Page 12: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

10

SECTION FIVE: PLAN TO PROVIDE MUNICIPAL SERVICES

State law requires that within one (1) years of annexation, the City provide the annexed areas

with "planned services of a non-capital nature" which are "equivalent in standard and scope" to

those non-capital services provided to areas within the City. The law requires "that services of a

capital improvement nature…be provided to annexed territory within three (3) years after the

effective date of the annexation in the same manner as those services are provided to areas

within the corporate boundaries” and consistent with Federal, State, and Local laws, procedures,

and planning criteria. Itemized cost estimates of the services, methods of financing the services,

and a plan for the organization and extension of services are also required (Ind. Code § 36-4-3-

13 (d)). This section contains such a plan.

Municipal services are analyzed in terms of the needs of the annexation area and the costs of

providing those services to these areas. As required by Indiana law, services will be provided in a

manner that treats the annexation areas the same way that other areas in the City are treated.

The annexation area non-capital services would begin immediately upon annexation. Services

will be at City standards for areas and, where necessary for items such as new utility service, the

standard service provision processes will be used as they are used elsewhere in the City.

This is a plan to provide municipal services, which the City of Greenwood is committed to do. The

exact implementation details may change as needs are re-evaluated and services re-allocated

throughout the entire City. Standard City policy could also change, necessitating changes in the

manner and amount of service provided. Regardless of any change of details, municipal services

will be provided to the annexation areas in the same manner and level that they are provided

elsewhere in the City.

This section provides an orderly and effective plan for the organization and extension of services

to the annexed areas by providing itemized costs for each City department and/or agency,

detailing the methods of financing the planned services, and stating the timeframe in which

services will be provided.

1. Police Department Services

The Greenwood Police Department (GPD) will become responsible for servicing the area

immediately upon annexation. The GPD has a full-time force of 63 Sworn Officers (72.5 for the

total police force including sworn officers, reserve officers (building security), and other

department personnel). The City’s estimated population is 59,458 according to the US census

population estimates for 2019. Thus, the City of Greenwood’s current level of officer service is a

ratio of approximately 1.06 per 1000. The level of service ratio for total department personnel is

approximately 1.22 per 1000. The level of service typical of a mid-size city in the Midwest is

approximately 2 per 1000, according to FBI Uniform Crime Report (2018).

Page 13: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

11

The total budget for 2021 police services is $7,846,172. This amount combines budgets for Police

Department ($6,828,461), Police Pension Fund ($458,332), Cumulative Capital funds budgeted

for Police capital expenditures (520,954) and Police Merit Board ($38,425). With a total of 72.5

employees (63 full time force, 2 part time Reserve officers (building security), 1 part time civilian,

and 8 other departmental personnel civilians), the 2021 average annual cost is $108,223.06 per

employee. Services to the annexation areas will be funded by the approved 2021 Police

Department budget, which is funded by general fund property taxes. Based upon level of service

of 1.22 employees per 1,000 population and estimated total population of 539 at full build-out,

the projected annual cost to provide police service is $71,165.

2. Fire Department Services

The parcel proposed for annexation are currently serviced by the Greenwood Fire District. The

Greenwood Common Council at budget time each year establishes a Fire District fund in the City

budget that will be applicable to all properties that are within the City limits.

The Greenwood Fire Department has a career staff of 54 Merit Fire Fighters and 4 Civilians. The

Greenwood Fire Department also employs 26 Part Time Fire Fighters and 5 Part Time Admin.

Therefore, the Greenwood Fire Department operates with an equivalent of 73.5 personnel. The

City’s estimated population is 59,458. Thus, the current level of service ratio is approximately

1.24 per 1,000 population. The National Fire Protection Association staffing recommendations

are 1.5 firefighters per 1,000. With a total of 73.5 employees, the 2021 average annual cost is

$103,362.80 per employee. Services to the annexation areas will be funded by the approved 2021

Fire Department Budget, which is funded by general fund property taxes. Based upon level of

service of 1.24 employees per 1,000 population and estimation population of 539 at full build-

out, the projected annual cost to provide fire service is $69,084.

3. Other Private Utilities

Natural gas, electricity, and telephone services are provided to the area by private companies

(not municipally owned). The annexation of this area will have no effect upon the costs or level

of service of these utilities. These utilities will continue to be available to area property owners

subject to the policies of the individual utility companies and the Utility Regulatory Commission.

4. Leaf Collection & Trash Removal

The City of Greenwood provides leaf/limb and trash removal to residential areas upon

annexation. Leaf and limb service to the annexation area will be funded by the approved 2021

Waste Management budget. Weekly trash pick-up and curbside recycling is contracted by the

City with a private provider and customers are billed a monthly fee for these services. These

Page 14: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

12

services are funded by the user fees collected by Greenwood Solid Waste Management. They are

not a part of the City general fund budget.

5. Sanitary Sewers

ANNEXATION DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE AVAILABILITY OF SANITARY SEWER. Availability is

subject to review and approval by the Greenwood Board of Public Works and Safety. Either the

developer, or land owner, will pay to install the sanitary sewers to City specifications. Upon

acceptance of sanitary sewers, the City will provide maintenance and service as in other areas of

the City. These are the standard practices and policies of the Greenwood Sanitation Department

by and through the Greenwood Board of Public Works and Safety. Sanitary sewer rates are

established by the Greenwood Common Council. Sanitary sewer service and customer user fees

are not impacted or changed due to annexation. Sanitary sewer service will be extended to

property owners requesting such service in accordance with the standard practices and policies,

upon payment of the cost of extending such service, and upon issuance of any permit required

from regulatory agencies (such as IDEM).

6. Stormwater Utility

Stormwater services will be extended to the annexation area in the same manner and method as

other areas of the City. Currently there are no capital stormwater projects planned in the

annexation area that will not be paid for by a developer. However, the annexed area will benefit

from overall better stormwater management in the City and surrounding areas due to capital

projects planned. Additional costs to the City are projected to be nominal and are shown as zero

in Table B- Estimated Expenditures.

7. Traffic Control

Responsibilities for traffic control by the Greenwood Police Department are included in the costs

and services in item 1 (Police Department Services) of this section. The owner/developer will

provide the regulatory signage and street markings within the proposed development, if any.

Maintenance of regulatory signage and street markings along Combs Road in the annexation

areas will be funded by the approved 2021 Street Department budget, which is funded by Local

Road and Street (LRS) and Motor Vehicle Highway (MVH) revenues as explained in Section 6 of

this plan. The law enforcement portion of traffic control is included within the annual cost shown

in Table B– Estimated Expenditures. Regulatory signage and street marking portions of traffic

control are included within the Street Department costs projected in Table B- Estimated

Expenditures.

Page 15: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

13

8. Streets

There are approximately 0.203 miles (1071.84 linear feet) of public streets (Combs Road) within

the annexation area being added to Greenwood’s street inventory. Routine maintenance for the

street will be funded by the approved 2021 Street Department budget, which is funded by LRS

and MVH revenues as explained in Section 6 of this plan.

9. Fleet Maintenance

The Fleet Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining municipal vehicles, including

vehicles for the Police Department and City utilities. The Fleet Maintenance Department does

not project an increase in the maintenance costs of administrative vehicles as a result of the

annexation, but an increase in maintenance cost of administrative vehicles as a result of extended

service runs and increased road mileage may result in additional cost estimated to be $251 and

is included in Table B- Estimated Expenditures.

Street miles added by the annexation 0.203 miles represents an increase of 0.09% of the total

223.16 miles of City street system. An estimated economies of scale factor of 75% was then

applied. The resulting rate was then multiplied by the current 2021 Fleet Maintenance budget

which resulted in an estimated annual expense of approximately $251.20 (.0009 x .75 x

$372,142). The majority of these costs are projected to be absorbed by the Motor Vehicle

Highway and Local Road and Street property tax funds as well as revenue from the Sanitation

Department and Stormwater Management Department generated from user fees for those

departments.

10. Parks

The closest City of Greenwood park to the annexation area is University Park. University Park is

located to the south on Legacy Blvd. The closest county parks are Independence Park located on

Morgantown Road and Johnson County Park located in Camp Atterbury in southern Johnson

County. Parks near the annexation areas will continue to be funded by the approved 2021 Parks

Department budget, which is funded by general fund property taxes and by residential park

impact fees. Most recreational programs are funded by user fees paid by the participants. No

new parks will be needed due to this annexation in the near future. Residents of the annexed

area will qualify upon the effective date of the annexation for reduced residential rates at the

City’s Community Center, Freedom Springs Aquatic Center, and for recreational programs of the

Department throughout the City. Park Impact Fees collected with building permits will be used

for capital improvements to parks pursuant to city ordinance and state law.

11. Community Development Services

Upon annexation the area will be under the jurisdiction of the Greenwood Advisory Plan

Commission and the Department of Community Development Services (CDS). Services will be

funded by the approved 2021 budget for the Community Development Services Department,

which is funded by general fund property taxes. Upon annexation, the area will fall under the City

of Greenwood’s Building Commissioner for permitting purposes. The expected costs of the

annexation to the CDS Department are nominal. As development occurs services may increase.

The CDS Department’s annual budget is funded through both General Fund property dollars and

user fees generated from permits. Zero dollars are shown on Table B- Estimated Expenditures.

12. General City Administration

Upon annexation, citizens and property owners in this area will be represented by the elected

and appointed officials of the City of Greenwood. Elected officials include the Mayor, 9-member

Common Council, City Clerk, and City Judge. Citizens will also be served by the other appointed

city boards and commissions, including: Board of Public Works and Safety, Advisory Plan

Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals, Economic Development Commission, Redevelopment

Commission, Park and Recreation Board, Board of Stormwater Management, Police Merit

Commission, Fire Department Merit Commission, and the Board of Aviation Commissioners. City

offices and departments that are primarily administrative in function include Mayor, Finance,

Clerk, Human Resources, Legal Department, Code Enforcement, Information Technology, and

Community Development Services. There are no additional costs anticipated to extend the

general City administrative services.

Citizens will benefit from direct participation and representation in City government. The

annexation area is contiguous to Councilmanic District #3. The Division of Planning & Zoning

recommends that the City assign the subject area to Councilmanic District #3 upon annexation

into the City of Greenwood. Services will be funded by the approved 2021 budget.

Municipal Election

Residents of the annexed area will become eligible to be candidates for municipal offices and to

vote for municipal officers, including the Mayor, Clerk, City Council members (district and at

large), and City Court Judge in regular or special elections beginning on the effective date of the

annexation. This is a non-capital service that will not result in an additional cost to the City.

Mayor’s Office

Page 17: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

15

The Mayor’s Office consists of the Mayor, Economic Development Director, Community Relations

and Marketing Strategist, Capital Projects Manager, and Executive Administrative Assistant. The

Mayor is an elected official whose services and advocacy will be available to residents of the area

to be annexed upon the effective date of the annexation. The Mayor’s office does not project

any significant change in the cost of its non-capital services as a direct result of this annexation.

The services of the Mayor’s office will be paid from the general fund of the City from property

tax revenues.

Common Council Services and Districts

The municipal services of the Common Council (City Council) are non-capital and the City Council

projects no significant change in the cost of its services as a result of annexation. The City Council

commonly receives requests from outside of the corporate limits as well as allowing residents of

the unincorporated areas the opportunity to approach the Council, offer testimony, and make

policy requests. Annexation will not change this practice. The proposed annexation is projected

to require a re-alignment of Council District #3. The Annexation Ordinance will include provisions

to assign the annexation area to Council District #3 at the discretion of the Council.

City Clerk

The Clerk is the official record keeper for the City and the City Court Clerk and is an elected official

whose services shall be available to the residents of the areas to be annexed upon the effective

date of the annexation. This is a non-capital service that will not result in an additional

measurable cost to the City.

City Court

The annexed areas will now fall within the jurisdiction of the Greenwood City Court for eligible

cases. Given the small population of the areas to be annexed, this is not expected to result in an

additional measureable cost to the City. It is estimated that any increased volume can be handled

within the existing assets and resources of the Court and that revenues generated by the

increased volume of court activity will offset increased operating costs.

Legal Department

The Legal Department does not provide services directly to taxpayers and as such is not generally

a service that is considered to change as a result of annexation. A review of the operation of the

Page 18: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

16

Legal Department indicates that the cost of its non-capital services is generally dependent upon

specific projects and issues, rather than being generated by changes in municipal boundaries.

Finance Department

The Controller is the Chief Fiscal Officer of the City and the services of the Controller’s office are

generally non-capital in nature and are projected to only nominally increase as a result of the

annexation. In addition to providing the fiscal guidance for the City, the Controller’s Office

(Finance Department) is also responsible for the utility billing services for the City’s two utilities

– sewer and stormwater and for trash collection. The Controller’s Office currently mails 26,700

utility bills on average each month. An increase of 67 bills is not expected to have a material

impact cost-wise upon the Department. The Controller’s Office will perform a key role in the

development of post-annexation budgets as well as performing diligence in the fiscal processes

underlying the City’s revenue streams.

Human Resources

The Human Resources Department provides non-capital services that are not expected to

increase with the annexation. The annexation is not expected to result in any immediate

increases in staff and the Department does not provide direct services to the public.

Code Enforcement

Code Enforcement provides non-capital services by ensuring that the City’s Municipal Code

provisions relating to nuisances and property maintenance are enforced uniformly and fairly.

Given the annexed areas current agricultural character, it is not expected that the annexation

will result in an immediate measurable increase in Code Enforcement services. However,

increased residential development in the area may result in increased costs further in the future.

These costs will be paid through the City’s general fund from property taxes through the Board

of Public Works and Safety’s budget.

Information Technology

The Information Technology Department provides non-capital services that are not expected to

increase with the annexation. The Department does not provide direct services to the public.

Page 19: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

17

Airport

The Airport’s capital and non-capital services are not tied to the City’s boundaries and as such

are not expected to increase with the annexation.

Boards and Commissions

The annexed areas will be serviced by the City’s boards and commissions. Boards and

Commissions that will be particularly affected by the annexation include:

The Board of Public Works and Safety – will have responsibility for maintaining and

overseeing the public improvements and infrastructure in the area

Advisory Planning Commission & Board of Zoning Appeals - will have responsibility and

jurisdiction over zone map changes, variances, subdivision plats, commercial site

development plans, and other land development matters

13. Schools and Libraries

Taxing districts and boundaries for schools and libraries are completely independent and

unaffected by the annexation. Therefore, this annexation will have no effect upon schools or

libraries’ areas of jurisdiction or budgets. Additional information can be found in Section 8.

14. Hiring Plans

It is anticipated that this annexation will not result in the elimination of jobs for employees of

other governmental entities, but in the event it does, then the Mayor of the City of Greenwood

is committed to assist these employees in obtaining of new employment. However, the City will

not be required to hire any of these individuals.

In the event of unforeseen elimination of jobs, the Mayor shall 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 Indiana Department of Work

Force Development.

15. Councilmanic District Assignment

The parcels proposed for annexation is contiguous to Council District #3. It is recommended that

the City assign the subject area to Councilmanic District #3 upon annexation into the City of

Greenwood.

SECTION SIX: FINANCIAL IMPACT/ FISCAL PLAN

This section contains estimates of both estimated revenue and estimated expenditures projected

for a five-year period for the annexation area.

The projections for revenue are based upon the petitioner’s development plan which in turn is

based upon available capacity and connection to the sanitary sewer system. The rates for the

various revenue sources were obtained from the City of Greenwood Finance Department.

The projections for expenditures were based upon the 2021 budget and the 2021 rates that the

City pays for various services. Detailed explanations of the estimates are found on the following

pages and tables. Expenditures, like revenue projections, are based upon growth estimates.

The annexation area includes a total of 32.932 acres of land with rezoning request from Johnson

County RR - Rural Residential District to City of Greenwood RMC - Residential Multi-Unit Complex.

The builder’s concept plan is shows four types of buildings with the following characteristics:

Building A – 43 Ranch Style Buildings each containing 3 units (129 total units). Each unit

has two bedrooms with front entry garages.

Building B – 12 Ranch Style Buildings each containing 3 units (36 total units). Each unit

has two bedrooms with rear entry garages.

Building C – 6 Ranch Style Buildings each containing 2 units (12 total units). Each units has

two bedrooms with front entry garages.

Building D – 6 Townhome building each containing 6 units (36 total units). Each unit has

two bedrooms with front entry garages.

The concept plan shows a total of 67 buildings with 213 total units. The petitioner is anticipating

the build-out to happen in one phase, with all construction completed by Year 2. For calculations,

it is assumed approximately half (50%) of the construction will occur Year 1 and the remaining

construction will finalize Year 2. Population is assumed to be 2.53 people per household resulting

in a total population of 539.

Revenue Estimated revenue are based on the following:

1. Property Taxes

A. Projected Assessed Valuation is $24,000,000. This Projected Assessed Valuation,

provided by the petitioner, is inclusive of the construction improvements, 67 apartment

buildings (totaling 213, 2 bedroom units) and a clubhouse.

B. 2021 Greenwood Non-Fire Tax Rate = $0.4479 per $100 total assessed valuation

Page 21: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

19

C. 2021 Greenwood Fire Rate = $0.1959 per $100 total assessed valuation

D. 2021 Greenwood Total Tax Rate = $0.6438 per $100 total assessed valuation

E. ($24,000,000/100) x $0.6438 = $154,512

F. Total Annual Property Tax Revenue at full build out (Starting Year 3) = $154,512

G. Total Annual Property Tax Revenue at 50% buildout (Year 2) = $77,256

2. Stormwater Utility

The monthly billing for stormwater utility services will be $5 per 2800 sq ft of impervious surface.

The petitioner estimated the impervious surface area (rooftops, driveways, clubhouse/pool,

parking, and roadway) to be 15 acres or 653,400 sq ft (653,400 sq ft / 2,800 sq ft x $5 = $1166.79

per month) Stormwater is billed quarterly at a rate of $3,500. At a full build-out the annual

stormwater service fee will be approximately $14,000. Any new drainage concerns will be

evaluated and the Board of Directors of the Department of Stormwater Management will review

its work plan and project list on a regular basis to determine specific projects and priorities.

3. Building Permit Fees

New Residential Structures Building Permit (Multi-family units):

A. Building Permit Fee = $100/unit + $100/acre of project + $.02 per sq ft

1. Units = 213

2. Acreage = 32.932

3. Total Square Footage = 365,840

Building A: 43 buildings x 5102 sq ft = 219,386 sq ft

Building B: 12 buildings x 5102 sq ft = 61,224 sq ft

Building C: 6 buildings x 3321 sq ft= 19,926 sq ft

Building D: 6 buildings x 10,884 sq ft = 65,304 sq ft

B. ($100 x 213) + ($100 x 32.93) + ($.02 x 365,840) = $31,909.80

C. $31,910 = Total cost New Residential Structures Permit

D. 50% of this fee will apply to Year 1 and 50% of this fee will apply to Year 2

New Commercial Building Permit (Clubhouse):

A. Building Permit Fee = $500 base fee + $0.05 per sq ft of building

B. Commercial Building = 3,426 sq ft

C. 500 + ($.05 x 3,426) = $671.30

D. $671.30 = Total cost for New Commercial Building Permit

E. 100% of this fee will apply to Year 1

Commercial/Public Swimming Pool:

A. 800 square feet = $300 Total Cost for Pool Permit

Page 22: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

20

B. 100% of this fee will apply to Year 1

Total Building Permit Fees Year 1 = $15,955 + $671 + $300 = $16,926

8. Motor Vehicle Highway Fund = $19.50 per capita

9. MVH – Wheel Tax Distribution = $27.63 per capita

10. Local Road and Street Fund = $13.55 per capita

Expenditures Estimated expenditures are based on the following:

1. Police

Funds, Merit Board, Pension Fund)

B. $7,846,172 / 72.5 (GPD employees) = $108,223.06 cost per employee per year

C. Current level of service = 1.22 per 1,000 population

D. Expenditures to be funded by City annual budget appropriations

E. Estimated population of 539 at complete build-out

Page 23: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

21

F. Based upon level of service of 1.22 employees per 1,000 population and the

estimated population at 539 for the annexation area, the projected annual cost to

provide police service is $71,165.

2. Fire

A. Total 2020 Fire Budget = $7,597,166 (Fire Dept. Budget, Fire Equipment Debt

Service)

B. $7,597,166/73.5 (GFD full and part-time employees) = $103,362.80 cost per

employee

C. Level of Service = 1.24 employees per 1,000 population

D. Expenditures to be funded by City annual budget appropriations

E. Estimated population of 539 at complete build-out

Total Street Department Budget = $5,022,277

B. Current Street Mileage = 223.16 miles

C. Estimated Cost per mile maintenance = $22,505.27 per mile annually

D. Public Streets Added = 0.203 miles

E. Percent increase of 0.09%

F. Total added cost per year = $4,568.57

G. Table calculations assume 100% starting in Year 1

5. Fleet Maintenance

Page 24: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

22

A. Total Fleet Maintenance Budget (all funds) = $372,142

B. Number of street miles prior to annexation =223.16

C. Number of street miles added = 0.203

D. Percent of growth = .07% with estimated “economies of scale” adjustment = 75%

E. Street miles added by the annexation (0.203 miles) represents an increase of

0.09% of the total 223.16 miles in the City street system. An estimated economies

of scale factor of 75% was then applied (.0009 x.75 = 0.000675). The resulting rate

was then multiplied by the 2021 proposed Fleet Maintenance budget which

resulted in an estimated annual expense of approximately $372,142.

F. 0.000675 x $372,142 = $251.20

F. Table calculations assume 100% starting in Year 1

6. Street Lights

A. Current billing rate = $ 12.60 per month per light (avg. cost Johnson County REMC).

B. Standard City policy (BPW&S) is for developer, property owner, or homeowner

association to pay for installation costs for street lights on public streets. Following

installation, monthly electric bill is paid by City. These are contractual

arrangements between the participating entities.

C. Estimated 9 street lights will be installed within the annexation area. Costs for

installation are shown as zero. Monthly costs for maintenance and electric power

will be paid by the developer. The projected cost to the City is zero, as shown in

Table B– Estimated Expenditures.

SECTION SEVEN: SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATIONS

Indiana Annexation Statutes For a City to successfully annex an area, it must meet the necessary criteria for annexation as

established by Ind. Code § 36-4-3-1 et. seq.

The criteria include:

1. Ind. Code § 36-4-3-1.5 and Ind. Code § 36-4-3-13(c)(1)(A) – Contiguity

Criteria: …territory sought to be annexed may be considered "contiguous" only if at least twenty-

five percent (1/4) of the aggregate external boundaries of the territory coincides with the

boundaries of the annexing municipality.”

Response: The annexation area is approximately 35% contiguous, exceeding the one-fourth

requirement.

2. Ind. Code § 36-4-3-13 (d) and Ind. Code § 36-4-3-3.1 - Fiscal Plan

Criteria: The requirements of subsection (d) are met if: "the evidence establishes that the

municipality has developed and adopted a written fiscal plan and has established a definite

policy, by resolution of the legislative body.”

The fiscal plan must show:

(1) The cost estimates of planned services to be furnished to the territory to be annexed.

(2) The method or methods of financing the planned services.

(3) The plan for the organization and extension of services.

(4) That planned services of a non-capital nature normally provided…will be provided to the

annexed territory within one (1) year after the effective date of annexation, and in a manner

equivalent in standard and scope…provided to areas within the corporate boundaries[.]

(5) That services of a capital improvement nature…will be provided to the annexed territory

within three (3) years after the effective date of the annexation, in the same manner as those

services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries[.]

(6) The estimated effective of the proposed annexation on tax payers in each of the political

subdivisions to which the proposed annexation applies. Including the expected tax rates, tax

levies, expenditure levels, service levels, and annual debt service payment in those political

subdivisions for four (4) years after the effective date of the annexation.

Page 29: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

27

(7) The estimated effect the proposed annexation will have on municipal finances,

specifically how municipal tax revenues will be affected by the annexation for four (4) years after

the effective date of the annexation.

(8) Any estimated effects on political subdivisions in the county that are not part of the

annexation and on tax payers located in those political subdivisions for four (4) years after the

effective date of the annexation.

(9) A list of all parcels of property in the annexation territory including owner name, parcel

identification number, most recent assessed value, and if waiver of rights to remonstrate exists

for each parcel.

Response:

(1) Cost estimates for planned services are contained in Section Six.

(2) The methods (revenue source) of financing the planned services are contained in

Sections Five and Six of this report.

(3) The plan for extension of services is contained in Section Five of this report for each

department and agency.

(4) Services of a non-capital nature will be provided to the annexation area immediately

upon the effective date of annexation and in the equivalent manner within one year as

provided in other areas of the City. Planned non-capital services include police protection,

street maintenance, traffic control, street lighting, general City administration, park and

recreation services, and planning and zoning. Fire protection services are already being

provided by the Greenwood Fire Department.

(5) Services of a capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within 3 years after

the effective date of annexation and in the same manner those services are provided to areas

within the corporate boundaries. Utilities services, including natural gas, electricity, and

telephone are provided by privately owned public utilities. Water is to be provided by the

Bargersville’s municipal water system. Provisions of these services is subject to availability and

policies of each individual utility provider. These services are not provided by the City.

(6) The effect of the annexation on tax payers in the political subdivision to which the

proposed annexation applies is shown is Section 8 of this Fiscal Plan.

(7) The estimated effects on the annexation on the municipal finances is shown on Tables

A and B, in Section Six of this Fiscal Plan.

(8) The estimated effects on political subdivision with the County is address in Section 8 of

this Fiscal Plan.

Page 30: GREENWOOD COMMON COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 21-14 A …

28

(9) The list of parcels, including owner name, parcel identification number, most recent

assessed value and known waivers of right to remonstrate are included in Section One of this

Fiscal Plan.

Plan Commission Review and Recommendation: The Greenwood Planning Commission, has submitted a petition for annexation for 32.932 Acres.

The Greenwood Planning Commission considered: 1) the statutory criteria for annexation and

zoning classification; 2) staff comments and recommendations; 3) oral and written comments

from remonstrators and property owners; and 4) the official annexation policy of the City. At the

conclusion of a public hearing held on April 26, 2021 the Planning Commission granted a

favorable recommendation forwarded and certified to the Greenwood Common Council. The

Plan Commission’s vote was seven (7) to zero (0) for the annexation with zoning classifications of

RMC – Residential Multi-Unit Complex.

The proposed annexation area is a logical extension of the City. The subject area meets or

exceeds state and local criteria for annexation. Annexation of this area will help the City grow in

a logical and orderly manner, as well as helping to preserve a solid tax base.

Annexation of this area will square-up the City’s corporate limits. Private and public utilities will

provide water, natural gas, electricity, telephone services to the area. Annexation does not

guarantee sanitary sewer capacity. The availability of sanitary sewers must be determined by the

Board of Public Works and Safety in order for development to occur. The timetable for a

determination on sanitary sewer capacity is based upon several factors which are not within the

City's control.

Common Council Consideration and Adoption: The Greenwood Common Council, like the Greenwood Advisory Plan Commission, has also given

consideration to: 1) the contents and policies of this plan; 2) the statutory criteria for annexation

and zoning classification; 3) staff comments and recommendation; 4) oral and written comments

from remonstrators and property owners; and 5) the official annexation policy of the City.

Based upon the considerations enumerated above, the Greenwood Common Council adopted

this plan by reference in Resolution No 21-14 adopted on the ________day of _____________,

2021.

City services shall be extended to the annexed area as provided in Section Five: Plan to Provide

Municipal Services and Section Six: Financial Impact/Fiscal Plan of this annexation study.

SECTION EIGHT: EFFECT ON POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS NOT A PART OF

THE ANNEXATION

The effect of this annexation on political subdivisions not a part of this annexation are minor.

The majority of the political subdivisions serving this area will not be affected by the annexation.

Johnson County Government will lose 32.932 acres of agricultural property within its jurisdiction.

However, the tax rate, including that distributed from these properties, will remain the same,

which is currently 0.3012 of the assessed valuation.

Pleasant Township Government will lose 32.932 of agricultural property within its jurisdiction.

However the tax rate, including that distributed from these properties, will remain the same,

which is currently 0.2037 of the assessed valuation.

The Johnson County Public Library (JCPL) will continue to serve these properties. While the library

will see an increase in the number of patrons due to the increase in population from 0 to possibly

538, this should not result in any significant increase in costs to the library. The library should see

an increase in revenue from this site. Based on 2020 JCPL revenue from property taxes, local

income taxes, vehicle/aircraft excise taxes, fines, and fees, the average revenue per person is

approximately $56.75. This calculation is based on $6,648,354.77(2020 revenue) divided by

119,262 persons (estimated 2020 library population served by JCPL).

The Clark Pleasant Community School Corporation will see an increase in enrollment as the

property transitions from agricultural use to Residential Multi-Unit Complex. Approximately 19.5

percent of the population of Greenwood is school–age children (source:

https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/greenwoodcityindiana). Since the development is

anticipated to be completed first year after annexation, the total number of new school age

children generated by this development are shown in table below.

Currently the revenue to the school in the form of property tax is $802.28 per year. As the

property is developed, this revenue is projected to increase. Future revenue is based on an

assessed value of $24,000,000 with a tax rate of 1.6749 resulting in $401,976 for the total built-

out development (Year 3) and assumes 50% build out on Year 2.

The Clark Pleasant Community School Corporation FY2020 per pupil amount spent on instruction

from federal/state/local funds was $5,775.90. Based on this amount, the anticipated cost to the
