Dear Mr. Jesser,
In response to the questions raised at the Physical Development Committee
meeting of April 6, 1988, regarding the possible annexation of certain property
owned by CSU, including the foothills stadium, please be advised of the
following:
I. If the Council concurs, the university could be exempt from certain City
codes which could include building and zoning bodes. Specific exemptions
should be specified in the annexation ordinance, along with a statement
concerning local laws which will apply to the property, such as the Model
Traffic Code, as amended.
2. City sales tax will be required in any instance where state sales tax is
currently being collected.
3. Law enforcement will continue to be the responsibility of the university, as
is true for the main campus.
4. Herbicide and pesticide use will continue to be regulated by state and
federal law. We believe most enforecement is accomplished at the County
level, the City has no present regulation on this subject.
5. The university police would be responsible for the enforcement of state
liquor laws. The Foothills stadium would be under the jurisdiction of the
City Liquor Licensing Board. The same situation exists at the main
campus.

6. Explosive storage will continue to be regulated by the university.
7. Hazardous materials storage will continue to be regulated by the university.
8. The City staff would support annexation language used in the past by the
university.
I trust this information is sufficient for your purposes.
Very truly yours,
Aom Peterson
Director of Planning
