<br />Recognizing these challenges, the City is looking for ways to encourage greater property owner <br />support for annexation. This includes such incentives as adjustments in the tax rate for newly <br />annexed residents. The City Council approved such measures with the annexation of the Robert <br />Getty property last year. The council may wish to further discuss incentives such as this moving <br />forward. <br /> <br />Next Steps <br />Unless directed otherwise, staff will develop a plan of action, including a comprehensive <br />community engagement process and financial analysis, for council's consideration at a future <br />work session. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />Envision Eugene Pillar: Protect, Repair and Enhance Neighborhood Livability. <br />Strategy 4.
