A.
All
extensions of municipal services beyond the corporate limits of the
City of Eldon be undertaken only where these persons or entities requesting
such extensions either:
1.
Request annexation by a verified petition of all property owners
of record, or
2.
If the persons or entities requesting service are unable to annex
due to the property affected not being contiguous to the City limits
of the City of Eldon, said persons or entities entering into a contract
for the provision of these services by the City of Eldon with said
persons or entities agreeing to annex into the City immediately upon
the property served by the utility service becoming contiguous to
the City limits with said contract expressly to act as the verified
petition requesting annexation. In the event of a conflict between
exurban areas requesting services and the ability of the City to provide
such services due to the cost of extension of the requested services
in light of the monies available in the City budget and the needs
of areas within the City, areas requesting services shall receive
such extensions based upon the following prioritization:
a.
Services shall first be extended to areas requesting annexation by
a verified petition of all property owners of record within the area;
b.
Services shall next be extended to areas in Miller County if the
persons or entities requesting service are unable to annex due to
the property affected not being contiguous to the City limits, said
persons or entities entering into a contract for the provision of
these services by the City with said persons or entities agreeing
to annex into the City immediately upon the property served by the
utility service becoming contiguous to the City limits with said contract
expressly to act as the verified petition requesting annexation.
B.
It
is further declared to be the policy of the Board of Aldermen of Eldon,
Missouri, that no service be extended to areas outside the City where
the person or entity requesting services refuses to accept appropriate
City standards and pay all costs of such extension. Except that the
City may elect to participate in the cost of said extension if the
City determines that it is in the best interest of the City to require
oversized facilities to accommodate future growth. The City's participation
shall be limited to the difference in cost between the oversized facilities
and the facilities originally necessary to provide this extension.
C.
It
is further declared to be the policy of the City that no service shall
be extended beyond the corporate limits of Eldon where an area within
the corporate limits has an existing need for such services and where
the extension of the requested services would compete for monies otherwise
needed for extension within the City.
D.
It is further declared that those areas as identified in either Section 700.020(A)(2) shall be charged a fee for those extended services 1.3 times the rates as shown in Section 715.060.
E.
No
extensions will be made until the effected property owners provide
the City with all necessary easements.
F.
Mutual
aid and service agreements with political subdivisions of this State
or wholesale corporate consumers shall not be governed by the provisions
