<br />sidewalks and sewer facilities, and other capital improvements normally provided within the corporate
<br />boundaries, to be furnished to the territory to be annexed; (2) the method(s) of financing those
<br />services; (3) the plan for the organization and extension of those services; (4) that services of a non -
<br />capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one (1) year after the effective date of the
<br />annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner equivalent in standard and scope to similar
<br />non -capital services provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend,
<br />regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, and population density; (5) that services of a
<br />capital improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within four (4) years after the
<br />effective date of the annexation within the same manner as those services are provided to areas within
<br />the corporation boundaries of the City of South Bend regardless of similar topography, patterns of
<br />land use, or population density, and in a manner consistent with federal, state and local laws,
<br />procedures, and planning criteria; and (6) the plan for hiring the employees of other governmental
<br />entities whose jobs will be eliminated by the proposed annexation.
