<br />and other non - capital services normally provided within the corporate boundaries, and services of
<br />a capital improvement nature, including water and sewer; (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 in standard and scope to similar non - capital
<br />services provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of
<br />similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density; (5) that the services of a capital
<br />improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within four (4) years after the effective date
<br />of the annexation in the same manner as the 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; and (6) the plan for
<br />hiring the employees of other governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by the proposed
<br />annexation; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend, the Board of Public
<br />Safety of the City of South Bend, and the Board of Water Works Commissioners of the City of
<br />South Bend, have each approved a written fiscal plan and established a policy for the provision of
<br />services to the territory proposed to be annexed, which plan and policy the Common Council finds
<br />appropriate and the adoption of which as the plan and policy for the City of South Bend, the
