PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 368.11, Code 1999, is amended by adding
  1  2 the following new subsection:
  1  3    NEW SUBSECTION.  14.  Plans for extending municipal
  1  4 services to be provided by the annexing city to the annexed
  1  5 territory within three years of completion of the annexation
  1  6 process, which date is established pursuant to section 368.20.
  1  7    Sec. 2.  NEW SECTION.  368.25  FAILURE TO PROVIDE MUNICIPAL
  1  8 SERVICES.
  1  9    If a city fails to provide municipal services to territory
  1 10 involuntarily annexed within three years after the annexation
  1 11 process is completed, the city development board shall
  1 12 initiate proceedings to sever the annexed territory from the
  1 13 city.  A petition for severance filed pursuant to this section
  1 14 shall be filed and acted upon in the same manner as a petition
  1 15 under section 368.11.  For purposes of this section and
  1 16 section 368.11, subsection 14, "municipal services" includes,
  1 17 but is not limited to, water supply, sewer disposal, solid
  1 18 waste collection, and police and fire protection.
  1 19    Sec. 3.  APPLICABILITY.  This Act applies to annexations
  1 20 approved at an election held on or after the effective date of
  1 21 this Act, regardless of the date an annexation petition was
  1 22 filed.  
  1 23                           EXPLANATION
  1 24    This bill requires the city development board to initiate
  1 25 an action for severance of territory which had been
  1 26 involuntarily annexed to a city if the city fails to provide
  1 27 municipal services to the territory within three years of the
  1 28 date the annexation is completed.  A petition for severance
  1 29 filed by the board under these circumstances is to be acted
  1 30 upon in the same manner as an involuntary petition, and is
  1 31 subject to approval by the committee of board and local
  1 32 representatives and is subject to approval at an election.
  1 33    The bill also requires a city to include in its petition
  1 34 for involuntary annexation the city's plans for providing
  1 35 municipal services to territory proposed to be annexed.
  2  1    The bill applies to annexations approved at elections held
  2  2 on or after the effective date of this Act, regardless of the
  2  3 date the petitions were filed.
