THE MOTION PASSED WITH A VOTE OF 6 FOR AND 0 AGAINST. 3. Agreement for Fire Services. Assistant City Manager Gino Grimaldi presented the staff report on this issue. The city of Springfield uses delayed effective date annexations for new development outside of the city limits in order to increase the city's tax base. An increase in the tax base is desired in order to provide a portion of the revenue needed to provide city services to the annexed areas. When delayed effective date annexations take place in areas that are not in a district that provides fire services, the proposed contract would guarantee these areas receive fire services. The proposed agreement will be between the city and the developer of the property to be annexed. The developer will be required to sign the agreement in order to proceed with the development. Once the agreement is signed the obligation to pay the contract amount is tied to the property. Failure to make payment will result in a lien on the property and ultimately foreclosure proceedings. Payment for services is established at a cost of $1,000 of value and is equivalent to the cost per $1,000 that current city residents pay for fire services. Council discussed the proposed agreement for fire services. IT WAS MOVED BY COUNCILOR BURGE, WITH A SECOND BY COUNCILOR SHAVER, TO AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS FOR FIRE SERVICES WITH DEVELOPERS OF DEVELOPMENTS WHICH ARE ANNEXED USING THE DELAYED EFFECTIVE DATE ANNEXATIONS METHOD.
