<br /> those blue area specified territories. The <br /> reason it has a ten year limit on it is in the <br /> legal perspective, if the City of Louisville <br /> gives up its ability under the current <br /> statutes under 502 to pursue an exclusion of <br /> property that has been annexed to it, there <br /> must be a time limit on the relinquishment of <br /> that authority. We put in a ten year period, <br /> there has been discussions of extending it to <br /> 15 years. <br />Klein: This agreement is part of the 502 process, by <br /> entering into this we go to the District Court <br /> together with a 502 plan which is essentially <br /> this exclusion agreement. The District Court <br /> will rule based on that. The other option is <br /> that we present our plan and you present your <br /> plan and the District Court comes together and <br /> mixes and matches until they come up with a <br /> plan that suits the courts. That is what we <br /> intended to do when we could not make any <br /> progress with the Louisville Fire Protection <br /> District. We intended to bring it into a 502 <br /> process where it would be part of the District <br /> Court and the burden would not be on our Board <br /> of Directors to make that decision for the <br /> property owners. <br />Griffiths: I would just say that there was some confusion <br /> on my part. The reason that the Paragraph 1 <br /> reads differently is that I understood this <br /> was to be a very simple reconsideration of the <br /> previous denial and an approval of that <br /> exclusion. That did not come from the City <br /> Administrator, that came from me, from my lack <br /> of understanding. If it is part of a 502 <br /> process, we have to go through the process of <br /> filing a petition with ,the District Court, <br /> publishing notice of the exclusion and paying <br /> the cost of the publication. Essentially <br /> going through the 502 process anyway. <br />Klein: We have agreed to share staff time and <br /> financial burdens on that. It was our <br /> intention that this be part of the 502 <br /> process. By going into the District Court with <br /> a plan that the municipalities and the special <br /> district agree on, there are no arguments that <br /> need to be made and no staff and attorney time <br /> that needs to be taken up by the two parties <br /> arguing for their fair share during the 502 <br /> hearing at the District Court level. <br /> 13 <br />
