MEMORANDUM
TO: Hon. Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Burt Levin
RE: McGrady Acres Annexation Public Hearing and Resolution
DATE: September, 20, 2001
Per Colorado statutes, a public hearing must be held on the petition for annexation of
McGrady Acres before the petition may be granted. The public hearing is set for
September 25 h.
Any person may appear at the hearing and present evidence upon, any matter to be
determined by the Council.
The matters to be determined by the Council are whether the land proposed to be annexed
is sufficiently contiguous with the Town and whether a community of interest exists
between the area proposed to be annexed and the Town. Staff s review of the petition
shows that the property involved is indeed eligible for annexation.
At the beginning of the public hearing I will make a brief introductory statement, and
then the Council may hear from the petitioner(s) and any member of the public.
Once the hearing is concluded the Council shall set forth its findings and conclusions. A
resolution has been prepared and is on the agenda setting forth findings that the
annexation petition complies with law and that the subject land is eligible for annexation.
