1. CONSIDERATION OF CONSENT BY CITY TO ALLOW LAND INTO THE
COLONY MUNICIPAL DISTRICT #1.
Mr. Hart advised the Council that this annexation corresponds
with the annexation of the approximate 1100 acres now owned by
International Business Machines. He did recommend the approval
of this consent to enable the M.U.D. to annex this land into
the district prior to January 1, 1980 for tax purposes.
Mr. Forrest, Director of the Utility District, advised the Council
that the approximate 86 acres south of State Highway #121 owned
by IBM cannot be annexed until a release is obtained from Hebron,
Mr. Forrest said that IBM will apply for an agricultural exemption
which will lower the land value from $6000 to $300 per acre;
however, when it is developed back, taxes must be paid. After
further discussion, Councilman Shipman moved to approve the
resolution allowing land to be annexed into The Colony M.U.D.
