RESOLUTION NO. 104-00
A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE GRAND JUNCTION CITY COUNCIL AND THE MESA COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AMENDING THE 201 SEWER SERVICE BOUNDARY BY ADDING CERTAIN LANDS TO AND DELETING CERTAIN LANDS FROM THE SEWER SERVICE AREA
RECITALS:
On October 13, 1998, the Mesa County Board of Commissioners (“BOCC”) and the Grand Junction City Council (“City Council”) entered into an intergovernmental agreement known as the Persigo Agreement. The Persigo Agreement is a landmark because it represents a first of its kind, coordinated response and approach to growth management policy by the BOCC and the City Council. The policies as expressed in the Persigo Agreement are to be implemented, logically and rationally, through the Persigo Sewer System and the provision of sewer service to areas designated as and appropriate for development.
One of the goals of the Agreement is to encourage connection of all properties within the 201 Sewer Service Area (“201 Area”) to the Persigo Sewer System. As part of the Persigo Agreement the BOCC and the City Council were to meet, confer and agree within one year of the Agreement, on the boundary of the 201 Area.
Also required by the Persigo Agreement is that the City Council and the BOCC act jointly regarding any changes to the 201 Area, with the changes to be formally adopted by both the City Council and the BOCC.
In Section 12 of the Agreement, the BOCC and the City Council agreed that any property within the 201 Area should eventually develop at an urban level of density and the City Council and the BOCC are to act to amend the 201 Area to implement that principle.
Various other sections in the Agreement refer to the 201 Area and the importance of the 201 Area boundary in implementing the growth plans of the City and the County. Establishing and maintaining the 201 Area is of vital importance to the success of the Persigo Agreement.
In order to fully and successfully implement the Persigo Agreement certain lands need to be added to the existing 201 Area and certain lands need to be deleted from the 201 Area. The City Council and the BOCC find that the lands depicted and described in the attached exhibit are added to or deleted from the 201 Area for various reasons including, but not limited to:
(a) Land that is unsuitable for development, proximity to the airport runways, lands serviced by existing sewage treatment facilities, undeveloped lands that will remain rural in character, and lands served by sewer but out of the 201 Area.
(b) That the additions and deletions are taken in consideration of and as part of the obligation to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION AND THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MESA COUNTY, COLORADO THAT:
On November 13, 2000 the City Council and the BOCC, met, conferred and agreed that in compliance with and furtherance of the purposes of the Persigo Agreement, the 201 Area is hereby amended in accordance with and pursuant to Exhibit A, motions for 201 Boundary Amendments, November 13, 2000, attached to and made a part hereof.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the permanent record reflect that the foregoing described amendment occurred in joint session of the BOCC and the City Council, after adequate and sufficient public notice of a public meeting, that public testimony was had and that acting with full legal authority this Joint Resolution was passed and adopted by and as an official act of the City Council of the City of Grand Junction and the Board of County Commissioners of Mesa County.
This resolution shall be effective immediately.
Adopted this 13th day of November , 2000.
