(a) The City Manager may administratively establish and modify as needed an application fee for the processing of an annexation petition. In setting such fee, the City Manager shall consider the costs incurred by the City in reviewing and processing the annexation and obtaining necessary data, studies, and reports. No petition shall be processed unless accompanied by the applicable application fee and such petition shall be deemed incomplete until such fee is paid in full.
(b) The City may require as a condition of annexation the payment of additional amounts by the petitioners or others deemed necessary, beneficial, or advantageous by the City, including but not limited to payments to offset anticipated costs or expenses of providing services to the annexed property or residents of the annexed area, mitigate anticipated impacts to the annexed area or to surrounding lands, to upgrade infrastructure within the City or to defray any costs or expenses of the City.
(c) The City may waive all or any portion of a fee or charge for annexation where the Board of Trustees administratively finds in its sole discretion that the proposed annexation will provide substantial benefits or advance important economic or other goals and objectives of the City.
