<br />boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, or
<br />population density, and in a manner consistent with federal, state and local laws, procedures and
<br />planning criteria; and (5) the plan for hiring the employees of other governmental entities whose
<br />jobs will be eliminated by the proposed annexation.
