SUMMARY
DATE: June 4, 2019
TO: Ronald L. Olson, City Manager
FROM: Ray Shanaa, Executive Director of Planning & Dev. Services
SUBJECT: Consider an ordinance annexing approximately 76.459 acres of land lying, being adjacent to 5601 Clear Creek Road, Killeen, Texas, and approving the annexation service plan.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
On March 14, 2019, the Planning and Development Services Department received a voluntary petition for annexation from Mr. Gary Purser Jr. The subject tract is comprised of 76.459 acres and is located adjacent to property addressed as 5601 Clear Creek Road, Killeen, Texas. The property is vacant, contiguous to current municipal city limits and is therefore exempt from a three year annexation plan. The owner, Gary Purser Jr. is making the request to have the property annexed into the corporate limits of Killeen.
On April 9th, the City Council decided to conduct public hearings and institute annexation proceedings, which included directing the City Manager to prepare a service plan providing for the extension of full municipal services to the area, by any method used to give services in any other area of city. The City Council conducted two (2) public hearings on May 7th and May 21st.
Staff provided the service plan to the City Council prior to the May 21st public hearing. Per Local Government Code (LGC) 43.064, the City Council may approve or disapprove the annexation ordinance and service plan at its June 11 meeting at the earliest.
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The City Council may approve or disapprove the annexation ordinance and service plan.
Which alternative is recommended? Why?
Staff has no recommendation on this annexation request.
CONFORMITY TO CITY POLICY:
The request for voluntary annexation conforms with state law.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
What is the amount of the expenditure in the current fiscal year? For future years?
There are no expenditures in the current fiscal year. The service plan details the fiscal impacts of the annexation from FY 2020 through FY 2025.
Is this a one-time or recurring expenditure?
Expenditures related to the extension of municipal services would be a recurring cost.
Is this expenditure budgeted?
It is not budgeted within the current fiscal year.
If not, where will the money come from?
Future expenditures will be incurred from the General Fund, Water & Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage and Street Maintenance funding sources.
Is there a sufficient amount in the budgeted line-item for this expenditure?
Fiscal projections (based on staff’s assumptions) indicate that there will be sufficient amounts that can be budgeted in the afore-mentioned funding sources.
