Several questions were posed to representatives of the redevelopment agency.Director Culver stated that attorneys had mentioned that there would be no major trunk sewer lines to be constructed to serve the area and requested assurance that this was so.Dennis Courtemarche,Seal Beach City Manager, stated that no development was expected in this area that would require lines and that none was planned.It was also pointed out that in the event Sanitation District No.3 implements a user charge in lieu of the property tax,the full charge would apply to the consolidated area,including that within the redevelopment agency. Following further discussion,it was moved and seconded that the Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No.3 adopt a resol~ution authorizing execution of a consolidation agreement between County Sanitation District No.3 of Orange County,County Sanitation District No.14 of Orange County,the City of Seal Beach,and the Redevelopment Agency of the City -of Seal Beach.Following an indication that the vote for consolidation would not be unanimous and,therefore,require additional proceedings,a substitute motion was then moved, seconded and duly carried:0 That consideration of consolidation of County Sanitation District No.i-i-into County Sanitation District No.3,in accordance with the policies and procedures for annexation to District No.3 as provided in Resolution No.72-6-3,be continued to the regular meeting on May 10,1972.
