This legislation authorizes counties to petition, after the adoption of a resolution, cities within the county to annex unincorporated islands within their jurisdiction. If the city fails to annex those islands within six months, the county is authorized to undertake mediation (using the current annexation arbitration process within the Department of Community Affairs). The arbitration panel then meets with the county and city and will render a recommendation within 90 days. Either party that does not agree to carrying out that recommendation is required to pay the full costs and expenses of the other party for the mediation.
