This opinion concerns whether a metropolitan charter may legally provide that annexation reserve agreements entered into by the principal city of the county and the smaller cities of the county before adoption of the charter survive the creation of, and will be binding upon, the metropolitan government created by that charter. Under an annexation reserve agreement, certain portions of the unincorporated area of the county are reserved for annexation by smaller cities, and the principal city agrees not to annex these territories. Under the charter provision described in the question, the metropolitan government created under the charter would be legally prevented from annexing these reserved territories into the urban services district.
