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.
