Annexation still under review; staff estimates roughly $26.28 per household could shift to Lebanon if annexation proceeds
Summary
Council discussed ongoing annexation work, the attorney's role in drafting ordinances, and a staff estimate that annexation could redirect about $26.28 per household from road-district taxes to the city; several administrative steps remain before enactment.
Chair updated the group that proposed annexation remains at the administrative stage while the city attorney prepares ordinances and coordinates with the county. "We're still it's still in discussion at the administrative level... we're basically waiting for the attorney," the chair said.
Staff described tax implications of annexation and provided a per-household estimate: "The taxes over there would actually drop $11 per road district tax per household, but that's 20 I think it was $26. $28 per household that would go to a lavish amount of money. $26.28 dollars per household that would go to, the city of Lebanon," he said (figures presented conversationally during the meeting).
Participants noted additional procedural steps — writing ordinances, notifying landowners and mapping with the county — that must occur before annexation takes effect. Council and staff also discussed related property and public-works items that could affect implementation, including road-mile calculations and mapping responsibilities. No ordinance was introduced or voted on in this meeting; staff and the attorney will continue administrative work.
