(A) When Metro Council receives annexation requests from suburban cities pursuant to KRS 67C.111(3), it is required to approve or deny such requests within 60 calendar days of receipt of said request.
(B) Metro Council believes that such decisions should not be made lightly due to the potentially serious effects on the impacted property owners, the impacted residents, Louisville Metro taxes, road funds, Public Works projects, and planning decisions in the area subject to annexation.
(C) The statutory period for action requires such review start as quickly as possible so that Metro Council has sufficient time to review relevant information and make an informed decision, and previous resolutions Metro Council has passed on the subject of annexations have been insufficient to ensure the process is as informative and efficient as possible.
