A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER ALASKA AMENDING THE STREET AND HOUSE NUMBERING PLAN TO PROVIDE THAT AREAS ANNEXED TO THE CITY AFTER 1 JANUARY 2000 WILL USE THE KENAI PENISULA BOROUGH LOT NUMBERING STREET ADDRESSING SYSTEM.

WHEREAS, The City has recently annexed a large area containing over 1500 residents which are using the Kenai Peninsula Borough lot numbering street addressing system; and

WHEREAS, To achieve a system compatible with Geographic Information System requirements for use of the 911 emergency telephone system the lot/house numbers have been changed a number of times, causing substantial inconvenience to the residents; and

WHEREAS, Electronic/computer systems used in emergency response have the ability to accurately direct emergency vehicles to the proper location; and

WHEREAS, At the present time Homer has a unified fire and ambulance response system and Homer police respond to most calls in the area; and

WHEREAS, Borough GIS and 911 officials, Homer Fire and Police Chiefs, the Homer City Manager, and the Homer Postmaster all have no objection to retaining the Borough numbering system; and

WHEREAS, Homer City Code Chapter 11.12 provides for a different number system, but allows amendment by resolution; and

WHEREAS, Extension of the City system would cause confusion and inconvenience for no purpose.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that the Street and House Numbering Plan is hereby amended to provide that areas annexed to the City after January 1, 2000 will use the Kenai Peninsula Borough lot numbering street addressing system.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Homer City Council this ___ day of ______ , 2003.
