4.
ANNEXATION AND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS
The issue of interlocal agreements was discussed by the Board at the February 28
th
Comprehensive Plan EAR workshop. At that time, the Board asked about the status of interlocal
agreements which the County has been pursing with the Cities for the past 2 years. In brief,
Sanibel, some areas of mutual interest were identified as well as several differences (see attached
list). Some of these issues are already addressed through existing interlocal agreements, while
others can be handled through ongoing coordination. Other issues, in particular, future
annexation or urban service areas, are not areas of agreement.
If the Board wants to continue to pursue interlocal agreements, they should be topic-specific
separate agreements depending on the issue. (The County will keep existing and future
interlocals in a centrally located website of file.) With regard to annexations, if the Board wants
to pursue agreements, staff recommends “scaled-down” annexation agreements that address
Statute Chapter 171 are limited and lack information. It does not appear from prior meetings
with the Cities that there will be agreement on annexation maps or urban reserve areas with at
least 3 cities.
OPTION:
1. Pursue scaled-down annexation interlocal agreements which would only address earlier
notification and more information.
2. Do not pursue scaled-down interlocal agreements.
3. Pursue separate interlocal agreements on an as needed basis for specific topics.
4. Propose charter amendments regarding voluntary annexations.
5. Coordinate annexation issues through the Cities’ Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and
Appraisal process.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Options 3 and 5.

Community Development Planning Director Paul O’Connor reviewed the item and stated that agreement on the issue
of lands that are appropriate for annexation was not reached with the three (3) largest cities; and recommended pursuit
of interlocal agreements on an as-needed basis and to work with the cities as they go through their Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) to address annexation issues. Commissioner Hall voiced disagreement and stated that this
should not be looked at as a side issue. Board discussion ensued with Interim County Attorney Andrea Fraser
responding to Board questions. Commissioner Manning requested further detail on the recommended options be
provided at the next M& P meeting. Board consensus was reached that County Manager Karen Hawes further
