TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Alex Minnella, Planner
DATE: October 20, 2020
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing and approving an extension of the existing Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Aurora and the Village of Plainfield
PURPOSE:
The purpose of approving boundary agreements with neighboring municipalities allows each respective community to adequately plan for future growth, and fund necessary improvements in anticipation of meeting the needs of properties being annexed in the future. Development can then be based upon sound financial, land use and transportation planning.
BACKGROUND:
On September 13, 2000 the City of Aurora approved a jurisdictional boundary agreement with the Village of Plainfield with ordinance O2000-091 which has expired. Both staffs from Aurora and the Village of Plainfield worked together to create the updated agreement, a boundary map, and corresponding legal description.
DISCUSSION:
The boundary line as drawn in the agreement set forth is primarily the same line as from the 2000 agreement. The proposed boundary agreement gives both municipalities the opportunity to clearly define maintenance responsibilities spelled out in the actual jurisdictional boundary agreement; exhibit C. The City of Aurora will have the ability to annex the parcels north of the boundary line.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Staff would anticipate that this project will increase the City's overall tax base, by facilitating investment and development, which will offset any incidental Department or staffing impacts. Additionally, certain impacts will be augmented by the applicable Impact Fees.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the extended boundary agreement between the City of Aurora and the Village of Plainfield.
