Includes annexation election. It is the legislative intent that the term “special municipal elections” as contained in the municipal election code extends to annexation elections. City of Aspen v. Howell, 170 Colo. 82 , 459 P.2d 764 (1969).   The municipal election code applies to elections under the annexation act to the extent that its terms are not inconsistent with the specific provisions of the annexation act. City of Aspen v.

The board of trustees of a town may dispense with the reporting of the hearing as provided in this section and substitute in lieu thereof minutes summarizing the presentation of each speaker and describing the proceedings of the hearing. In the event that any proceedings are commenced for judicial review of an annexation in which this subsection (3) has been followed, the provisions of section 31-12-116 (5) shall be applicable.

Since § 31-12-109 is similar to former § 31-8-109 prior to the 1975 repeal and reenactment of this title, and laws antecedent thereto, relevant cases construing those provisions have been included in the annotations to this section.   A city council can take official notice of all maps, records, and other pertinent information within a city's files to insure a fair disposition of an annexation controversy. Pomponio v. City of Westminster, 178 Colo. 80 , 496 P.2d 999 (1972).   Subsection (2) complied with. Where stenographic notes of an annexation hearing were made by a reporter who attended the hearing and died shortly thereafter, and the notes were transcribed and certified by a different reporter even though the certification was not made by the attending reporter there was no failure of compliance with rule 80, C.R.C.P., and subsection (2).

 If the resolution of the governing body adopted pursuant to section 31-12-110 determines that the applicable provisions of section 30 of article II of the state constitution and sections 31-12-104 and 31-12-105 have been met, and further determines that an election is not required under section 31-12-107 (2) , and does not determine that additional terms and conditions are to be imposed, the governing body may thereupon annex the area proposed to be annexed by ordinance.

Since § 31-12-111 is similar to former § 31-8-111 prior to the 1975 repeal and reenactment of this title, and laws antecedent thereto, relevant cases construing those provisions have been included in the annotations to this section.   A state has broad discretion in determining the procedures for effectuating annexation. Adams v. City of Colo. Springs, 308 F. Supp. 1397 (D. Colo.), aff'd mem., 399 U.S. 901, 90 S. Ct. 2197, 26 L. Ed. 2d 555 (1970).   Variance in description of deleted territory not fatal. A variation from requirements imposed by city charter or statutory authority is not fatal and does not render void an ordinance of annexation where variance in the descriptions deleting some territory is immaterial as to the area remaining. Adams v. City of Colo. Springs, 178 Colo. 241 , 496 P.2d 1005 (1972).   And appellants are not deprived of due process because of the variance, for the general assembly may give to municipalities the power to annex upon any condition it chooses to impose. Adams v. City of Colo. Springs, 178 Colo. 241 , 496 P.2d 1005 (1972).   It is clearly within the power of a city to require the payment of the annexation fees as a condition of annexation. City of Aurora v. Andrew Land Co., 176 Colo. 246 , 490 P.2d 67 (1971).   Municipal ordinance may require an election even if its governing body determines that the other requirements of the act have been met. Minch v. Town of Mead, 957 P.2d 1054 (Colo. App. 1998).   Authority for assessing certain fees. Authority for assessing fees for water development and sanitary sewer taps may be found not only in an annexation petition, but also in an annexation ordinance. City of Aurora v. Andrew Land Co., 176 Colo. 246 , 490 P.2d 67 (1971).   By city ordinance. The city council under its general powers can enact an ordinance which itself fixes the fees to be charged in a particular annexation proceedings. City of Aurora v.

 Any municipality, as a condition precedent to the supplying of municipal services pursuant to contract, may require a contemporary agreement by such consumers, who are owners in fee of real property so supplied, to apply for or consent to the annexation of the area to be supplied with such municipal services to the supplying municipality at such future date as the area supplied, or any portion thereof, becomes eligible for annexation pursuant to the provisions of this part 1. The agreement to annex shall be enforceable by an action for specific performance filed in the district court of the judicial district containing all or part of the supplying municipality. A memorandum of such agreement, setting forth the names of the owners in fee of real property supplied and the legal description of such area, shall be recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder of the county in which such area is located and shall constitute constructive notice of such agreement to all persons not parties thereto. In no event shall the board of directors of any quasi-municipal corporation organized under part 5 or 6 of article 25 of this title, article 8 of title 29, part 2 of article 20 of title 30, or title 32 (except article 8), C.R.S., or any other law of this state be permitted to obligate or require property owners within any such district to sign any such agreement in order to obtain water service from a municipality.

This and the following sections have a single object - the dissolution of incorporated towns and cities for the purpose of annexing their territory to another city. In a word, the object is annexation, and the dissolution is preliminary to, and inseparable from, annexation; and those provisions which prescribe the means and procedure to be pursued, are incidental or auxiliary to the same end, so, also, the remaining provisions are dependent upon and follow the accomplishment of the single object, annexation.
