Tumwater schedules June 2 hearing on Black Lake/Belmore Road Southwest annexation
Summary
Associate planner Dana Bowers told the General Government Committee May 20 that Resolution R2026‑00004 will be scheduled for a June 2 council hearing; the annexation covers two parcels under 10 acres and will proceed to the Thurston County Boundary Review Board before final adoption.
Dana Bowers, an associate planner for the City of Tumwater, presented Resolution R2026‑00004 on May 20 and asked the committee to place the Black Lake/Belmore Road Southwest annexation on the June 2, 2026 City Council meeting for a public hearing and consideration with a recommendation for adoption.
Bowers said the annexation involves two parcels totaling just under 10 acres. She told the committee the council previously accepted the proposed annexation, required assumption of indebtedness by the annexed properties, and set zoning for the area; this resolution schedules the council hearing so the Thurston County Boundary Review Board will have a record of the council’s action during its review.
When asked about fiscal effects, Bowers said annexations typically do not reflect an upfront cost; instead, tax revenues generally flow to the city and the annexed properties are required to assume existing indebtedness. Committee members had no substantive questions beyond scheduling; a motion to place R2026‑00004 on the June 2 agenda for public hearing and consideration with a recommendation for adoption was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Next steps: the council hearing on June 2 will provide public comment and the city’s formal record; following council action the annexation proceeds to the Thurston County Boundary Review Board for its review before the council can adopt an ordinance for full annexation.
