A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS
WHEREAS, Frankfort Township and the City of Otsego have been working
cooperatively to consider a joint sewer district to provide municipal sewer services to
portions of Frankfort Township and Otsego; and
WHEREAS, Frankfort Township and the City of St Michael are considering a
possible orderly annexation agreement or consolidation; and
WHEREAS, Completion of the Otsego -Frankfort -Dayton sewer project
represents a matter of the highest priority to Otsego; and
WHEREAS, Otsego intends to locate a sewer plant in an area which is
downstream of the area of Frankfort east of Highway 1-94. This sewer plant would be the
logical location to provide sewer services to this area.

already included in the Albertville City limits; section 12 lying north of the Crow River.
3. Otsego has already stated its position in the existing annexation proceedings
before the Board that portions of Frankfort can best be served by Otsego. The Mayor and
Clerk may cause the City to clarify its position statement in current Municipal Board
identifying this area as appropriate for annexation, or to initiate additional proceedings to
accomplish this objective.
4. The parties entitled to notice under Section 414.09, in addition to Otsego are:

5, The City of Otsego abuts and is contiguous to the petitioned area. The area is,
or is about to become urban or suburban, is in need of municipal services and is
presently under consideration by the Municipal Board to determine the appropriate city
which should provide those services. Otsego is in the best position to provide those
services by reason of the regional treatment facility planned for this region. Municipal
government is required to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and annexation
would be in the best interests of the affected property.
Dated this 18TH day of June, 1996.
