Background:
Colorado Municipal Annexation Act of 1965 (the “Act”) requires that if a petition for annexation is in substantial compliance with C.R.S. 31-12-107(1), the City Council must set a hearing to determine whether the proposed annexation area is eligible for annexation under the state constitution and the Act. The hearing date must be no less than thirty (30) days or more than sixty (60) days after the effective date of the resolution setting the hearing. The Act also requires the City Clerk to give notice of the hearing by publishing notice for four weeks prior to the public hearing and by sending notice by registered mail to specific parties in interest. Notice of the proposed annexation may be published on the following dates: May 14, 2016, May 21, 2016, May 28, 2016 and June 4, 2016 to adhere to the statute requirements for the June 14, 2016 City Council meeting. The proposed resolution finds that the petition is in substantial compliance with C.R.S. 31-12-107(1), sets the hearing, and directs the Clerk to give notice in accord with C.R.S. 31-12-108.
The proposed resolution does not obligate the City Council to approve the annexation.
