TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Alex Minnella, Planner
DATE: June 24, 2020
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing and approving an amendment to the existing Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Aurora and the Village of Montgomery.
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 24, 2019 the City of Aurora approved a jurisdictional boundary agreement with the Village of Montgomery with resolution R2019-301. Both staffs from Aurora and the Village of Montgomery worked together to create the updated agreement, revised boundary map, and corresponding legal description.
DISCUSSION:
Recently, City staff was informed by Village staff that there was a slight error in the new IGA - three parcels that have historically been within Aurora's boundary, and which should have remained in our boundary, were not included in the legal description. Therefore, staff from both communities will be bringing a revision forward to their elected officials for review and approval to correct this error.
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 amended boundary agreement between the City of Aurora and the Village of Montgomery.
