Annexation Fiscal Plan Area 28 - 2 Parcels on 136z Street (Owners: Dehne, Ricketts) (Parcels No. 17-10-19-00-00-006.000 & 17r10-19-00-00-007.000) This Fiscal Plan may be inspected at the Departmem of Community Services, located on the 3*d floor of City Hall, Carmel, IN. Copies of the Fiscal Plan are available to the public for a fee in accordance with city ordinances. Questions related to this annexation can be directed to Michael Hollibaugh, Director, Department of Community Services, City of Cannel (317-571-2417). Executive SummarY of Annexation Impact Summary of Fiscal Impact The following table summarizes the properties involved in the proposed annexation and the property tax burden on that property, according to the "Online Tax Report" obtained fi.om the Hamilton County website. parcel # taxable value 2002 property taxes zoning area 17-10-19-00-00-006.000 $87,100 $830 s-1 1.2 17-]0-19-00-00-007.000 $74,100 $641 s-1 1.2 totals $161,200 $1,471 2.4 projected property tax increase $176 $221 resulting from annexation (Iow-high) Annexation of the above properties is projected to result in an overall increase in the total property tax bills of the parcels, as shown above, which represents a projected tax impact of 12%-15%. The final amount of this tax increase will depend upon several factors, possibly including: the final, approved budgets (and subsequent property tax rates) of the county, township, and city of Carmel; any changes to the financial configuration of the j oinder agreements between the City and township (especially changes relating to the Parks and Fire joinders); and the final disposition of property tax issues currently being studied by the Indiana General Assembly. Contiguity The annexation territory is almost completely surrounded by and nearly 100% contiguous with the corporati~ boundaries of the City of Carmel. Proportion Subdivided The annexation territory is entirely the result of the subdivision process. Although the parcels, Area #28 Annexation Fiscal Planl2 Parcel along 136th Street: Carmel, IN themselves, may not have been a part of a developed subdivision, research into county land records suggests that these parcels are remnants resulting from subdividing larger parcels for the purpose of residential development. As such, the parcels are themselves subdivided from larger parcels, thereby making the annexation area more than 60% subdivided from larger parcels. Annexed Population The proposed annexation will include a nominal amount of additional population, amounting to a population increase of less than 0.1%. Consequently, the annexation is not projected to have any appreciable impact on population-based revenue streams of the City. Annexed Streets & Roads Thc annexation area is estimated to add less than 0.3 miles of streets and roads to the municipal thoroughfare system which contains approximately 204 miles of local streets and roads. Therefore, the projected fiscal impact of the proposed annexation on the street department is estimated to be less than 0.2% on the revenue streams related to thoroughfare miles. Summary of Municipal Service Impact The proposed annexation involves properties which are already receiving a full complement of municipal services, including capital and non-capital services of the Street Department, Fire Department, Police Department, city administration (including planning), and municipal utilities. Some of these municipal services are provided through joinder agreements with the township. All municipal services will be provided to the annexation territory in a manner equivalent to the provision of services to other parcels within the corporate limits. DEPARTMENTAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY JOINDER Many municipal services of the City of Carmel are offered through a joinder agreement with Clay Township. The following services are provided through joinder agreements: fire protection, parks, planning/zoning/community development services, and the communications center. Since these joinder services are provided inside and outside of the corporate limits of the City, the proposed annexation will generate no measurable fiscal impact on the operation of these joinder departments. Instead, the revenues associated with these departments will simply be transferred from thc township budget to thc municipal budget, thereby generating no net impact on thc taxpayer. IMPACT ON POLICE DEPARTMENT The projected fiscal impact of the annexation on the police department is projected to be negligible. Carmel Police already patrol the corridors serving the property in the annexation territory, as well as answering calls for service in the area. As a purely technical matter, ifa crime or a call for service were to occur on the property within the annexation territory, the City Police are supposed to defer to the County Sheriff. However, as a practical matter, the technical minutia of such jurisdictional issues is projected to actually cost more than it is worth to enforce. In fact, the annexation will probably result in a cost savings to the municipality due to clarification of such jurisdictional minutia. However, the only way there would be an y Area #28 Annexation Fiscal Planl2 Parcel along 136t' Street: Carmel, IN 2 difference in the cost of municipal police service would be ifa crime were to occur directly on the annexed parcels, which is an extremely unlikely occurrence, in statistical terms. Therefore, the projected impact on municipal police services is negligible. IMPACT ON STREET DEPARTMENT The projected impact of the proposed annexation on the municipal operation of the Street Department is estimated to be $0, due to the fact that the entire thoroughfare corridor is already serviced by the Carmel Street Department. IMPACT ON MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION The projected impact of the proposed annexation on the departments involved in municipal administration is projected to also be $0. The practicality of the matter is that citizens in the annexation territory are already free to request administrative services of the City, including phone calls to the Mayor and City Council, which are treated with respect and given appropriate response. IMPACT ON MUNICIPAL UTILITIES All of the parcels within the annexation territory will be afforded full utility services, including capital and non-capital water and sewer utility services precisely in accordance with the standard practices of the city utility ordinances, and in accordance with the systems of rates and charges which are administered by the utility departments. Legal Description of the Annexation Area The annexation territory consists of the parcels numbered 17-10-19-00-00-007.000 & 17-10-19- 00-00-006.000, as well as any previously un-annexed roadway right of way adjacent thereto. Provision of Municipal Services Non-Capital services which are not covered under the joinder agreement with Clay Township will be provided within one year of the effective date of the annexation action. Within the context of the City of Carmel and its joinder service provisions, the non-capital services would include road maintenance by the Street Department and police protection by the Carmel Police Department. Non-capital service costs will be paid through the annual revenues of the City, including property tax revenues and other municipal revenues, as appropriate. Capital services which are not covered by the joinder service agreements will be provided within 3 years of the effective date of the annexation. At this time, capital services are already provided to the annexation area and no additional capital services are projected to be required by the annexation area. If capital services are later identified as necessary and appropriate under the municipal service policies of the municipality, such capital services will be covered through the issuance of some form of municipal debt.
