Approving the withdrawal ordinance prior to March 31, <br />2011, will result in the withdrawals taking effect on July 1, 2011, and those properties being included on <br />the City tax roll immediately thereafter. Council action on the ordinance is scheduled for February 28, <br />2011. <br /> <br />Public notice of the hearing was published and posted as required by state law and local code <br />requirements, including notice to the affected special service districts. Based on previous years' <br />withdrawals, little or no public testimony is anticipated. Annexation of these properties was initiated by <br />the property owners, and public notice of annexation was provided. The inclusion of these properties on <br />City tax rolls, and withdrawal from special districts taxation was anticipated by the property owners and <br />by special districts as part of the annexation process. <br /> <br />Legal descriptions and maps (Exhibits 1 and 2) showing the location of each annexed property subject to <br />withdrawal are included in the council packet for the public hearing. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br /> <br />The approval criterion for withdrawal from public service districts following annexation is contained in <br />EC 9.7835, and corresponding statutory provisions at ORS 222.524, which require the council to find that <br />approval of the withdrawal is in the best interest of the city. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br />No action is required at this time; however, options will be provided at the time of City Council <br />deliberations and action scheduled for February 28, 2011. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br />As this is the public hearing for this item, no recommendation is suggested at this time.
