SUBJECT:
A Resolution Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement Extension between the City of Aurora and the Village of North Aurora.
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.
