City Clerk Ramos submitted the Affidavit of Publication, Mailing and Post- ing, and reported that three letters of protest have been received, from the City of Riverside, County of Riverside, and Riverside Construction Company. Mrs. Ramos advised also that she had been handed a Petition con- taining signatures of 40 registered voters, opposing Annexation South 44. City Manager Benest reported that the City Council and the Planning Commis- sion previously took action to approve the prezoning and annexation of ap- proximately 300 acres located west of the Colton City limits and north of the San Bernardino County line. Mr. Benest stated the proposed annexation is seen by Staff and the Local Agency Formation Commission as proper., as it is within the City of Colton's Zone of Influence. LAFCO approved the annexation on September 21, 1988, by Resolution No. 2152. Mr. Benest continued the purpose of this public hearing is to hear testi- mony from registered voters and/or land owners within the proposed annexa- tion. Following the close of the public hearing, staff requests that the City Council continue this matter to the regular Council Meeting of Novem- ber 15, 1988, or to a Special Meeting. Staff will make a recommendation later in the meeting, which will provide time for Staff to validate the appropriateness and sufficiency of the protests received.
