Chairwoman Hoch opened the public hearing.
Mark Stursma, 122 E 3rd Street, stepped forward to represent the applicant. He explained that the

adding that this pond was annexed in 2015 as a part of the City' s agreement with the Papio-
Missouri River Natural Resources District ( P- MNRD) to own and maintain Prairie Queen
Recreation Area.
Mr. Stursma explained that this portion of Prairie Queen Lake is the only portion of the City Limits
that falls within the Millard School District. He added that the City helps distribute equal shares of
the Omaha Public Power District ( OPPD) in lieu of tax payments to the school districts served
within City Limits. He explained that the Millard School District currently receives an equal share
of the payment although it does not provide services in City Limits. He summarized that the City
believes that it is most fair to allow the money to benefit the school district that serves City Limits.
Chairwoman Hoch called for proponents and opponents. Seeing no further input, Chairwoman
Hoch closed the public hearing and called for Commission Discussion or Motion.
Chairwoman Hoch asked whether the in lieu of tax payment would become a moot point once the
City annexes properties to the west. Mr. Stursma stated that some of the industrial development
to the west of Prairie Queen will be ready for annexation within the next few years. He added that

at that time, the detached piece would likely be re- annexed, and the Millard School District would
then receive its share of the payments.
Mr. Masters asked when the detachment parcel was originally annexed. Chairwoman Hoch stated
that it was annexed in 2015. Mr. Masters asked whether the initial annexation of the detachment
tract was an oversight. Mr. Stursma estimated that the in lieu of tax payment was likely less
significant at the time of annexation.

recommend approval of Ordinance No. 1948 — 2021 Detachment ( MISC- 21- 0018). Roll call: Six
