Boulder Avenue is on the east side of Highland. The Highland Area MAC has set boundaries of a "study area" for a propnsed Fiighland area "one nf influence" as the San Bernardino National Forest boundary, Norton Air Forcp and Rprilanris "zonp of influpncp" on the east.

MAC temporary chairman Kennpih Strealer has emphasized these are "study boundarips only and subject to revision." Paul Steele, planner, county Planning Department, said a "zone of influence" is a "plan for probable service areas of each local governmental entity."

The proposal gave city council authority to levy a tax up to If) cents per $100 assessed valuation for supplemental municipal services through regular city departments. The city council as a whole rejected the idea and it was never placed on the ballot. By NFYIN F.
