ITEM 3
HIGH VALLEY ASSOCIATION/COUNTY SERVICE AREA #5
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. He gave the history of County Service
Area #5 which was formed in 1966 to maintain High Valley, Vali Hal, Markar,
Kingman and Eastvale Roads. The County annually assesses the residents for
maintenance costs. Because of concern over liability, the County proposed to
add an additional assessment this year to create a fund for potential losses.
It is clear that the County wants to force the dissolution of CSA #5 and have
the city or the residents take over the maintenance.
Staff report by Director of Engineering Services Weston. He reviewed the
traffic counts and proposed improvements totaling approximately $1.9 million
absent right-of-way acquisition costs and emphasized that the goal is to have a
safe roadway under City criteria. He stated the next step is to do a
topographic study of the road in order to get a more refined cost estimate of
the improvements needed.
