CITY ANNEXATION PROGRAM e Planning Director Susan Brody said the purpose of the meeting is to inform the City Council and the Planning Commission of the the proposed annexation program developed by a City Task Force. The program was detailed in a February 21,1986, memo to the Mayor, City Council, and Planning Commission from the Planning Department. The memo was attached to the agenda and its subject is "City Annexation Program Overview." She said no action is expected from the council and commission today. The City Council will consider adopting the annexation program after the councilors and commissioners have commented on it. A financial analysis of the costs of implementing the program and of the revenue that could be expected from the program will be presented to the council later. Discussing the background and policy direction for the program, Ms. Brody said the policy direction in the Metropolitan General Plan, the Urbanization Report, and the Urban Transition Policies indicate it is appropriate for the council to consider developing a coherent annexation program. She said the Metro Plan indicates that the cities should be the providers of urban services and that the annexation of industrial lands will be pursued. In addition, the council goals indicate that an annexation program is appropriate. She said the City does not have an annexation program now, although it does have a process for responding to annexation requests. e MINUTES--Eugene City Council February 26, 1986 Page 1
