Title
Consider Joint Resolution for Orderly Annexation with Greenvale Township for Water Tower Property.
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council approves the attached Resolution for Orderly Annexation with Greenvale Township.
Summary Report:
The City of Northfield purchased land from St. Olaf for the site of a future water tower that will serve the northwest area of the City. Timing for construction of the Water Tower is dependent on growth in that area of the City. The township approved the annexation agreement on April 20, 2023.
The Subject Area is described in Exhibit A and depicted in Exhibit B. Because the proposed annexation area is owned by the City, there will be no tax reimbursement to the township.
Alternative Options:
No alternatives are recommended at this time.
Financial Impacts:
There are no financial implications for the Orderly Annexation Agreement.
Tentative Timelines:
Once approved by both City Council, staff will file the Orderly Annexation Agreement with the Office of Administrative Hearings.
