The Council, at their September 15, 2004 meeting, adopted resolutions, which among other things, set the date of October 20, 2004 for a public hearing relative to the formation of the Districts, the levy of a special tax and the issuance of bonds. On October 20, 2004, the City Council found that, due to the complexity of the negotiations, the public hearings should be opened, testimony taken, if any, and continued to December 15, 2004.
