Council agrees to prepare fiscal plan before restarting annexation outreach
Summary
Councilors agreed to pause direct outreach and asked staff to prepare a fiscal plan that explains costs, timelines and service extensions before resending annexation letters to County Line Road and nearby property owners.
Planning staff told the council they cataloged current owners on County Line Road and nearby parcels and reported that many properties already receive water or sewer service. Staff and counsel emphasized that annexation requires a fiscal plan outlining town costs to extend services, anticipated tax/fee changes for property owners and a timetable for extending services (town policy requires services be granted within three years of annexation).
Councilors asked that the fiscal plan be prepared before renewed outreach so the town can present clear cost and timeline expectations to property owners; a motion to proceed with preparing the fiscal plan was moved and seconded and will guide the next steps, including outreach and the sequence of preliminary ordinance, public hearing and final vote.
