Res 2016-68 RESOLUTION APPROVING INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
FOR THE PURPOSE OF SERVING PROPERTIES WITH WATER
AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES
Planner Jenny Axmacher gave a presentation regarding Resolutions 2016-68,
2016-69, and Resolution 2016-75. Ms. Axmacher stated the city has three general
improvement districts, established to construct infrastructure for quality development
in the city. Currently, the general improvement districts do not require properties to
annex into the city to utilize the districts facilities; however, staff is recommending an
intergovernmental agreement with the general improvement districts and South
Adams County Water and Sanitation District requiring annexation if the property will
use the improvement district's facilities. This would only affect new development and
connections.
