A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
APACHE JUNCTION,ARIZONA,DECLARING ITS OPPOSITION TO SENATE

invest within various regions differently,some regions having sub-
stantial part -year and/or absentee landowners;and
WHEREAS,in some outlying areas beyond municipal boundaries
there may be substantial small lots having many owners;and
WHEREAS,the existing formula and signature requirements create
a substantial difficulty and appear to be fair and equitable considering
the overall Arizona circumstance;and
WHEREAS,rules made too difficult to comply with may prohibit
a future annexation in a time of need to resolve a potential or
existing health and/or safety hazard to the detriment of residents
living in the area because absentee landowners either could not
be contacted or would not provide their signatures;
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Apache Junction,Arizona,that i t is in opposition to the passage
by the Arizona State Legislature of Senate Bill 1150 pertaining
