In the response by Council, it was noted that the present position of Council opposing annexation to the District was based in part on observations that benefit to the cities which have been in the District since its inception do not seem to be sufficient to �ustify the costs, as well as on the basis of Council's arduous efforts during the budget study sessions to keep the property tax down. It was recognized that the Commission's initial position in support of the measure was taken well before the budget meetings , Discussion continued relating to the advisory function of the Park and Recreation Commission, and the concern of Council that the Commission should make its recommendations to Council in order that a unified position could be achieved with regard to any particular legislation Joint Mtg w/Park & Rec 7/26/76
