    Move this forward. In the meantime, the areas that will require a vote by property owners, the City and LAFCO could work with experts in this kind of work effort to poll interest. If the Bond pits or OPA tell them and Council its doesn't have the required support, Council can put those areas in a no at that time. Olive, El Modena, the west Lincoln island areas all need to be part of Orange. Most people think they are already.

    I've always noticed these islands in the City Boundary Maps, and I'm glad to see we're finally considering including these within the City. Most importantly are the Santiago Creek Island (ID #23) or Recharge Basins, as these are key resources vital to the Santiago Creek and will align with the Strategic Plan. I am only concerned with Island #18 due to the R J Noble site at this property. However, if the City can reign in this company to ensure they are not discharging any pollutants to the Santa Ana River or into the air then I would support annexation. I support City staff to pursue annexation of all remaining County islands, and identify any additional analysis desired before initiating formal proceedings.
