40,A 5 • MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUN iA. FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO i .4 ), DATE: MARCH 28, 1990 SUBJECT: ANNEXATION City Councilmember Gary Quick requested that I investigate the issue of the City annexing that portion of land involved in the New Highway 10/610 project between the center line of existing County Road J and the center line of the proposed realigned County Road J. Minnesota Statutes 414 regulates the incorporation, detachment, or annexation of incorporated and unincorporated lands within the State of Minnesota. Specifically, M.S. 414.061, copy attached, addresses the issue of concurrent detachment and annexation of incorporated land. This section provides that either by resolution of both municipalities involved in the detachment and annexation process or a petition of all property owners, the municipal board may order detachment of incorporated lands from one municipality and concurrent annexation to the abutting municipality. This • process, if begun by resolution of the two cities, may be accomplished by order of the municipal board, however, if begun by means of a petition of all property owners, the municipal board must conduct a public hearing prior to the detachment and annexation decision being made. Any decisions of the municipal board are appealable to the district court pursuant to 414.07. After reviewing State Statutes I contacted staff members of the municipal board who confirmed that the aforementioned statutory sections are the only ones which apply to this situation. By means of a faxed copy of this memorandum and a ac en s • 1 y . or ey ' a =y An - • - ^ and conclusions prior to your work session on the evening of April 2nd. Should the Council wish to pursue the issue of annexation, it would seem appropriate for the City of Mounds View to enter into discussions with the City of Blaine to determine their position on this matter. Your direction would be appreciated. DFP/MJS 411
