10 to the three parcels that will be created by the road construction. The

12 Credit Union parcel to enable it to provide water and sewer services to
13 all three parcels.

17 and town agree to share the resulting economic benefits related to
18 certain property annexed from the town into the city.
19 S 3. Any such agreement, or any amendments to the agreement, must be
20 approved by each municipality by a majority vote of the voting strength
21 of its governing body.
