WHEREAS, the City of Georgetown is deeply concerned with any legislative attempt to change the
current State Law regarding Annexation, and
WHEREAS, annexation should be a local governmental tool decided by the local governing body
who were elected by the people to make those difficult local land use and economic decisions, and
WHEREAS, the current annexation process does allow feedback, comment and input from affected
property owners, and
WHEREAS, the City of Georgetown has recently adopted a Comprehensive Annexation Policy and
Procedure to objectively evaluate and plan for future growth in on organized, incremental, and
contiguous fashion, and
WHEREAS, the effect of modifying current State Annexation Law could actually have an adverse
effect, and may cause more sprawl, disorganized planning, and rampant development across
Texas, and
WHEREAS, the City has followed and supports the changes that were made in 1999 by the State
Legislature regarding annexations and any further attempts to modify or amend at this time are
unjustified and unwarranted.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
GEORGETOWN, TEXAS, THAT:
The City of Georgetown is very concerned about any and all attempts to modify current
Texas Annexation Law and vehemently opposes any legislative attempt to change current
annexation law.
RESOLVED this 251h day of February 2003.
