Roll call was answered by the following Councilmembers: Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Reeves and Wilmarth. Absent: None Staff Members Present: Arnold, Liley, Lanspery, Krajicek and'Mabry. Ordinance Adopted on Final Reading Repealing Trilby Heights Third, Fourth, and Fifth Annexation and Zonin2 Ordinances Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: "The following four agenda -items all relate to -the -Trilby Heights-Annexa---` tions. The first ordinance is an ordinance repealing the Trilby Heights Third Annexation and those later annexations which were dependent upon Trilby Third for the necessary statutory contiguity. This ordinance is an emergency ordinance which will be effective upon passage, although publi- cation will take place within 5 days of its effective date. This needs to be done by emergency ordinance in order that the first readings on the following ordinances can be begun. The next series of annexation ordinances again annex Trilby Heights Third, Fourth and Fifth Annexations. All of these annexations are identical to those initially brought to and adopted by the City Council, with one exception. Trilby Heights Third has a new legal description which excludes the ownership interest of Poudre Valley REA. As you know, a lawsuit was recently brought by Poudre Valley REA alleging that the Trilby Heights Third Annexation was an invalid annexation because it did not include 100% of the property owners included in the annexation and also alleging other procedural defects. While we do not agree with the other allegations, in checking the ownership interests, it was discovered that Poudre Valley REA does have a small interest in the Trilby Heights Third Annexation. And, as this piece is not necessary for contiguity of the Fourth and Fifth Annexa- tions, this ownership interest has been excluded. The Ordinances zoning the three Trilby Heights annexations will be pre- sented on First Reading on September 15th." 360 `September-8, 1981 Councilmember Clarke asked that the record show he did .not •vote or par- ticipate in this item or the following three items.
