issue is much larger than this particular contract. (Have you <br /> noticed that we no longer have any small, easy to deal with <br /> issues ? ?) I think the problem is that we don't have a clear <br /> direction for what we want to achieve in the River Road area. <br /> We backed out annexing the entire area, but didn't decide what <br /> to do instead. (Cathy told me that 30% of the River Road area <br /> has annexed into the City.) We currently have a number of <br /> service contracts and IGAs with different end dates and no <br /> �-- - }= consistent direction for staff when the contracts expire. <br /> Some of the contracts expire in 5 years. <br /> I asked Cathy to put together some background information on <br /> River Road issues. (Cathy: Abe, Jan and I also talked about <br /> adding Santa Clara issues.) Cathy anticipates that work will <br /> take a couple of weeks. Once it's ready, we'll put the issue <br /> on the Exec agenda so we can go over the information and <br /> begin talking about how to get political direction for the <br /> future of this area. <br /> Please call if you have questions. If you have RR/SC related <br /> issues in your department that you think Cathy should <br /> consider, please call her. Thanks, Linda <br /> Page 2 <br />
