4/19,/84 Page -4- ,.ouncilman Luce Councilman Luce suggested that a clause Compelling Interest Clause be included in the annexation policy that the burden is on the annexor to prove what the compelling City interest in the annex- ation would be, then Council will consider it. Time Frame Councilman Cussen suggested that the Resolu- tion on the growth policy be for the term of the Councilmembers. Councilwoman Morris suggested that the Resolu- tion be reviewed within a year and perhaps a formal policy in the form of an Ordinance be developed after an evaluation.

The commissioners considered the mai~ter and decided that it should be pre- sented to the Consortium of Cities, which is meeting in Longmont the first Wednesday in May - May 2nd, and we will distribute copies of the notice. Councilwoman Morris Stated that all councilmembers had received Questions to be Discussed a copy of a letter from Commissioner Heath with very specific questions regarding our position so that Councilman Leary or she can give some idea on where we stand more so than our motion. Some of the questions to be addressed are - Whether or not we wish to participate? If so, where and how? What should the structure be of such a com- mittee? Who should make the appointments of the representatives? What corridors are proposed? Who is going to fund it? Who ha.s the authority to authorize it? What i~, the role of the State Highway Commission? What should the role be of DRCOG? What is the jurisdiction of the Counties and Muni- cipalities? What time frame we are looking at?
