address the issue of the lack of sewer service the West Valley
area. He stated today's report offers no new information on this
subject since the September 11, 1984 discussion, and again requested
Council take action to change the 75% requirement for formation of a
Local Improvement District (L.I.D). Council member Carmichael reminded
Mr. Sherry that he resides in the County and perhaps the County
Commissioners are the persons with whom he should be speaking regard-
ing this issue. Mike Mallinger, 204 SO. 69th Avenue, thanked Council
II/
for listening to their concerns. He stated they had been to the
County and the County indicated they were working with the City on a
solution to the problem. Mr. Mallinger stated he realizes their area
is considered a low priority due to the lack of the 75% of required
signatures. City Attorney Andrews indicated the 75% figure is mandated
by state statute rather than the City Council. Council member Doty
suggested reducing the area to exclude the developer with a large
portion of the property in their particular area in the formation of
the L.I.D. Mr. Mallinger stated reducing the area would result in a
higher cost to those participating in the L.I.D. After further
discussion, it was decided that staff would continue to work with Mr.
Sherry and Mr. Mallinger in an attempt to establish a L.I.D in their
area. It was MOVED by Carmichael, seconded by Buchanan, to accept the
