| Council Discusses Pre-Annexation Agreement Including 25 Years of Taxes for the Property Owners The Agreement Complete story and video clips Loveland City Manager, Don Williams, presented Council an annexation agreement provided to the City of Loveland by the land owner of parcels near I-25 and 402. The Agreement states, "The City agrees for a period of twenty-five (25) years .....that the City will grant to the Owners.....a one percent sales and use tax..." |
| Mountain Views Farm Annexed - 1% for 20 Years Is Greatest Incentive Offered - see agreement below On January 7, the night before Loveland City Council discussed a pre-annexation agreement of property along I-25, Johnstown approved an ordinance to annex property along the 402 just across from the 97 acres recently purchased by the City of Loveland. See Greeley Tribune story. Both cities are now claiming to control 402 which means the dispute will likely go to court. In the meantime, LovelandPolitics has obtained the Mountain View Annexation agreement that Johnstown Town Council approved on first reading January 7, 2008. It differs from what Loveland City Manager has told Council such agreements will require to be approved by property owners in the area. Complete story and annexation agreements |
