BACKGROUND At the August 22 , 2001 City Council meeting, the City annexed property being developed by School District U-46 locat-ed on Hopps Road west of Randall Road. Because the school' s property is not contiguous with the current Fox River Water Reclamation District limits, an intergovernmental agreement has been required by the Fox River Water Reclamation District for provisions of service and the collection of fees .

LEGAL IMPACT The Legal Department has reviewed the attached agreement . ALTERNATIVES 1 . Approve the agreement . Sewer service will be provided. 2 . Deny the agreement . Fox River Water Reclamation District will not serve the school and therefore . sewer service will not be provided.
