<br />OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND
<br />ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN ANNEXATION
<br />AREA IN GERMAN TOWNSHIP
<br />(RICHARD MURPHY ANNEXATION AREA)
<br />WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of South Bend,
<br />Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by the sole (100%) property owner which proposes the
<br />annexation of real estate located in German Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is
<br />described more particularly at Table I, page I I in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated
<br />herein; and
<br />WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately 1.62 acres
<br />on which is situated a vacant single family home, which property is at least 12.1 % contiguous to the
<br />current City limits, i.e., approximately 16.3% contiguous, generally located at the southwest corner
<br />of Olive Road and the Cleveland Road intersection in German Township, Indiana. The annexation
<br />territory is proposed by its owner, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission, for development
<br />of an expanded right-of-way with any remainder as public land. This redevelopment will require a
<br />basic level of municipal public services of a non -capital improvement nature, including street and
<br />road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection, and services of
<br />a capital improvement nature, including street and road construction, a street lighting system, a storm
<br />water system, a sanitary sewer system, and a water distribution system; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works now desires to establish and adopt a fiscal plan and
<br />establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a non -capital nature,
<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
