SUMMARY STATEMENT
APPROPRIATION
REQUIRED:
The Annexation Committee held its first formal meeting
October 27, 1989. A written summary of that meeting is
attached for your review. Also, a loose-leaf binder has
been set up in the City Clerk's Office in which summaries of
minutes of the meetings of the Committee will be kept for
your personal use. The attached summary describes four (4)
action items (item #4) including presentation to Council of
possible approaches to land owners within the area under
consideration for annexation (see attached map). A list of
those property owners has been researched as well as a map
showing the respective parcels of land.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The final action items stated in the Summary do focus on
issues that reflect policy decision and direction.
Recommendation to Council would be to 1) Workshop these
issues and 2) as a result of the workshop direct staff to
prepare letters to land owners if appropriate.

1. James Wadsworth introduced comments about what this first
meeting might accomplish:
A. Determine role of this Committee (more than just fact-
finding - advisory to Council)
B. Determine what incentives to be made available to
existing property owners (of land to be annexed)
C. Determine a level of "study" appropriate for annexing
this land in order to comply with the agencies that will
review such a process (Treasure Coast, DCA, etc.)
2. Discussion of what specifics the City will be responsible for:
services, environmental issues, etc.
3. Discussed approach to the annexation:
A. Set "ground rules" for what agreements the City would make
with landowners:*
A.1 - 5 year City tax deferment for existing business
A,2 - 5-7 year deferment for vacant property
A.3 - Should property be developed or change hands during
this period the deferment is voided
* This is the Committee's recommended approach, to be
brought up at the next Council Meeting (probably
under Councilman McCollum's matters)
With Council approval the Committee would contact
property owners personally (rather than letter, etc.)
4. Final Action:
A. Present recommendation to Council
B. Peter Jones to get final determination of property owners
(in area of proposed annexation)
C. Review service issues (i.e., Police Chief to help, etc.)
D. Parallel to this formulate City "policy" for this and
future annexations
