Council schedules Sun Valley annexation discussion; committee to collect signatures

The council and its annexation committee scheduled a meeting to discuss possible annexation of Sun Valley and to begin gathering homeowner signatures as part of the process.

Councilor Ecker (name given as 'Councilor Ecker' in the transcript) said the annexation committee will meet on June 22 at 5 p.m. to discuss logistics and signature collection. Committee members and staff discussed outreach plans including door-to-door signature gathering across Sun Valley, boundaries noted in the meeting (Lakewood Road and Forest Brook used as local cutoffs) and use of social media to notify residents of the meeting.

Councilors said the committee will collect signatures and make a recommendation to the full council; the meeting was described as the starting point for returning an annexation recommendation to the council. No final annexation action was taken at the meeting; the item remains in committee and will return as a recommendation after citizen outreach and signature collection.
