and all the other taxpayer money versus just taking the developed
parcels out. Mayor Furlong expressed his opinion that if the decision of this council
tonight is not to eliminate the district in it's entirety, he would hope that future councils
would not spend any time on it because it isn't economically worth anything to the
taxpayers involved, staff, or the council.
Resolution #2004-61: Councilman Lundquist moved, Councilman Ayotte seconded
to approve resolution number 2 adopting the modified list of properties in the rural
service district prepared by staff based on the exclusion of properties with sewer
and water available. All voted in favor, except Councilman Peterson who opposed
and the motion carried with a vote of 3 to 1.
