of Olive Road and the Cleveland Road intersection in German Township, Indiana. The annexation
territory is proposed by its owner, the South Bend Redevelopment Commission, for development
of an expanded right -of -way with any remainder as public land. Such redevelopment will require

establish and adopt a fiscal plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of
services of a non - capital nature, including street and road maintenance, police and fire protection,
and other non - capital services normally provided within the corporate boundaries, and services of
a capital improvement nature, including a sewer collection system, a water distribution system, and
a street lighting system; (2) the method (s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the
organization and extension of those services; (4) that services of a non - capital nature will be
provided to the annexed area within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and that
they will be provided in a manner in standard and scope to similar non - capital services provided to
areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar topography,
patterns of land use, or population density; (5) that the services of a capital improvement nature will
be provided to the annexed area within four (4) years after the effective date of the annexation in the
same manner as the services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of
South Bend, regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density, and in a
manner consistent with federal, state and local laws; and (6) the plan for hiring the employees of
other governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by the proposed annexation; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works of the City of South Bend, and the Board of Public
Safety of the City of South Bend, have each approved a written fiscal plan and established a policy
for the provision of services to the territory proposed to be annexed, which plan and policy the
