Alder urges review of annexation for areas receiving city services; clerk to consult attorney
Summary
Alder Curt Gordon asked the council to explore annexing areas of town served by city water, suggesting a cost analysis; City Clerk Jacqueline Wilson will check with the city attorney on the legal process. No formal annexation motion was taken.
Alder Curt Gordon raised a preliminary discussion about annexing portions of town that receive city water service during the council’s Dec. 1 meeting, prompting the council to ask the city clerk to check legal procedures with the attorney.
Gordon said properties on streets such as Mitchell Drive and Kings Drive are not currently within city limits although the city provides services including plowing; he suggested a cost analysis to determine fiscal effects and said annexing the north end could help with cleanup and visual appearance for visitors. Jacqueline Wilson, city clerk, was directed to consult the attorney about the annexation process. The minutes record no motion or vote on annexation at this meeting.
The discussion is preliminary; any next steps would require staff analysis and likely a formal petition, legal review and a public hearing before council action.
