INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council review and approval, a pre -annexation agreement
with Arthur J. Fischer, property owner, in conjunction with their request to connect to
City water. This agreement and related materials are attached.

County, and as part of connecting to the City's water main, a pre -annexation agreement
must be signed. There is no plan to annex the property at this time. In accordance with
this requirement, Legal staff has prepared the attached pre -annexation agreement, with
the standard ten-year transition in City's share of property taxes as an incentive.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the Arthur J. Fischer pre -annexation
agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement on behalf of the City of
Dubuque.

Owner will reimburse City for all amounts expended by City in connection
with the Agreement, and City may take any action, including any legal
action it deems necessary, to recover such amounts from Owner;
