(Vicinity: Southwest 8th Avenue and South Coulter Street.)

6. PRESENTATION AND CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 7721: Overview: (Contact: AJ Fawver, Planning and Zoning Director) This item is a presentation and consideration of an ordinance approving a petition to include a 109.32 acre property located approximately 4.1 miles south of Amarillo, located east of Helium Road, southwest of Dove Road, and west of White Wing Road, fully within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City of Amarillo. The attached map provides the legal description and a graphical depiction of the property under discussion. Currently, this property falls partially within the City of Amarillo's ETJ, and partially outside of it. Page 2 of the attachment includes a petition from the property owner, requesting inclusion within the City's ETJ. Section 42.022 of the Texas Local Government Code includes a provision for a municipality to expand the ETJ beyond the distance limitations established, if the area to be included is contiguous with the existing ETJ, and if the owner(s) make this request. This location, along with the petition from the owner, meet these two requirements. Section 42.022 also requires that any expansion not include areas which fall within the ETJ of another municipality, and the owner's petition verifies that this is not the case in this instance. Fully encompassing the property within the City of Amarillo's ETJ preserves the ability to develop the property within one cohesive set of development regulations and standards.

PRESENTATION AND CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 7722: Overview: (Contact: AJ Fawver, Planning and Zoning Director) This is the first reading of an ordinance annexing into the City of Amarillo, Randall County, Texas, on petition of property owner, territory generally described as a 91.334 acre tract located southeast of the city, west of the intersection of South Georgia Street and West Loop 335 South, situated in Section 231 and 232, Block 2, A.B.&M survey, and extending west/southwest adjacent to the northern line of Section 232 for a distance of 4012.31'; describing the territory annexed; finding that all necessary and required legal conditions have been satisfied; providing for amendment of the boundaries and official map of the city; approving a service plan therefore; subjecting the property situated therein to bear its pro rata part of taxes levied; providing rights and privileges as well as duties and responsibilities of inhabitants of said territory; directing the filing of the ordinance in the manner required by law; directing notice to service providers and state agencies; providing a severability clause; declaring compliance with open meetings act; and, providing an effective date.

8. ORDINANCE NO. 7717: Overview: (Contact: Mick McKamie, City Attorney) This is the second and final reading of an ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances to implement the recently amended Texas Public Information Act to allow the City to establish reasonable monthly and yearly limits on the amount of time that City personnel are required to spend producing public information for a requestor without recovering the costs attributable to that personnel time.
