linked to cancer and other fatal diseases; and
WHEREAS, the staff analysis published for House Bill (HB) 105 references studies from United Health
Foundation, America’s Health Rankings, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and others regarding
the impact that smoking has on the health of citizens; and

tobacco products or smoke that is exhaled by a tobacco smoker; and

DATE: 2/9/2023
SUBJECT: Annexation Fee Moratorium Extension
BACKGROUND:
Voluntary Annexation is the process of incorporating property, at the owners’ request, into a city’s
jurisdictional boundary. The State has a number of requirements regarding the land that can be annexed,
including contiguity to the City’s boundary line, compactness, and service availability timelines.
DISCUSSION:
Previous fee moratoriums have proven to be successful at creating an opportunity for property owners to annex
into the City. It provided unique opportunities to annex properties into the City that then developed or are
planned to be developed. It also provided an opportunity to clean up some of the multiple enclaves that exist.
Staff would like to continue to provide for these beneficial opportunities.
Potential increases in annual tax base revenue streams can serve to curtail any initial “out-of-pocket”
expenditure from the City in its provision of staff time and public notice. We have seen a positive result from
this waiver in its contribution to the reduction of the millage rate for the upcoming budget year.
This is the same request as the previous successful waivers.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
This item is consistent with the goals in A New View Strategic Plan 2020 as follows.
Foundational – these are the four areas of focus that make up the necessary foundation of a successful local
government.
Financial Sustainability – Achieve long term financial sustainability.
Organizational Capacity, Effectiveness & Efficiency – To efficiently & effectively provide the highest
quality of public services.
Communication – To engage, inform and educate public and staff.
Quality of Life – these six areas focus on the overall experience when provided by the city.
Community Character – Promote desirable growth with a hometown atmosphere.
Opportunity – Promote an environment that encourages economic and educational opportunity.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Page 20 of 39
Financial impact is dependent upon the number of voluntary annexation applications submitted within the
specified moratorium time frame.
Staff review indicated approximately 10 hours of staff time required for each annexation, and the cost of public
notice, which could total approximately $1,000.00. When considering the benefits of annexation and the
potential tax revenue, especially in areas where City services are currently available, the return on initial
investment could be seen as soon as the first year following the annexation.
The successful annexation of this property will have positive future impacts, including ad valorem revenue
based on future taxable assessed value, development and building permit fees, and utility usage fees.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully requests a motion to adopt Resolution 2023-6.
