"EXHIBIT B" CITY OF HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS MUNICIPAL SERVICE PLAN HWY. 75 (NORTH) INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 43 - Municipal Annexation, the City of Huntsville, Texas, has prepared this Service Plan for the delivery of municipal services to the territory proposed for annexation. The proposed tracts are all located adjacent to the present existing City limits and within the City's ETJ. Texas law establishes the concept of extra- territorial jurisdiction (ETJ) for cities based on their number of inhabitants. For cities, such as Huntsville, with between 25,000 and 50,000 inhabitants, the ETJ is two (2) miles. The city may annex up to ten percent (10 %) of its total area each year. This (10 %) may be accumulated year to year if the City does not annex additional territory or annexes less than the maximum. The City of Huntsville has not annexed any territory since 1984. The City Council of the City of Huntsville may annex thirty percent (30 %) of its ETJ boundary areas, which equals approximately 4,000 acres of non - public land in 1994. The areas contain approximately 1,206 single family residences and 44 business establishments. Based on household population figures established by the 1990 census, the approximately 1,206 single family residences are estimated to contain approximately 2.32 inhabitants per dwelling. Based on the number of houses and inhabitants, the density for the entire area is calculated to be approximately 393.52 people per square mile, compared to the City's current density of 1,345 per square mile. 1 Annexation of these areas will provide the residents in the areas with the full privileges and responsibilities associated with living in a city. Annexation should not result in any unmanageable cost expenditures to the City. Three municipal services - water distribution, tary sewage collection and solid waste collection and disposal - are directly cost recoverable through user fees. Municipal services supported by municipal taxation, such as library facilities, parks and recreational activities, are already available and used by county residents. Other tax supported services such as police protection, code enforcement, general government activities and routine street maintenance will be extended through existing programs and staff. No significant increases in municipal staff are expected in the near future as a result of these proposed annexations to the city limits alone. Using the most recent assessed values, provided by the Walker County Appraisal District, the land, improvements and personal property within all the areas proposed for annexation are valued at approximately $110,606,200 which, with a tax rate of $.3844 per $100 value, will generate $425,170 in new property tax revenues. Planning a city's growth is no easy task as social, political, economic and fiscal issues must be considered. The benefits that are derived from an annexation program are usually not ediate. It is doubtful that most annexations pay for themselves immediately. Over the long term, however, it is thought to be much more fiscally responsible to manage growth early on rather than to try and correct it 10 or 20 years after the fact. The fact is that uncontrolled growth outside the city limits will be tomorrow's problems if a city doesn't exert some control in the development process. Therefore, annexation is usually fiscally beneficial in the long term, but not in the short term. 2 GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES The City of Huntsville provides a variety of general services to the citizens of the City. In accordance with the State annexation law, the following municipal services shall be provided upon annexation of an area by the City of Huntsville: 1. Police service will be extended to the area immediately upon annexation. These activities will include normal patrols, responses, the handling of complaints and incident reports.
