the cheer academy the uh 419 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,320 ped amendment that you have 420 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,880 that is written frustrating tonight the 421 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,199 area behind that is another large island 422 00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:50,800 um there are others too but i'll i'll 423 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,959 stop at that but i mean but basically 424 00:16:52,959 --> 00:16:56,959 they have to almost request we can't 425 00:16:56,959 --> 00:16:59,279 clean things up so to speak for our 426 00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:00,560 policy we have not 427 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,400 um investigated there is or at least 428 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,679 used to be i haven't 429 00:17:05,679 --> 00:17:07,760 verified an annexation law relative to 430 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,000 this in recent years but there used to 431 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,319 be a provision that if you entirely 432 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:14,720 surround a property that you have the 433 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:15,919 ability 434 00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:18,480 um to annex it about the consent of the 435 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,600 property owners 436 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,520 however you have to bring it up to 437 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,520 current city standards so when we look 438 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,120 at subdivisions and i use winding 439 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:26,559 markets for example 440 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:28,559 it's financially not feasible for us to 441 00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:30,640 annex it because we can 442 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,039 without their agreement on a compromise 443 00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:34,559 on how what services would 444 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:37,039 be provided and particularly i'm talking 445 00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:38,559 about the roads so the roads no 446 00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:39,679 sidewalks 447 00:17:39,679 --> 00:17:42,080 um ripping up for utilities there's a 448 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,760 whole lot millions of dollars of work 449 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,600 that doesn't make it financially 450 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,280 feasible or desirable 451 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,520 to annex it to bring it into the city 452 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,880 without their 453 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,360 consent so if they were to annex by all 454 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:54,720 means we would consider it 455 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,679 and take it on its merits but barring 456 00:17:57,679 --> 00:17:59,440 that if we were to 457 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,640 do it by the surrounding provision that 458 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,120 is the cost-prohibitive nature of 459 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,520 annexation 460 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,240 okay thank you thank you any other 461 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,160 questions for mr prince 462 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,360 mr hazen so if they ask me 463 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,679 still have to bring them up to code our 464 00:18:19,679 --> 00:18:20,799 standards 465 00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:22,799 no we then have the opportunity to 466 00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:24,799 negotiate with them on what that 467 00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:26,799 standard would be 468 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:28,960 again state law is not awarded you know 469 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,480 black and white terms but that press 470 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,760 every circumstance 471 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,440 so by the loose term of bringing it up 472 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,440 to city standards you can imagine if i'm 473 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,720 sitting in the subdivision i don't want 474 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,679 to be annexed 475 00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:39,440 i want the absolute highest grade 476 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,200 standard that i can possibly do and i'll 477 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,320 point to the 478 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,160 half dozen subdivisions that have that 479 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,520 in the city and say that's the 480 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,679 comparable standard that you should bring our solution to 481 00:18:49,679 --> 00:18:50,480 whereas if they're 482 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,160 voluntarily requesting it let's say they 483 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,480 need sewer then we have a basis of 484 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,919 working with them because there's many 485 00:18:55,919 --> 00:18:57,280 areas of the city that don't have the 486 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,440 same streets and sidewalks and 487 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,669 the light that we can work in 488 00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:07,830 thank you other questions for mr krauts 489 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,760 thank you sir thank you 490 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,880 are there any other
