<br />RESOLUTION NO.
<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
<br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND
<br />ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN
<br />ANNEXATION AREA IN CENTRE TOWNSHIP
<br />(HENRY 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 all (100°/x) property owners which proposes the
<br />annexation of real estate located in Centre Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is more
<br />particularly described at Section I of this Resolution; and
<br />WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately
<br />1.21 acres of land containing a single family home, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous
<br />to the current City limits, i.e., approximately 21.6% contiguous, generally located near the
<br />southwest corner of Miami Street and Farmington Lane (61175 Miami Road). It is anticipated
<br />that the annexation area will continue to be used for a single family residence. This site will
<br />require a basic level of municipal public services of a non - capital improvement nature, including
<br />police and fire protection, street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow removal,
<br />and sewage collection, as well as services of a capital improvement nature, including street and
<br />road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system, and a
<br />storm water system and drainage plan; and
<br />WHEREAS, the South Bend Common Council now desires to establish and adopt a fiscal
<br />plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a non - capital
<br />nature, including police and fire protection, street and road maintenance, street sweeping,
<br />flushing, and snow removal, and sewage collection, and other non - capital services normally
<br />provided within the corporate boundaries; and services of a capital improvement nature including
<br />street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer extension, a water distribution
<br />system, and a storm water system to be furnished to the territory to be annexed (2) the method(s)
<br />of financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization and extension of those services; (4)
<br />that services of a non- capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one (1) year
<br />after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner equivalent
<br />in standard and scope to similar non - capital services provided to areas within the corporate
<br />boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, and
<br />population density; (5) that services of a capital improvement nature will be provided to the
<br />annexed area within three (3) years after the effective date of the annexation within the same
<br />manner as those services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of
<br />South Bend regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density, and in a
<br />manner consistent with federal, state and local laws, procedures, and planning criteria; and (6)
<br />the plan for hiring the employees or other governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by
<br />the proposed annexation.
<br />WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend, and the Board of
<br />Public Safety of the City of South Bend, have each approved a written fiscal plan and established
