MEMORANDUM:
TO: Village Council
/ _ .
FROM: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager ��6�
DATE: January 4, 1994
SUBJECT Resolution No. 6-93/94 - Opposinq Legislation that Would
Eliminate the New Option to Annex Certain Enclaves by
Interlocal Aqreement; Agenda Item
Apparently, there is a move afoot in Tallahassee by numerous State
Legislators to pass legislation eliminating the new provisions
given to municipalities to annex certain enclaves by way of
Interlocal Agreement with the applicable county in question. Based
upon our preliminary analysis, there appear to be three or four
parcels of land within Tequesta's Reserve Annexation Area which
could utilize the current procec�ures. Nevertheless, municipalities
are long overdue in receiving consideration from the State
Legislature to facilitate annexation in order to efficiently and
effectively deliver necessary public services to the community-at-
large.
Some legislators are claiming that they were unaware of these
provisions in the legislation which was adopted in 1993. The truth
is they probably failed to fully predict the reaction of impacted
unincorporated residents. We should fight any effort to .usurp
annexation powers granted to municipalities and should seek
additional powers to facilitate effective and economical public
services by municipal corporations, that unit of government closest
to the people.
It is recommended that the Village Council adopt this Resolution.
