<br />RESOLUTION NO. 15-2007
<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS 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 CLAY TOWNSHIP
<br />(DOUGLAS ROAD ANNEXATION AREA)
<br />WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of
<br />South Bend, Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by all (100%) property owners which
<br />proposes the annexation of real estate located in Clay Township, St. Joseph County,
<br />Indiana, which is more particularly described at Page 15 of Exhibit "A" attached hereto;
<br />and
<br />WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately
<br />2.166 acres of vacant land, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the current
<br />City limits, i.e., approximately 14.6% contiguous, generally located at the Northeast
<br />corner of State Road 23 and Douglas Road. It is anticipated that the annexation area will
<br />be developed for office-retail buildings and a parking lot.
<br />This development will require a basic level of municipal public services of a non-
<br />capital improvement nature, including street and road maintenance, street sweeping,
<br />flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection, as well as services of a capital
<br />improvement nature, including street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary
<br />sewer system, a water distribution system, and a storm water system and drainage plan;
<br />and
<br />WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works now desires to establish and adopt a
<br />fiscal plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a
<br />non-capital nature, including street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, and
<br />snow removal, and sewage collection, and other non-capital services normally provided
<br />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
<br />distribution system, and a storm water system to be furnished to the territory to be
<br />annexed (2) the method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization
<br />and extension of those services; (4) that services of anon-capital nature will be provided
<br />to the annexed azea 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 similaz non-capital
<br />services provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend,
<br />regazdless of similar topography, patterns of land use, and population density; (5) that
<br />services of a capital improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within
<br />three (3) years after the effective date of the annexation within the same manner as those
<br />services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend
<br />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;
<br />and (6) the plan for hiring the employees or other governmental entities whose jobs will
<br />be eliminated by the proposed annexation.
