The City of Oconomowoc Common Council on Dec. 30, 2024, unanimously approved nine resolutions accepting petitions for direct annexation of properties located across the city, following a short presentation by city staff on parcel locations.

City staff member Mister Frey opened with a slide presentation showing the locations and resolution numbers for each parcel, saying the actions represented “a statutory step that we have to take as part of the annexation process.” The council invited questions for Mister Frey and Attorney Riffle; none were raised.

The council moved through items 4(a)–(i) individually. Each resolution was introduced by the presiding officer, moved and seconded by aldermen, and approved by roll call votes. The council recorded five affirmative votes on each resolution; Aldermen Douglas and Spiegelberg were excused and Alderman Elders was not present.
