Any municipality annexing land needs sound agreements to control growth and assure adequate financial contributions. This handbook provides the guidance necessary to execute those agreements, plus treatment of zoning and subdivision regulations. It also deals with such issues as general business and liquor licensing, cable and wireless communications, eminent domain, public utilities, and adult uses.
