City Council <br />Study Session Summary <br />April 22, 2019 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Steps can be taken so that notice is not lost in the closing paperwork. But <br />these steps only work for the 1st buyer, when house is resold, no way to <br />know if it has been communicated beyond the 1st transaction. <br />Council member Lipton said he is not sure a municipality would have the <br />authority to require disclosure in subsequent transactions. <br />Policy Issues were discussed such as whether a metro district can erode <br />the power of a City Council to determine the City's direction. The metro <br />district can be invisible and City can become focus of complaints. Metro <br />district's own mill levy can impact the City's ability to pass levies. <br />Council member Maloney asked if we would we want different service plans <br />based on different land use? Would like Butler Snow recommendations. It <br />may be case by case. Is there negotiation on a service plan? Staff will <br />review and assess what is provided by the developer, and make <br />recommendations. <br />You can have an HOA in a metro district. <br />Public questions— how is this integrated into land use process? A service <br />plan approval does not compel City Council to approve the land use <br />application. <br />Are there any statistics on how many districts pay off bonds? No bonds <br />known that have defaulted. There have been restructurings. <br />Have cities decided to not approve metro districts? Some approve many <br />metro districts, some not at all, depends on strategies and how you see <br />growth. <br />Any legislative initiatives? There are some in the works. <br />III.
