the site. The requested zoning for this annexation is C — Commercial. The surrounding

Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the
annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the
time of First Reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances. Not less than thirty days
of prior notice is required by State law.
19. Resolution 2001-138 Establishing a Two -Person Transportation Funding Committee to
Formulate Recommendations Regarding the Funding of the City's Long -Term
Transportation Needs.
The City's 10-year capital needs related to transportation are extensive. Unfunded
transportation capital needs amount to over $415 million for this 10-year period. At
present, there is no identifiable, stable finding source to ensure that the transportation
capital needs will be constructed. Because transportation is such an integral element to
the health and vitality of the community, City Council wants to:
• review the long-term transportation capital needs of the City
• develop a funding strategy related to the long-term transportation capital needs
• determine if any transportation capital projects should be placed on the ballot for
consideration by City voters at the November 2002 election.
To facilitate this work, this resolution will establish a two -member Council committee to
work with the City Manager in preparing recommendations related to the City's
transportation capital needs and will appoint Mayor Pro Tern Bill Bertschy and
Councilmember Kurt Kastein to the Committee.

related equipment to enhance its cellular phone service. The property to be leased and. a
related utility easement are located in City Park, north of the ballfields. Council has

17. First Readim of Ordinance No. 164, 2001, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent
Domain Proceedings of Certain Lands for a Natural Area Along Spring Creek on a
Portion of Lot 1 of Shadowbrook P.U.D.
Over the past several years the Brookhaven Homeowner's Association has approached
the City inquiring whether the City was interested in purchasing land along Spring Creek
as the creek moves through its Planned Unit Development. In June of this year, the
Association presented a formal proposal to sell 2.484 acres of land along Spring Creek to
the.Natural Resources Department for $10,000 dollars. Staff has reviewed and approves
the proposal.
However, due to the restrictive nature of the Association's Condominium Declaration for
the conveyance of property, the Association's Board of Directors has requested the City
acquire the property through Eminent Domain. Without eminent domain, all Brookhaven
Homeowners (approximately 50 homeowners) in the Association and any lending
institutions holding deeds of trust on each condominium would need to execute the
conveyance document pursuant to the Bylaws of the Association. Staff recommends
adoption of this Ordinance on First Reading to authorize the use of eminent domain
proceedings to acquire the property.
