Whereas, the collective membership of the Jeffersonville City
Council share the common goal to take those actions necessary to
ensure that the taxpayers and citizens of Jeffersonville are best served
by government.
Whereas, the City Council understands the importance of
planning for change and supports the city's effort to foster reasonable
growth of the city. The Jeffersonville City Council believes that the
Mayor and all other elected officials. share in that same goal.
Whereas, the City of Jeffersonville has a new Mayor as well as
new City Council members for the 2008 thru 2011 term.
Whereas, the issue of annexation of 9,000 residents and
thousands of parcels of real estate is of historic importance.
Whereas, the City Council, Mayor and Clerk Treasurer elected
and serving during the 2008 thru 2011 term will be responsible and
obligated to provide services to these newly annexed areas.
Whereas, it seems unreasonable for the past Mayor and City
Council to require the new City: Council members, Mayor and Clerk
Treasurer to undertake this annexation without first allowing them the
opportunity to determine if they believe that the city can adequately
provide those city services during their tenure.
Now therefore be it resolved that: The present City Council,
feels more time and energy needs to be devoted to the study of the
impact of this large of annexation. Therefore by passage of this
resolution we wish to repeal 2007-OR-10.
So Resolved this ~"~ day of ]anuary, 2008.
