Louisville City Council Meeting July 15, 2003 Page 5 of 11 character of the various urban communities and 5) ensure municipalities' ability to develop in an orderly fashion within their own influence areas. Boulder County is facilitating the countywide adoption of a cooperative umbrella agreement so that each community could recognize the comprehensive development plans of others. She stressed the Super IGA is intended to supplement, not supercede, the various comprehensive development plan IGAs. She outlined the parameters of the agreement and the associated map, which included Rural Preservation Areas, Municipal Influence Areas and Unincorporated Rural Land Areas. Boyd noted the Super IGA would become effective when all of the parties listed in the agreement have signed the agreement through an authorized representative. The Super IGA shall remain in effect for 20 years from the date of execution. However, at any time until 90 days prior to the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the agreement, any municipal party to this agreement may give notice that it intends to opt out of the agreement. All parties who have provided notice according to the specific provisions of the Super IGA shall no longer be parties to this agreement. Davidson opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to speak for or against Resolution No. 20, Series 2003. Boyd introduced Boulder County Director Dickey Lee Hullinghorst. Hullinghorst stated she was available to address Council comments or questions. City Manager Bill Simmons explained the map is a compilation of all the IGAs currently in existence between all the jurisdictions. He stated several of Louisville's IGAs are noted on the map, as well as areas of rural preservation or municipal influence. He stressed the areas reflected, as unincorporated rural land will be brought under the Super IGA. Levihn asked how the Super IGA would affect StorageTek's land for redevelopment. Simmons stated the area located on the north side of StorageTek is designated as municipal influence area. Sisk voiced his confusion with the maps' color-coding, and noted the areas of Louisville's influence are the same color as Lafayette's. Hullinghorst stated Louisville's areas of municipal influence are colored gold, and Lafayette's is a bright yellow. She stressed on the larger version of the map the color-coding clearly denotes each municipality. Brown asked Simmons to refresh his recollection on the changes made to the Super IGA. Simmons reviewed a change to reflect lands annexed by the City of Louisville and lands designated as rural preservation. Hullingshorst stated the County has the responsibility to update and revise the maps when notified by the jurisdiction and redistribute maps to the parties. 5
