Based on the study provided for in § 9-4-4.1 , the governing body may adopt a resolution of intent to extend its boundaries. The resolution, in municipalities of one thousand or more as determined in the last federal census, shall contain the following:

(1)The description and boundaries of the territory to be annexed;

(2)That ample and suitable resources exist to accommodate the orderly growth or development of the contiguous territory;

(3)That municipal utilities and a major street network are considered in terms of the proposed boundary extension and that there is a definite timetable upon which municipal service will be extended into the contiguous territory;

(4)The approximate cost of the extended service to the residents of the contiguous territory and the municipality;

(5)The estimated difference in tax assessment rate for the residents in the contiguous territory;

(6)That exclusions and irregularities in boundary lines are not the result of arbitrariness;

(7)That there is reasonable present or demonstrable future need for annexing the contiguous territory; and

(8)That population and census data indicate that the municipality has or may experience growth or development beyond its present boundaries.
