ITEM:

Public hearing and discussion only regarding Annexation No. A-2019-01 a proposed annexation of territory contiguous to the municipal boundaries of the City of San Luis to include the area of southern Yuma County as shown on the map for annexation recorded at No. 2019-07705 Annexation of the Yuma County Recorder's Office on March 28, 2019.  (Jose A. Guzman, Director of Planning & Zoning and Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney) 

A.  Motion to open public hearing.
     1.  Presentation by staff.
     2.  Call to the public to take all written and oral public comments on this item.
B. Motion to close public hearing.

SUMMARY:

To start the annexation process, the City of San Luis recorded a blank petition for annexation of territory, Annexation No. A-2019-01 on March 28, 2019.  A copy of a blank petition together with the legal description and a map is attached to this item.  
 
The city noticed this public hearing by 
(1) advertising in the Yuma Sun,
(2) mailing to all taxpayers of property taxes within the proposed annexation territory, and
(3) posting at three (3) places within the proposed territory. 
 
By law, the city must hold a public hearing within thirty (30) days of the recording of the blank petition; this is that hearing.  No action needs to be taken after the hearing, and therefore none is proposed.
 
If the Council desires to take some action, the Mayor and Council can direct staff to place it for consideration on a future agenda.  If the city were to withdraw the proposed annexation, A.R.S. 9-471(A) requires a forty-five (45) day waiting period before the city can file another proposed annexation for the same territory. 
 
Signatures cannot be gathered until April 28, 2019.  The City has one (1) year (until March 27, 2020) to gather sufficient signatures.  The Petition must have more than half of the number of property taxpayers and more than half of the assessed valuation within the proposed territory.  Once this is done an ordinance of annexation can be adopted. 

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

A. I MOVE TO OPEN PUBLIC HEARING.
     1. Presentation by Staff
     2. Call to the public to take all written and/or oral public comments on this item.
B. I MOVE TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING.
