SUBJECT:

Res 24-534 Approve Annexation Agreement with Christine A. Kromm for Property in the Town of Oshkosh (4434 Island View Drive)

BACKGROUND

Christine A. Kromm, 4434 Island View Drive, in the Town of Oshkosh, has petitioned to annex her property into the City. Ms. Kromm’s private well has failed resulting in loss of her water supply to her home. Following annexation statute, the earliest date an annexation can be completed is on December 10, 2024. Since the annexation process involves Plan Commission review and Common Council action, it will most likely take well over two months. The City has offered Ms. Kromm this Annexation Agreement to connect to the City water supply before her property is officially annexed. To ensure the annexation of her property, Ms. Kromm has agreed to enter into this agreement to follow through with her annexation petition until her property is annexed into the City.

ANALYSIS

This Annexation Agreement serves as protection for the City to ensure the annexation of Ms. Kromm’s property will occur in the future. Ms. Kromm has already initiated the Annexation Process and is scheduled for the November 19, 2024 Plan Commission meeting. This agreement will allow Ms. Kromm to connect to the City’s water supply prior to completion of the annexation process as Ms. Kromm’s need for water is immediate. The City constructed water main in the Island View Drive right-of-way was installed in 1997 so access is readily available. The early connection allowance is based on Ms. Kromm committing to complete the annexation process. Ms. Kromm’s home is connected to public sanitary sewer owned by the Island View Sanitary District. Ms. Kromm will be responsible for all costs associated with connecting to the City’s water main including but not limited to City connection charges and private contractor charges.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact anticipated.

RECOMMENDATION

The City Council approves the Annexation Agreement with Christine Kromm for Utility Connection at 4434 Island View Drive.
