    |
0010|               A.  A petition that seeks the annexation of

    |
0012|     two hundred thousand persons located in a class A county shall

0023|     comments shall be submitted to the city council within thirty
    |
0024|     days of receipt.
    |
0025|               C.  The city council shall by ordinance approve or
    |
0001|     disapprove the annexation of the territory unless the petition
    |
0002|     for annexation is not signed by a majority of the owners of

    |
0025|     thousand persons and located in a class A county shall not force a
    |
0001|     resident or business located in the unincorporated area of the
    |
0002|     county to agree to annexation as a condition of extending sewer
    |
0003|     and water service to that person or business, if that sewer or
    |
0004|     water service extension is paid for all or in part by federal,
    |
0005|     state or county money.  The municipality may make agreement to
    |
0006|     annexation a condition of extending sewer and water service if the
    |
0007|     extension of the service is paid for entirely with municipal
    |
