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 £mancial configuration of the joinder agreements between the City and township (especially changes relating to the Parks and Fire joinders); and the final implementation of property tax changes made by the Indiana General Assembly during the 2002 Spring Session, as well as on-going statewide re-assessment. Contiguity The annexation territory is substantially more than 12.5% contiguous with the corporate boundaries of the City of Carmel. Proportion Subdivided The annexation territory is entirely the result of the subdivision process. As such, these parcels are themselves subdivided from larger parcels, thereby making the annexation area more than 60% subdivided. Annexed Population The proposed annexation will include a nominal amount of additional population, (estimated to be approximately 150 people) amounting to a population increase of less than 1%. Consequently, the annexation is not projected to have significant impact on population-based revenue streams of the City. Annexed Streets & Roads The annexation area is estimated to add approximately 1.1 miles of streets and roads to the municipal thoroughfare system which contains a total of approximately 215 miles of local streets and roads. The streets in the area were developed nnder development standards without curbs and sidewalks. Therefore, the City will install no curbs and/or sidewalks in the area after annexation. The City will, however, assume responsibility for replacing defective street signs in accordance with City policy. Therefore, the projected fiscal impact of the proposed annexation on the street department is estimated to be less than 0.3% on the expenses and revenue streams related to thoroughfare miles. It should be noted, however, that Carmel has a number of pending annexations which collectively add potentially significant miles of city street and the costs will accrue. Summary of Municipal Service Impact The proposed armexation involves properties which are already receiving a substantial complement of municipal services, including some capital and non-capital services of the Stteet 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 SER~CES PROVIDED BY JOINDER The following services are provided through joinder agreements: fire protection, parks, planning/zoning/community development services, and thc communications center. Since these joinder services arc 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 the township budget to the municipal budget, thereby generating no net impact on the 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 major corridors serving the property in the annexation territory, as well as answering calls for service in the general 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, ln fact, the annexation will probably result in a cost savings to the municipaliiy due to clarification of such jurisdictional minutia. However, the only way there would be any practical difference in the cost of municipal police service would be if a crime were to occur directly on one of these parcels, which is an extremely unlikely occurrence, in statistical terms. Therefore, the projected impact on municipal police services is estimated to be negligible. IMPACT ON STREET DEPARTMENT The projected impact of the proposed annexation on the municipal operation of the Street Department is estimated to cause additional expenses of approximately 0.3% to the Carmel Street Department, due to the local streets added by the annexation. IMPACT ON MUNICIPAL .4DMINISTRATION The projected impact of the proposed annexation on thc depamnents involved in municipal administration is projected to also be $0. The practicality of the matter is that citizens in the annexation territory arc already free to request administrative services of the City, including phone calls to the Mayor and City Council and offering testimony at public meetings, which are treated with respect and given appropriate response. IMPACT ON MUNICIPAL UTILITIES All of the parcels within the annexation territory currently have access to full utility services, as specifically provided by the City's annexation policies, 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. The Utility Department estimates the cost of installing water and sewer services in the annexation area to be $0. 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, sewer and water capital services have been provided to the parcels within 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, with costs to be repaid by property owners in the annexation area, as specified in the City's annexation policies. Other Considerations Land Use The annexation area is currently dominated by medium-density residential development. Population Density Due to the fact that annexation area is a residential subdivision and having larger parcels, the population density cannot be precisely determined with available data. Needed & Can Be Used The annexation area is needed by the mumcipality for its development at the present time and in the reasonably near future. The municipality already provides many municipal services to the annexation area, as well as reviewing/approving development proposals for land in and near the area. Annexing Territory 100% Contiguous with the City The City of Carmel previously approved annexation policies which specifically addressed areas of 100% contiguity with the City, as follows: "As Carmel bbS developed, there have been areas left outside of its corporate limits which are approaching 100% contiguity (i.e. completely surrounded by the city). A recent map of the incorporated city shows several such areas east of Spring Mill Road. It is, therefore, the policy of the city that such areas be considered for annexation at the earliest practical time, with appropriate consideration of the cost of services to each specific area." This annexation is specifically undertaken due to this policy. Annexation of Indebtedness In any annexation action, the City of Carmel will comply with all statutory requirements regarding the absorption of debt incurred by the unincorporated township for the purpose of providing municipal services to the annexation territory.
