BONITA VALLEY QUESTIONAIRE Councilman McMains questioned whether the staff should devote the time to filling out a lengthy questionnaire sent to the City by Bonita Valley residents interested in annexing to the City. Councilman McAllister was of the opinion the questionnaire should be filled out. Councilman McMains asked that if it is filled out, that we request from them the total assessed value of the property proposed for annexation. City Planner Fretz stated that we now have that figure. APPOINTMENTS TO FILL UNEXPIRED TERMS OF OFFICE Councilman McMains was of the opinion that something should be done to prohibit the appointment, by gov. e~rning bodies, of someone to fill the unexpired term of someone resigning from office, the person appointed plans on running for that office at the next election.
