INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to provide the City of Jeffersonville with the information
needed to make a sound decision regarding the possible annexation of Annexation Area
6. It does not recommend for or against annexation, but provides an objective analysis
of the financial and other impacts of annexing Area 6. The incorporation of Annexation
Area 6 into the City of Jeffersonville will require the provision of services in a manner
equivalent in standard and scope to services now provided in comparable parts of the
City. This report analyzes the impact that Area 6's annexation will have on various city
services and outlines a plan for providing pertinent services. To this end, the study
serves as the City's written fiscal plan and annexation policy requirements to be included
in any resolution of the Common Council related to the annexation of Area 6. Such a
plan and policy are necessary to meet State statutory requirements.
LOCATION
Annexation Area 6 is located adjacent to the northeast part of Jeffersonville and extends
east to the western boundary line of Grant 23. Map 1, which follows this page, shows
the boundaries of this 229+ acre area. Area 6 is located within the eastern portion of
Grant 22 of Jeffersonville Township. It should be noted that the City's ordinance
pertaining to the annexation of Area 6 should contain a legal description of the area.
METHOD OF ANNEXATION
The City of Jeffersonville may, by ordinance, annex territory that is contiguous to its
corPorate limits, PrOvided the annexation meets one of the following conditions:
At least 1/8 of the aggregate external boundaries of the territory sought to be
annexed must coincide with the existing boundaries of the City of Jeffersonville;
and that either:
Sixty percent (60%) of the territory is subdivided;
The resident population density of the territory sought to be annexed is
equal to at least three (3) persons per acre; or
The territory is zoned for commercial business or industrial use.

or
2. At least 1/4 of the aggregate extemal boundaries of the territory sought to be
annexed coincides with the boundaries of the City of Jeffersonville; and;
A. The territory sought to be annexed is needed and can be used by the City
of Jeffersonvilie for its development in the reasonable near future.
The proposed annexation of Area 6 will meet condition 2 which relates to the statutory
requirements of 1 C36-4-3-13(b). Therefore, the City of Jeffersonville retains the authority
to annex the proposed area pursuant to the provisions that it has a 1/8 contiguity
boundary and that it is needed and can be used in the future development of the City.
Conti,quity of Area
Annexation Area 6 meets the contiguity requirements of state law as 39.6% of its
boUndary coincides With the present corporate limits of the City of Jeffersonville.
Portion of Boundary Bordering City Limits
Portion of Boundary Not Bordering City Limits
6,350' (39.6%)
9,689' (60.4%)
TOTAL BOUNDARY - 16,039'
Annexation Need
The City of Jeffersonville needs to annex Area 6 to provide for a more manageable
corporate limits and to assure the orderly growth of the Area in a manner that will meet
the development needs of the City. Annexation Area 6 is located between the current city
limits and a major interstate interchange providing access to the eastern part of
Jeffersonvilie. Its annexation will connect the City to a major gateway or entrance to the
City. The City of Jeffersonville needs to annex and use Area 6 for its development in the
reasonably near future for reasons stated as follows:
2
the existing pattern of urban development along the Highway 62 Corridor indicates
such development will increase in Area 6;
the Jeffersonville Comprehensive Plan identifies Area 6 as one of several areas
having "the highest potential for development";
Area 6 offers the potential for mixed use developments with a full range of quality
retail, office, multi-family and business park uses;
the recently opened 1-265 interchange will greatly enhance development potentials
in the area;
Highway 62 which connects Jeffersonville with 1-265, runs through the middle of
Area 6.
the need for urban services is evident from the need to assist the County in
responding to police calls;
it is physically, socially and economically, but not legally, a part of the City;
over 39 percent (39.6%) of the Area now borders the City;
there is a need to assure that sufficient good land is available for development;
and
future development should be planned in an orderly manner that is consistent with
adjacent City developments and can be coordinated with the need for urban
services.
In summary, the annexation of Area 6 involves the needed process of "extending the City
limits to the limits of the City".
COMPARABLE AREA
The comparable area selected for Annexation Area 6 is the Highway 62 Corridor from
Holmans Lane east onto the present City limits. Area 6 is a continuation of this
comparable area east on Highway 62. Both areas are similar in that development is
primarily along Highway 62, is sparse away from the Highway and both areas are located
in the prime access corridor from 1-265 to the eastern part of Jeffersonville.

TOPOGRAPHY
Topography within Annexation Area 6 ranges from 490 to 560 feet above sea level. In
the comparable area, topography ranges from 490 to 520 feet above sea level. Slopes
are gentle in both areas.
EXISTING LAND USE
Single-family residential consisting of 14 single-family houses and 3 mobile homes is the
predominant use of land in Annexation Area 6. This use is mostly located on large
parcels along State Highway 62 that extend in depth from 200 to 2,000 feet. Although
these parcels are occupied by housing, some 70 to 80 percent of their land area is
vacant. This situation along with the existing vacant Parcels means that some 75 percent
of Area 6 is undeveloped. Also 87 percent of the Area's 31 separate parcels are in only
seven different ownership. These factors along with the Area's prime location creates a
favorable potential for growth. Several commercial uses exist along State Highway 62.
They are: a heat and duct cleaning operation; a small shopping center consisting of three
offices and two retail stores; and a furniture store. Also a church is located in the area.
Map 2, which is incorporated herein and attached as Exhibit A, Shows the exiSting use
of land.
Following is a statistical analysis of approximate land area by use:
Type o__fUse Acres
Single-Family House 121.6
Mobile Home 2.5
Church 2.7
Commercial 5.4
Street Right-of-Way 8.6
Vacant 87.9
TOTAL: 228.7
4
POPULATION
Area 6 has an estimated population of 41 persons based on the average household size
found in the fringe area of Jeffersonville.
ZONING
The City of Jeffersonville has, under State enabling legislation, adopted extraterritorial
zoning jurisdiction beyond its corporate limits; therefore, zoning within Annexation Area
6 is now being administered by the City. Exhibit B, Map 3 shows the Existing Zoning in
Annexation Area 6. The following existing zoning districts are applied to the land in Area
6:
Zonin,q Plan
R2
B2
B3
I1
Single, Two & Multi Residences
Service District
General BuSiness
Light Industrial
Because of the City's extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction, the administration of zoning will
only involve the transfer of zoning district classifications from the Fringe Area Zoning Map
to the City of Jeffersonville Zoning Map. This will be done immediately following the
effective date of annexation.
STREETS
State Highway 62, the Jeffersonville Area's most heavily traveled street, runs through the
Center of Annexation Area 6. This four lane facility with median provides direct access
from the 1-265 interchange to the eastern part of Jeffersonville and is the only street
located in Area 6. It is in poor condition, but will be repaved when the Indiana
Department of Transportation (IDOT) turns Highway 62 over to the City. This repaying
will be accomplished with special funding provided as part of the City's agreement to
accept maintenance responsibility from IDOT. The Highway 62 repaving is financially
independent of the proposed annexation and will not effect the financial plan for
Annexation Area 6.
5
The City of Jeffersonville's street maintenance staff consists of a Street Commissioner
and fourteen full time employees. This staff is now responsible for maintaining some 145
miles of improved streets. The incorporation of Annexation Area 6 will add about .6 miles
along Highway 62 to the City's maintenance responsibilities. This would be a 0.4 percent
~ncrease in the City's street maintenance responsibilities.
Routine annual maintenance operations are all that is needed for State Highway 62. The
Annexation of Area 6 will eventually increase the City's annual cost of street maintenance
By an estimated $1,073. This figure was derived by dividing the City's current street miles
into the expense of street maintenance. This results in a maintenance cost of $1,789 per
mile of street. The application of this figure to the .6 miles of streets in Area 6 results in
the estimated annual maintenance cost of $1 073. Although the City will assume the
responsibility for street maintenance in the first year after annexation, it is not anticipated
that any increased maintenance funds will be needed until the second year.
Street Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $1,073
-Annual Budget for Street Maintenance ....................................... $1 073
METHOD OF FINANCING:
Source of funds for the above costs will be the Local Roads and Street Fund, the Motor
Vehicle Fun(~ and the General Fund. City Budget.
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Street maintenance will be assumed by the City of Jeffersonville within twelve (12)
months after the effective date of annexation. The City's street maintenance budget will
be increased by $1,073 annually starting in the second year after annexation to meet
anticipated needs. The capital improvements outlined above for streets will be
accomplished within three years of the effective date of annexation.
6
SIDEWALKS
No sidewalks exist in Annexation Area 6. This is similar to conditions in the comparable
area.
Sidewalk Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Because sidewalks are provided for the Annexation Area in the same manner as in
comparable parts of Jeffersonville, no new sidewalk construction is planned in Area 6.
STREET LIGHTS
There are no existing street lights in Annexation Area 6 or in the comparable area of the
city. Street lights are installed under the City's policy of responding to a request which
is submitted to the Board of Public Works for appreval or denial. If approved, street lights
are installed by Public Service Indiana at a charge to the City of $7.53 per month for
150w sodium vapor lights using standard wooden poles and $6.55 for 1 O0w sodium vapor
lights.
Street Li,qht Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $ 0
METHOD OF FINANCING: General Fund
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
The street light policy now in effect throughout the City of Jeffersonville will ~3e available
to Annexation Area 6 immediately upon annexation. This policy will be comparable to the
policy applicable to all parts of Jeffersonville. For financial planning purposes, it is
assumed that the same number of street lights will be requested and approved for Area
6 as now exist in the corn parable area.
GARBAGE COLLECTION
Garbage collection ~s now provided to the residents and other uses in Annexation Area
6 by two private companies. Once per week residential pick-up is offered by Rumke of
7
Indiana, Inc. for $11.00 per month, and by BFt Waste Systems for $12.00 per month.
Each offers varying rates based on container size for commercial customers.
The City of Jeffersonville now provides one garbage pick-up per week for residences at
no charge, Service is not provided for commercial or institutional uses. To avoid any
additional ~3ersonnel or equipment costs and landfill expenses, the City plans to contract
sanitation services 'n Annexation Area 6 to a private company. An estimated cost,
based on current City sanitatio~ service contracts, to serve the Area's 17 existing
residential pick-ups would be approximately $902 per year.
Garba,qe Collection Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $902 annually
METHOD OF FINANCING: Sanitation Fund and/or other funds of the City.
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
The City of Jeffersonville will let bids on a contract to provide garbage collection to Area
6 at the City's present level of service. Bidding documents will be prepared and a bid
awarded to provide service no later than the third month of the first year after annexation.
WATER
Annexation will nave no effect on water services as it is provided in Area 6 by private
companies, the ndiana-Amedcan Water Company, Inc. and the Watson Rural Water
Company.
Water Service Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Continued provision of services by private companies.
8
FIRE HYDRANTS
Annexation Area 6 now has 2 fire hydrants which are on the Watson Rural Water
Company system. An additional 4 hydrants ara needed to serve Area 6 with hydrant
availability comparable to the minimum standards of the Jeffersonville Fire Department,
Map 4 whiCh is incorporated herein and attached as Exhibit C, shows the location of
existing fire hydrants.
Fire Hydrant Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $1,293 annually
--Annual Rental of Existing Fire Hydrants (2 @ $215.40 each) ............................. $431
--Annual Rental of New Fire Hydrants (4 @ $215.40 each) .................................... $862
METHOD OF FINANCING: General Fund,City Budget
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Rental on the existing fire hydrants will be assumed by the City the sixth month of the first
year after annexation. The City will have four new fire hydrants installed no later than the
sixth month of the first year after annexation. This will provide every structure in the Area
with adequate accessibility to a fire hydrant.
SANITARY SEWER
The City of Jeffersonville's sanitary sewer service does not presently serve Annexation
Area 6. In addition to the specific sewer need of Araa 6, the proposed Inner City Road
Project includes directly ralated sewer improvements. These improvements involve the
construction of an interceptor from Allison Lane to the 1-265 interchange consisting of the
installation of approximately 8,000 feet of gravity sewer, 3,500 feet of force main, a new
pump station and 25 manholes at an estimated cost of $1,068,480. This cost will be
included as part of the proposed Tax Increment Finance (TIF) Project for the Inner City
Road Project. Area 6's residences, businesses and church can ~3e sewered from the
proposed interceptor. This would provide sewer service in a manner consistent with the
9
provisions of such service in the comparable area of Jeffersonville. This would generate
an estimatee $12,225 in tap fees. However, it should be realized that these tap fees will
not be collected until after the sewer is constructed and that a significant percentage of
the fees may be paid on an installment basis.
Sanitary Sewer Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING:
General Func~ and other City funds
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICE:
As part of the Annexation Area 6 ;)lan, the City will design and construct adequate
sanitary sewer lines to serve the developed, but unsewered parts of the Area.
Engineering design will be completed in the first quarter of year three and all construction
will be completed prior to the end of year three. This will be done in connection with the
TIF Project and will not involve a direct cost to the annexation of Area 6.
STORM DRAINAGE
Storm drainage facilities in the form of either ditches and culverts is available throughout
Area 6. No significant drainage problems have been reported to the County within Area
6. Routine maintenance of drainage facilities will be provided by the City's street and
sanitary sewer maintenance personnel at no additional budget expense.
Storm Draina.qe Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICE:
The City of Jeffersonville's personnel engaged in street and sanitary sewer maintenance
will provide routine storm drainage maintenance by the twelth month of the first year after
annexation. This service will be comparable to the storm drainage n!aintenance provided
throughout the comparable area. The expense for this service is included in the cost
figure for street maintenance.
10
FLOOD PLAIN
Based on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps, no part of Annexation
Area 6 is within a flood plain.
Flood Plain Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Application of the City of Jeffersonville's floo(~ plain regulations in Area 6.
FIRE PROTECTION
Fire protection is presently provided to Annexation Area 6 by the McCulioh Volunteer Fire
Department from its station on Allison Lane. In Area 6 the McCulloh system has a Class
7 rating. Jeffersonville Township now pays the Volunteer Fire Department for protection
through a .1899 tax rate for properties in the unincorporated parts of the Township,
Property owners in Area 6 would cease to pay this tax one year after annexation.
Annexation will transfer the responsibility for fire protection to the City of Jeffersonville
Fire Department which has a Class 5 rating. A major advantage of the Jeffersonville Fire
Department is 24-hour response with sufficient people on duty at all times. The
Jeffersonville Fire Department now has 49 fire fighter personnel and six trucks which
serve the City from three stations, The distribution of fire fighting personnel and
equipment is as follows:
Central (Wall Street) East (Crestview) North (Fabricon)
4 Trucks 1 Truck 1 Truck
21 Firefighters 12 Firefighters 12 Fireflghters
11
Fire Protection Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING:
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
The City of Jeffersonville will provide fire protection to Area 6 six months after the
effective date of annexation. This Will improve the Area's fire prOtecti0n service from a
Class 7 to Class 5 rating, service to Area 6 will not reqUire any additional personnel or
equipment.
The City is currently studying two potential annexation areas in addition to Area 6. These
three areas, when combined, will not change the financing, personnel or equipment needs
outlined in this study. However, annexations beyond the three areas currently under
study could require additional budget or the relocation of the Fire Department's East
(Crestview) Station.
POLICE PROTECTION
Police protection is now provided to Annexation Area 6 by the Clark County Sheriff's
Department. The Sheriff's Department has 31 officers to serve the entire County. The
annexation of Area 6 will transfer the responsibility for police protection to the
Jeffersonville Police Department. This Department will able to respond much quicker to
the Area's police calls. In fact, the Jeffersonville Police Department makes about 33 runs
per year to unincorporated areas because the Sheriff's Department personnel is stretcheC
over too much land area. The annexation of Area 6 will help reduce the County's police
work load.
Existing personnel of the Jeffersonville Police Department consists of the Chief, Assistant
Chief, 35 officers and 8 civilians. The City is now divided into three areas for patrol
purposes and identification. Response time for the Police Department to all parts of the
City averages 2.5 minutes. The patrol area delineations are as follows:
East
West
North
All streets east of Main Street
All streets west of Main Street
Everything north of E. 10th Street and Spring Street
12
Police runs along HighwaY 62 immediately to the Southwest of Annexation Area 6
average 80 runs per year. It is estimated that Area 6 will average approximately the
same number of runs annually. The Police Department now actively patrols along the
Highway 62 Corridor from Allison Lane to the boundary of Area 6. These patrols could
drive the additional .6 miles of public street in Area 6 in approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
This amount of time will not place any significant burden on existing police patrols.
Police Protection Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Police patrols now traveling Highway 62 from Allison Lane to the boundary of Annexation
Area 6 will be instructed to provide police protection to Annexation Area 6 starting the first
day after the effective date of annexation. This plan to assume police protection
responsibility can be implemented at no additional expense to the City as it will not
require the hiring of any new personnel, will not require the purchase of any new
equipment and will increase current patrol time by no more than three minutes.
The City is now studying two annexation areas in addition to Area 6. These three areas
when combined will not change the financing, personnel or equipment needs plan
outlined in the study of each individual area. It should be stressed, however, that
annexations beyond the three areas currently under study could result in the need for
additional budget.
RECREATION
No public recreational facilities are located in Annexation Area 6. However, Vissing Park,
located less than one mile from all parts of Area 6, offers facilities that would be available
for residents of the prOpOsed annexation areal These facilities inClUde two (2) picnic
Shelters, barbecue pavilion, thirty-two (32) picnic tables, restrooms, walking paths, biking
trail, unlighted Softball field, badminton court, paved and lighted volleyball court, two (2)
junior swing sets, three (3) merry-go-rounds, two (2) Slides, three (3) grills, five (5)
sandboxes, one (1) horseshoe pit, and parking for seventy-four (74) cars. Some 154
acres of neighborhOod, communitY and city Parks are located thrOughOut the City and Will
be available for the use of Area 6's residents. No increase in recreation personnel or
facilities will be needed because of the Annexation of Area 6.

PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION SERVICES:
The present recreational facilities of the City of Jeffersonville will be available to the
residents of Area 6 immediately upon annexation. This will be comparable to the facilities
available to the residents of comparable areas ~n the City.
CITY ENGINEERING, PLANNING &ZONING, INSPECTION &-BUILDING CODE
ENFORCEMENT
AFl of the services of the City's engineenng, planning anc~ zoning, inspection and code
enforcement personnel that are currently provided to residents of the City and the
comparable areas will be made available to Annexation Area 6. No additional personnel
will be needed to provide these services.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
City administration and operations include departments that are not directly involved i~
the provision of capital and noncapital services. Some examples of this are the mayor's
office, clerk's office, personnel, legal, etc. The request for these services will be provided
to the same standard and scope as they are now previdee to the City and to the
comparable area. These services can be provided within the bounds of existing
resources.

Administrative Services Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Immediately upon annexation, all of the City's administrative services will be provided to
Annexation Area 6's residents and businesses in the same manner and scope they are
now provided to comparable areas of the City. These services will be extended without
hardship to the City's administrative offices and at no increased cost.
OTHER CITY FUNCTIONS
This plan attempts to outline services that may be impacted by the inclusion of
Annexation Area 6 within the City of Jeffersonville's corporate boundaries. Any services
not specifically addressed in this report have not been omitted for lack of consideration.
Rather~ their absence indicates that provision of these services to the Annexation Area
and/or its residents and businesses will be provided in the same manner that such
services are provided to comparable areas without the expenditure of additional funds.
The intent of this plan is that any services currently available to the comparable areas of
the Annexation Area and/or their residents and property owners, that are not previously
discussed in this plan, will be made available in the same manner to the Annexation Area
and/or its residents and property owners immediately upon annexation.
Other City Functions Plan

METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Any munic~ pal services not previously discussed in this plan will be made available in the
same manner to the Annexation Area and/or its residents and property owners as it is
currently available to corn parable areas of the City.
15
HIRING PLAN
It is anticipated that this annexation will not result in the elimination of jobs for employees
of other governmental entities, but in the event if does, then the City of Jeffersonville will
assist these employees in the obtaining of new employment. However, the City will not
be required to hire any of these employees.
In the event of unforeseen elimination of jobs, the City will take the application of any
such employee and maintain a special file of these applications. Each application will be
forwarded to major employers in the area, and to any City department having a job
opportunity for which the individual is qualified. Each individual will also be referred to the
ndiana State Em ployment Security Division.
