II. REVIEW OF DRAFT URBAN SERVICES REPORT
Village Manager Bradford reviewed: On October 25, 1990,
Village Council approved the Annexation Policy Plan presented
to them and authorized staff to prepare an Urban Services
Report for anticipated annexation of Areas A (condominium
area at the northeast corner of, and south of, County Line
Road) and B (Waterway Village area behind Village Square
Shopping Center). This Report has been completed. Mr.
Bradford suggested that if a Referendum for March 12 is
planned for these two annexation areas, it would be necessary
to proceed now by presenting the Report to the County, then
have Ordinances for the First Reading at the net Council
meeting.
The Urban Services Report showing areas A and B, indicates
Tequesta's population and revenues estimated for areas A and
B, services to be provided to that area .(police, fire, water,
sewer, streets and drainage, recreation, and community
development).

III. RESOLIITION NO. 6-90/91 AIITHORIZING FILING OF THE IIRBAN
SERVICES REPORT WITH PALM BEACH COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Bradford stated that if Council is inclined to pursue this
matter, it would be necessary to adopt the above-referenced
Resolution to pursue a Referendum. However, his
recommendation to Council was not to pursue annexation at this
time for the following reasons:
o Feedback from people in Areas A and B regarding
annexation is not positive (7-1 against, in Waterway
Village).
Mr. Bradford suggested that an uphill battle should not be
taken on at this time, and more time should be spent (between
now and November) focusing more research on amortizing Village
Codes and providing new zonung districts for some of these
areas, and showing the people how it would be in their best
interests to join the Village of Tequesra.
o If annexation takes place in March, the Village would not
receive tax revenues from those annexed areas until FY
92.
Vice Mayor Mackail and Councilmember Howell concurred.
Councilmember Collings agreed a postponement was a better
choice at this time and expressed concern for anticipated
improvement costs in Waterway Village. Councilmember Burckart
pointed out that the County is doing an annexation policy in
February and felt it might be an assist to the Village and
agreed postponement was wise.
