Annexation Policy Statement (Mike Hein Mike Hein stated that this represents the first large policy implementation to come out of the Council retreat (The Annexation Policy Statement), via the direction of the Mayor and Council. Staff has been instructed to create a statement and policy to guide annexations in the future. There are three criteria that staff, with Mayor and Council, will utilize as a guide in working with the community. · Willingness-to make sure the area being annex is willing · Cost benefit analysis -areas that have a positive cost benefit to the community · Service Delivery- square off boundaries and have a more recognizable outline. There may not be a cost benefit analysis bu~ there may be some other intangible benefit as far a community vision, unity and harmony regarding the community. Presently, the policy does not require the Council to take action on annexations until after a map and blank petition are filed. Council then has 30 days to hold a hearing. Staff is requesting the policy be formally changed to require Council direction prior to staff filing the blank petitions and maps. Roxanne Ziegler requested to see the cost benefit analys~s. Mike Hein stated that there hadn't been any active annexations for some time, but staff has been refining the model and will set up a group demonstration. Mike Reuwsaat was pleased to see a statement developed that will define the Town's policies and statements for the community to continue to follow. Because of the simplicity of the Annexation Policy Statement, it will definitely benefit our citizens, staff and Council in terms of how they proceed with future proposals. Mike Hein stated that this would also alleviate concerns of those citizens outside the Town limits. People within the community understand that the actions taken are based on a cost benefit analysis. Whereas, people outside the community may have different interest and concerns and not see the issue at hand.

A Class One misdemeanor is punishable with a maximum sentence of 6-months' imprisonment and up to a $25,000 or three years' probation or any combination. · An Abatement Program is also created whereby a property owner who has graffiti on the property has a period of time to paint over the graffiti. If the time given has lapsed the Town has the right to paint over the graffiti. · Prohibits anyone under 18 years of age from possessing spray paint or graffiti materials unless they are with an adult and their possession is for a legitimate purpose. · Commercial component for businesses - spray paint must be either locked up or in direct view of the cashier and may not be sold to anyone under the age of 18.
