<br />contiguous to the current City limits, i.e., approximately 44% contiguous, generally located on the
<br />southeast corner of Adams Road and the St. Joseph Valley Parkway. This annexation territory is
<br />intended to be developed as an industrial park which will require a basic level of municipal public

<br />improvement nature, including street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system,

<br />including street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, and snow removal, and sewage
<br />collection, and other non -capital services normally provided within the corporate boundaries; and
<br />services of a capital improvement nature including street and road construction, street lighting, a
<br />sanitary sewer extension, a water distribution system, and a storm water system to be furnished to
<br />the territory to be annexed (2) the method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the
<br />organization and extension of those services; (4) that services of a non -capital nature will be
<br />provided to the annexed area within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and that
<br />they will be provided in a manner equivalent in standard and scope to similar non -capital services
<br />provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar
<br />topography, patterns of land use, and population density; (5) that services of a capital improvement
<br />nature will be provided to the annexed area within four (4) years after the effective date of the
<br />annexation within the same manner as those services are provided to areas within the corporate
<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 (6) the plan for hiring the employees or other governmental entities whose j obs
<br />will be eliminated by the proposed annexation.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE
