Report of City Staff: Stuart Campbell; b. Public Comment; c. Council Action: Close Public Hearing and Act on M&C) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Conduct public hearing for the proposed owner -initiated annexation of approximately 18.49 acres of land in Denton County, known as the Whitacre Tract, located north of Old Denton Road and west of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road, as shown on Exhibit A; 2. Authorize execution of municipal services agreement between the City of Fort Worth and property owners, AIL Investment, LP; and 3. Adopt ordinance annexing the property described in AX -23-010 for full purposes D I I1 1[e]F On November 15, 2023, representatives for the property owners AIL Investment, LP, submitted a request for full -purpose annexation of the property shown on Exhibit A into the City of Fort Worth (City). The subject property is located entirely in that portion of the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction which is in Denton County. The site is located north of Old Denton Road and west of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road. The owner -initiated annexation, which is approximately 18.49 acres, is part of an enclave. Annexation of this site is consistent with the urban development annexation criteria as established by the City's Annexation Policy of being development that will require water, sewerage and other municipal services to promote public health, safety and welfare. The subject area is currently agricultural and vacant land. The property owner proposes the site for industrial development. The proposed land use is inconsistent with the future land use map of the 2023 Comprehensive Plan. Per Subdivision Ordinance, Section 31-2(b)(1), the City Plan Commission is required to study and make a recommendation on proposals for voluntary annexations that are inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. On January 24, 2024, the City Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the inconsistent land uses proposed in annexation case AX -23-010. The 2023 Comprehensive Plan identifies the future land use for this site as Light Industrial. The City Plan Commission recommends a change the future land use map for this site, from "Light Industrial" to "Industrial Growth Center". The proposed development is compatible with current surrounding land uses, but not consistent with the future land use. The related zoning case (ZC-23-189) was heard by the Zoning Commission on February 14, 2024. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the requested zoning district of "K" Heavy Industrial. This related zoning case is on this March 26, 2024 City Council agenda for consideration. The site is currently in the City's Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN). Furthermore, this site is also located within one of the City's 20 - year Planned Service Areas. Subchapter C-3 of Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC) provides for the process of annexation of an area upon a request of an owner of land. Section 43.0672 of the LGC requires a municipality that elects to annex an area upon the request of an owner first negotiate and enter into a written agreement with the owners of land in the area for the provision of municipal services. The agreement must include: 1. A list of each service the municipality will provide on the effective date of the annexation; and 2. A schedule that includes the period within which the municipality will provide each service that is not provided on the effective date of the annexation. The municipal services agreement includes these provisions in accordance with state law. Emergency services will be provided through the City of Fort Worth. The City's Fire Department will provide emergency and fire protection services comparable with the provision of services available in other parts of the municipality with topography, land use and population density similar to be the level of service contemplated or projected in the area. Emergency medical services will be provided by City's Fire Department and MedStar or other entity engaged by the City. The City's Police Department will provide protection and law enforcement services. The proposed uses were considered while assessing the financial impact to the General Fund. A fiscal impact analysis was prepared by the Fort Worth Lab with the assistance of other City Departments. City tax revenue is expected to have a positive fiscal impact over the next ten years after the proposed development has been built. Based on the operating costs projected from the Police, Code Compliance and Transportation and Public Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows a slightly negative effect to the General Fund for the first year, but will have a positive impact thereafter. Therefore, due to the ability of the area to meet the City's criteria for full -purpose annexation staff recommends approval of the requested owner -initiated annexation, AX -23-010. The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the proposed annexation. The public hearing is an opportunity for persons interested in the annexation to be heard. Once the City Council has conducted the required public hearing, Council may close the hearing and vote on annexing AX - 23 -010 for full purposes. If annexed, this property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 10.

Collaborative efforts with other departments aim to improve future cost estimates, particularly with the help of FWLab. Costs to the City include maintenance, construction, and reconstruction of public streets, parkland operation costs, stormwater maintenance, emergency services, environmental quality, animal control, and water department extensions. Estimate Year Total Revenue Total Expenditures Cumulative Total Net Year 5 $524,551.86 $70,235.90 $310,786.78 Year 10 $1,048,201.01 $147,198.58 $829,652.13 Year15 $1,571,850.16 $235,903.13 $1,348,517.48 Year 20 $2,095,499.31 $230,091.71 $1,867,382.83 Year40 $4,190,095.91 $813,693.45 $3,942,844.23 Expenditures: Anticipated future City expenditures include maintenance and reconstruction of public streets, parkland operational costs, stormwater management, emergency services, environmental quality, and animal control operations. Note that Water Department revenues and City cost participation for Water Department extensions are not factored into these calculations. The costs are expected to increase with development and infrastructure aging, impacting annual revenue requirements to maintain infrastructure and provide City services. Revenues: After completing the proposed development project, the City anticipates an estimated annual property tax revenue of $104,729, reaching a cumulative total of $3,942,844 within forty years, assuming no changes in value or tax rates. Applicable Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies: Several Comprehensive Plan policies guide the proposed annexation, emphasizing industrial development in specific growth areas, locating large industrial uses strategically, and protecting significant industrial districts. Land Use Recommendation: The proposed Industrial Growth Center land use is relatively consistent with the adopted Light Industrial Future Land Use designation. However, to improve consistency further, FWLab recommends amending the Future Land Use Map to designate the property as an Industrial Growth Center during the next Comprehensive Plan update. Overall Recommendation: 3 February 26, 2024 Anticipated positive impacts on the General Fund after construction support the staff recommendation to consider the Whitacre Tract for annexation. Staff further recommends adopting amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to align with the proposed use of the land that would be annexed. 4 February 26, 2024 EXISTING CONDITIONS Approximately 18.49 acres of land north of Old Denton Road and west of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road. Property Description is in Denton County and approximately a quarter of a mile from I-35 West. This site is an addition to the Alliance Town Center Development which is located north of this site and is designated as an Industrial Growth Center. Request Type Full Purpose Annexation Development Agreement No. Council District 10 Existing Land Use Residential Acreage and Vacant. Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Light Industrial. Floodplain No. Current & Proposed Zoning Current -- Agricultural Proposed -- Heavy Industrial (K) Included in Planned Service Area Yes — Far North East Enclave Yes. Planning Sector Far North ROW No. Concept Plan No. Preliminary Plat No Final Plat No. Independent School District Northwest ISD. 5 February 26, 2024 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CONSISTENCY The adopted 2023 Comprehensive Plan designates the proposed annexation area as Light Industrial on the City's Future Land Use Map. The annexation application for the property proposes Industrial use as an addition to the Alliance Airport Industrial Growth Center immediately north of the site. The proposed (K) Heavy Industrial zoning and use within the annexation area is currently inconsistent with the adopted Future Land Use Map. While the annexation proposal retains the industrial land use type identified in the Comprehensive Plan, the proposal seeks to change the land use to be included in the Industrial Growth Center to the north of the site. Given the developing industrial uses in the immediate area, the proposed land use and designation is compatible with the surrounding uses, both existing and currently planned. Staff recommends amending the Future Land Use Map in the Comprehensive Plan to designate the property as an Industrial Growth Center where the corresponding industrial use is proposed. The Future Land Use Maps below show the currently adopted designations for the area, as well as staffs proposed changes to the Future Land Use Map to bring the map into alignment with the proposed land uses. 6 February 26, 2024 Adopted Future Land Use: Light Industrial Subject Property V F,. ..yww — Nri�rrs Proposed Future Land Use: ■ Industrial Growth Center EJ Subject Property 7 February 26, 2024 WATER DEPARTMENT As of February 20, 2024, there has been no pre -development conference or submission of a water -sewer review for the proposed annexation area. The comments provided are based on assumptions made by the Water Department staff, particularly in anticipation of an industrial land use development. The Water Department staff envisions the developer installing approximately 2,400 linear feet of public water infrastructure to cater to the site's needs. Additionally, it is expected that around 2,000 linear feet of public sewer infrastructure, to be constructed by the developer, will be required to serve both the proposed annexation area and adjacent properties. Notably, the developer must secure a new point discharge permit from the Trinity River Authority to facilitate the connection and extension of sewer lines from the existing IRA 27 -inch sewer collector line. The Water Department has formally requested the developer to promptly submit a water -sewer load application for thorough review at their earliest convenience. This step is crucial to ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and facilitating the seamless integration of water and sewer services for the proposed development and surrounding properties. 1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan, Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Proposal aligns with the City Comprehensive Plan. The proposed annexation aligns with the Water Department Water and Sewer Master Plans regarding land use. 2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? This annexation is not expected to significantly impact KPIs for the maintenance of water and sewer assets. The cumulative impacts of all annexations on maintenance -related KPIs over time will be more significant. Utility management does not anticipate a need for additional water/sewer capital improvements in this annexation area for the foreseeable future. 3. Department Recommendation: Water Department supports annexation request. Estimated Cumulative Expenditures and Revenues 5 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years J40 Years Operations I $36,875 $79,623 $135,923 $193,373 $530,446 Capital - - - - - Personnel - - - - - Maintenance - - - 3 - Departmental Review Comments — Expenditures: There are no anticipated water -sewer capital improvement expenditures in relation to this proposed annexation. 5 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years 40 Years Revenue $214,653 $440,255 $677,365 $926,570 $2,057,162 Departmental Review Comments — Revenues: Revenues based on 400,000 square foot industrial building with one 2 -inch retail meter and one 1 -inch irrigation meter February 26, 2024 TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS - STORMWATER Given the provided information, it is anticipated that the proposed development will result in an augmentation of storm infrastructure assets. The estimate suggests the installation of 12 new storm inlets and approximately 4,743 linear feet of storm sewer pipes as integral components of this light industrial development. Consequently, the Stormwater Division foresees a rise in maintenance costs based on the most reliable information currently accessible. It's important to note that future expenses are contingent upon the actual development of the area, subject to the permits granted by the City's Development Department. The accuracy of projections relies heavily on the specific details and scale of the development as it progresses within the parameters set by the City authorities. Continuous collaboration and communication with the Development Department will be crucial in refining and updating these estimates as the project advances. 1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? The annexation will increase future maintenance costs and staff time required for the estimated storm system infrastructure associated with this development. Additional staff may be required to maintain existing service levels when the cumulative impacts of all annexations are considered. 2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? Following the development, this particular annexation is not expected to significantly impact KPIs for the estimated increase in the storm system infrastructure assets. The cumulative impacts of all annexations on maintenance -related KPls may be more significant. Stormwater management does not anticipate a need for stormwater capital improvements in this annexation area for the foreseeable future. Therefore, no impact to our capital delivery key performance indicators is expected at this time. 3. Recommendation: Stormwater supports this annexation since the revenue is expected to be higher than the anticipated combined capital expenses and maintenance expenses, assuming that the new development will be built per the City's and FEMA's drainage regulations and standards. Estimated Cumulative Expenditures and Revenues IimrHI LWlii1fli i i Infrastructure 5 Years 10 Years 15 Years 20 Years 40 Years Operation & Maintenance 12 Inlets and 4,743 Linear Feet of Pipe $6,383.65 $13,599.95 $21,648.90 $ 30,530.50 II $43,103.48 Departmental Review Comments — Revenue: 9 February 26, 2024 TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC WORKS - ROADS AND STREETS Old Denton Road appears to be prescriptive and built to county standards.

List policies from department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan, Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Old Denton road is not part of the Master Thoroughfare Plan and maintenance will require a joint effort between the county and the city based upon ownership. 2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? not provided. 3. Department Recommendation: Supportive. 10 February 26, 2024 POLICE DEPARTMENT The Police Department has projected demand for service based on the best information currently available. Future expenses are highly dependent on the expected uses, density level, transportation infrastructure, and timing of development. Operational, Capital, and Personnel expenses are unknown at this time and are dependent on if a new patrol division, additional personnel (patrol officers, neighborhood police officers, communications staff, etc.), or a new facility is necessary. Once the property is fully developed, call load is estimated to be approximately 1-2 calls a year. The average cost per call is $710 per officer. Based on the assumption that at least two officers will respond to a call, $1,420 per call is used to calculate the cost of service. The average annual cost of service for this development is estimated to be $1,420 - $2,840 for light industrial. Estimated expenditures assume that there are 2 calls per year and two officers responding to each call. An inflation rate of 3% was used to calculate the expenditures. Expenditures are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. 1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan, Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Additional calls for service will increase operational needs for the Police Department. As the land is developed, the Police Department will continue to evaluate call loads to determine whether a new patrol division, additional personnel (patrol officers, neighborhood police officers, communications staff, etc.), or a new facility is necessary. 2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? Once the property is fully developed, Priority 1, 2, and 3 response times could increase for North Division, Police Beat F12, Police Reporting Area O320 depending on the expected uses, density level, transportation infrastructure, and timing of development. 3.

February 26, 2024 Fire Department Response Time Comments: • Fire and EMS first responder services will be dispatched from existing Fire Station 35, located at 2201 Flight Line Road, to the proposed annexation. Current Fire Department response time goal is to arrive on the scene of emergencies within five minutes from the time of dispatch at 75% of the time. Based on the existing fire stations located close to this proposed annexation area, the Fire Department will not be able to meet this response time goal. Fire Department Incidents Comments: • 2022 produced 131 incidents for the area within one half mile of the proposed annexation (not including the area of the proposed annexation itself). Based on a comparison of the area of the buffer to the area of the annexation, the estimated annual count of incidents in the annexation is 40. • The estimated cost of an additional incident is $968. Multiplied by 40 incidents, the total additional annual cost of responding to the annexation is estimated to be $38,720. However, once the area becomes more fully developed or if zoning for the area changes, this number will need to be adjusted. • Basic Life Support (BLS) emergency medical services by existing personnel and equipment of the Fort Worth Fire Department will be provided to the annexation area commencing on the effective date of the annexation. The Fort Worth Fire Department serves as the first responder on life threatening medical emergencies as a part of the MedStar system. All Fort Worth Fire Department personnel are certified as Emergency Medical Technician basic level or higher. All engines, trucks, and rescue units carry Automated External Defibrillators for use with victims who are in cardiac arrest. 13 February 26, 2024 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES The proposed annexation of an area can have significant implications for Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Adequate planning and communication are crucial to address potential challenges and maintain the effectiveness of EMS operations during and after the annexation process. 1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan, Neighborhood Plan, etc.): MedStar's goal is to meet or exceed the needs of Fort Worth growth through annexation. These costs and potential revenues are based on the current Citywide expenses per capita, multiplied by the population projected when the annexation is fully developed and populated. 2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? It is anticipated that costs for providing services to this area, at the 2023 service level, will exceed revenues generated from patient service fees by an estimated $233.23 per capita, and may require alternate funding sources to meet expenses related to the desired service level for this annexed area. 3. Department Recommendation: Proceed with Annexation if it meets the growth objectives of the City of Fort Worth, with the knowledge that EMS funding sources, beyond patient services fees, may be required to maintain desired service levels.

The average cost per call is $100 per officer. The average annual cost of service for this development is estimated to be $2000. Estimated expenditures assume that there are 20 calls per year. 1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan, Neighborhood Plan, etc.): Animal Control responds to all animal related calls for service including wildlife concerns/informational requests. This annexation will increase calls for service regarding wildlife but it's estimated of a >1% increase of calls for service concerning wildlife and an estimated >1% for all other animal related calls for service. Additional calls for service will increase operational needs. As the land is developed, Animal Control will continue to evaluate call loads to determine whether additional personnel are needed. 2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? May increase response times for the entire district due to location being further away from the majority of calls for service within the district, travel time, and proper investigation of all calls required. Once the property is fully developed, Priority 1, 2, and 3 response times could increase. 3. Department Recommendation: Support Annexation.

Consequently, there is no anticipated impact on Solid Waste. No expenditure or revenue expected. 18 February 26, 2024 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 1. How does this proposal align with your department's plans and policies? List policies from department's plan that this annexation proposal supports (Strategic Plan, Master Plan, Neighborhood Plan, etc: The proposed industrial and undeveloped land use is expected to have a moderate service need from our division. Grading and land disturbance will be subject to the grading permitting process and subsequent inspections. After development, the industrial nature of the proposed development will require regular stormwater inspections. However, current staffing is sufficient to complete these duties. Both inspection types are documented in Chapter 4 of the Environmental Master Plan. As the majority of the site will be developed, it is not expected to be significantly impacted by illegal dumping and other nuisances. 2. How will this proposal affect your key performance indicators? Once development begins, the number of routine investigations for the Water Quality team included in KPI CC.5.2 would increase. However, current staffing is sufficient to complete these during authorized timelines. Therefore, this proposal is not expected to negatively impact this key performance indicator. 3.

Depending on the development's tax generation over time, the annual revenue needed to maintain infrastructure and services to the development may be strained to cover costs associated with the development. Future costs to the City include: o Maintenance, construction, and eventual reconstruction of public streets within the development o Mowing, forestry, and operational costs for parkland a Stormwater operation and maintenance o Police, Fire, and EMS services o Environmental quality operational costs and code compliance operations o Animal control operations o Water Department will extend service through cost participation as needed. Revenues • Following completion of the proposed development project, total City property tax revenue is estimated to be $104,729 per year with a cumulative total of $3,942,844 within forty years (assuming no change in value or tax rate). Applicable Comprehensive Plan Land Use Policies The following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to the proposed annexation: 1. Promote industrial development within the Meacham, Alliance, and Alliance Gateway East Industrial Growth Centers. 2. Locate large industrial uses along freight rail lines, highways, or airports within Industrial Growth Centers and other appropriate locations. 3. Ensure protection for other significant industrial districts with concentrations of manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing businesses that generate heavy truck traffic. February 26, 2024 Land Use Recommendation The proposed Industrial land use is relatively consistent with the adopted Light Industrial Future Land Use designation. However, the proposed Industrial Growth Center designation is more appropriate as an expansion of the Alliance Airport Industrial Growth Center given its adjacency and similar pattern of land uses. If the City Council approves this proposed annexation, FWLab staff recommends amending the Future Land Use Map to designate the property as Industrial Growth Center. If the property is annexed, FWLab will propose these map amendments during the next Comprehensive Plan update. Overall Recommendation Annual impacts on the General Fund are expected to be positive following construction, based on the information provided by departments and the developer. Due to the ability of the area to meet the City's criteria for full -purpose annexation, staff recommends that the Whitacre Tract be considered for annexation at this time. Further, staff recommends that the above amendments be adopted to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. 23 City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE: 03/26/24 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 24-0231 LOG NAME: 06AX-23-010 WHITACRE TRACT — OWNER INITIATATED SUBJECT (Future CD 10) Conduct Public Hearing, Authorize Execution of Municipal Services Agreement and Consider Adopting Ordinance for the Proposed Owner -Initiated Annexation of Approximately 18.49 Acres of Land in Denton County, Known as the Whitacre Tract, Located North of Old Denton Road and West of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road, in the Far North Planning Sector, AX -23-010 (PUBLIC HEARING - a. Report of City Staff: Stuart Campbell; b. Public Comment; c. Council Action: Close Public Hearing and Act an M&C) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Conduct public hearing for the proposed owner -initiated annexation of approximately 18.49 acres of land in Denton County, known as the Whitacre Tract, located north of Old Denton Road and west of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road, as shown on Exhibit A; 2. Authorize execution of municipal services agreement between the City of Fort Worth and property owners, AIL Investment, LP; and 3. Adopt ordinance annexing the property described in AX -23-010 for full purposes DISCUSSION: On November 15, 2023, representatives for the property owners AIL Investment, LP, submitted a request for full -purpose annexation of the property shown on Exhibit A into the City of Fort Worth (City). The subject property is located entirely in that portion of the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction which is in Denton County. The site is located north of Old Denton Road and west of Elizabethtown Cemetery Road. The owner -initiated annexation, which is approximately 18.49 acres, is part of an enclave. Annexation of this site is consistent with the urban development annexation criteria as established by the City's Annexation Policy of being development that will require water, sewerage and other municipal services to promote public health, safety and welfare. The subject area is currently agricultural and vacant land. The property owner proposes the site for industrial development. The proposed land use is inconsistent with the future land use map of the 2023 Comprehensive Plan. Per Subdivision Ordinance, Section 31-2(b)(1), the City Plan Commission is required to study and make a recommendation on proposals for voluntary annexations that are inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. On January 24, 2024, the City Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the inconsistent land uses proposed in annexation case AX -23-010. The 2023 Comprehensive Plan identifies the future land use for this site as Light Industrial. The City Plan Commission recommends a change the future land use map for this site, from "Light Industrial" to "Industrial Growth Center'. The proposed development is compatible with current surrounding land uses, but not consistent with the future land use. The related zoning case (ZC-23-189) was heard by the Zoning Commission on February 14, 2024. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the requested zoning district of "IC" Heavy Industrial. This related zoning case is on this March 26, 2024 City Council agenda for consideration. The site is currently in the City's Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN). Furthermore, this site is also located within one of the City's 20 - year Planned Service Areas. Subchapter C-3 of Chapter 43 of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC) provides for the process of annexation of an area upon a request of an owner of land. Section 43.0672 of the LGC requires a municipality that elects to annex an area upon the request of an owner first negotiate and enter into a written agreement with the owners of land in the area for the provision of municipal services. The agreement must include: .1. A list of each service the municipality will provide on the effective date of the annexation; and 2. A schedule that includes the period within which the municipality will provide each service that is not provided on the effective date of the annexation. The municipal services agreement includes these provisions in accordance with state law. Emergency services will be provided through the City of Fort Worth. The City's Fire Department will provide emergency and fire protection services comparable with the provision of services available in other parts of the municipality with topography, land use and population density similar to be the level of service contemplated or projected in the area. Emergency medical services will be provided by City's Fire Department and MedStar or other entity engaged by the City. The City's Police Department will provide protection and law enforcement services. The proposed uses were considered while assessing the financial impact to the General Fund. A fiscal impact analysis was prepared by the Fort \ Worth Lab with the assistance of other City Departments. City tax revenue is expected to have a positive fiscal impact over the next ten years after the proposed development has been built. Based on the operating costs projected from the Police, Code Compliance and Transportation and Public Works Departments, the fiscal impact shows a slightly negative effect to the General Fund for the first year, but will have a positive impact thereafter. Therefore, due to the ability of the area to meet the City's criteria for full -purpose annexation staff recommends approval of the requested owner -initiated annexation, AX -23-010. The City Council will conduct a public hearing on the proposed annexation. The public hearing is an opportunity for persons interested in the annexation to be heard. Once the City Council has conducted the required public hearing, Council may close the hearing and vote on annexing AX - 23 -010 for full purposes. If annexed, this property will become part of COUNCIL DISTRICT 10. FISCAL INFORMATION 1 CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that based upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached ordinance, the annexation will have a long-term positive impact to the General Fund.
