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

<br />have each approved a written fiscal plan and established a policy for the provision of services to the
