Hospital seeks annexation; commissioners agree to public hearing on Airport Road extension
Summary
Hospital representatives asked the county to permit annexation of a 544‑foot segment of Airport Road to allow the hospital parcel to be annexed into the city; commissioners agreed to start paperwork and set a May 6 public hearing and discussed paving and utility connections.
Representatives from the local hospital asked Daniels County commissioners to allow the city to annex a short segment of Airport Road so the hospital parcel can be added to city limits.
Hospital staff explained the annexation request requires a contiguous connection to city limits; the hospital is offering to pave the roadway up to its property line if annexation proceeds. County and city staff noted that annexation would transfer maintenance responsibility for that segment and affect gas‑tax allocations. The hospital asked for permission to include approximately 544 feet of Airport Road in the city annexation petition.
Commissioners voted to accept the form and agreed to publish required notices; a public hearing was scheduled for May 6 at 3:00 p.m. Commissioners requested staff confirm address and parcel data, confirm utility capacities for water/sewer connections and make sure gas‑tax bookkeeping and pavement maintenance responsibilities are spelled out in follow‑up documents.
Next steps: county will publish the notice, collect comments and hold the May 6 public hearing; staff will assemble utility and pavement financing details before that meeting.
