Director Pinto commented that staff has been working on the <br />squaring off of territories and it is not a simple situation of <br />just drawing a line because there are a lot of people involved <br />and a lot now receiving utility service from the City who should <br />be in the county and vice versa. They did not want to be too <br />arbitrary, and did the best they could to look at all the <br />individual situations. The only two areas where they got into <br />deep discussion was near the Hospital and out off of 43rd Avenue <br />where the City is now servicing a little development in there <br />with water.
