ANNEXATION <br /> <br />The Eugene-Springfield Metro Plan establishes an urban growth boundary and envisions <br />that all land within the urban growth boundary ultimately will be annexed to a city and <br />provided with the required urban services. Annexations to Eugene are processed by the <br />Lane County Boundary Commission. In past legislative sessions, legislation has been <br />introduced to eliminate the Lane County boundary commissions and to eliminate or <br />weaken existing methods of annexation. <br /> <br /> State law currently requires that withdrawals of annexed territory from special service <br />districts be processed by a city separately from Boundary Commission action on the <br />annexation request, necessitating a separate city hearing and action following Boundary <br />Commission approval of an annexation. <br /> <br /> Recommendations: <br /> <br /> 1. Oppose legislation that eliminates the Lane County Boundary Commission or <br />eliminates or weakens existing methods of annexation. <br /> <br /> 2. Support legislation to allow withdrawal of territory from special service districts <br />to be processed by the Boundary Commission concurrent with its action on <br />Comment [JLC1]: <br />These items were <br />annexation requests. <br />flagged for full Council discussions. <br /> <br /> 5.
