PURPOSE

In order to proceed with annexation of the Magpie Property (the "Property"), the Council must conduct a public hearing, approve a resolution for annexation eligibility, and complete the first reading of the annexation ordinance. Annexation is regulated by the Colorado Revised Statutes and is a four step process with the steps as follows:
1.) Petition for annexation accepted by City Council in a substantial compliance resolution;
2.) City Council issues findings of fact in an annexation eligibility resolution;
3.) First reading of an annexation ordinance with a public hearing; and
4.) Second reading of an annexation ordinance (an annexation agreement may be approved by resolution at this time).

A Petition for Annexation (the "Petition") was accepted by the City Council at a regular meeting held on July 5, 2022, and the City Council found that the Petition was in substantial compliance with the applicable laws of the State of Colorado. See the attached City Council Resolution 2022-78 for further information. In Resolution 2022-78, City Council set the public hearing for this annexation for August 16, 2022.

City Council must now hold a public hearing and make a determination on a resolution for annexation eligibility and on the first reading of an annexation ordinance.
