Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
K.S.A. 19-3623f provides that any land included in a fire district which is later annexed by any city shall remain a part of the fire district unless approved for detachment and exclusion from the boundaries of the fire district by the city, the fire district, and the board of county commissioners.
The Governing Body has approved Ordinance No. 18-63, annexing property into the City of Olathe which is currently within the territory of the Northwest Consolidated Fire District of Johnson County (“NWCFD”). The annexation included approximately 119 acres at the intersection of K-7 Highway and West 119th Street.
The City has negotiated the attached detachment agreement with NWCFD (Attachment A) consistent with the aforementioned statute and related statutes. This detachment agreement is substantively identical to the recent detachment agreements with Johnson County Fire District Nos. 1 & 2 in 2013, 2015, and 2017.
The board of the NWCFD has considered and approved the detachment agreement. Upon City Council approval, the Agreement will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for their approval.
________________________________________________________________________________
Financial Impact:
After the detachment takes effect, the annexed properties will no longer be subject to the NWCFD mill levy and will become subject to the full Olathe mill levy.

Action Needed:
Approve the detachment agreement with the Northwest Consolidated Fire District of Johnson County.
