contribution from the City from the proceeds of sales tax collections from
the Riverpark annexation. The funds in
this account will be used to defray the costs of annexing the districts. 3.
Limited Purpose Annexation: a.
This provision provides that the commercial areas of the Greatwood
Community will be annexed for the limited purposes of applying certain City
ordinances to the area, including: the
