<br />(KLINK ANNEXATION AREA)
<br />WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of South Bend,

<br />of vacant, undeveloped land, located in Portage Township, St. Joseph County, contiguous therewith
<br />and generally located at the southwest corner of Ewing (extended) and New Energy Drive. It is
<br />anticipated that the development of the territory proposed to be annexed will be developed for use
<br />in the storage and delivery of aggregate materials, which development will require a basic level of
<br />municipal public services, including services of a non -capital nature, such as street and road
<br />maintenance, and services of a capital improvement nature, including street construction, street
<br />lighting, sewer facilities, and storm water facilities; and

<br />establish a definite policy showing (1) the cost estimates of services of a non -capital nature,
<br />including street and road maintenance and other non -capital services normally provided within the
<br />corporate boundaries, and services of a capital improvement nature, including street construction,
<br />street lighting, sewer facilities, and storm water drainage facilities to be furnished to the territory to
<br />be annexed; (2) the method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization and
<br />extension of those services; (4) that services of a non -capital nature will be provided to the annexed
<br />area within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in
<br />a manner equivalent in standard and scope to similar non -capital services provided to areas within
<br />the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend, that have characteristics of topography, patterns
<br />of land use, and population density similar to that of the territory to be annexed; (5) that services of
<br />a capital improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within three (3) years after the
<br />effective date of the annexation in the same manner as those services are provided to areas within
<br />the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend that have characteristics of topography, patterns
<br />of land use and population density similar to that of the territory to be annexed and in a manner
<br />consistent with federal, state and local laws, procedures, and planning criteria; and (6) the plan for
<br />hiring the employees of other governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by the proposed
<br />annexation.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS OF
<br />THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS:
