Council open to considering annexation of McGregor cul‑de‑sac if residents request it
Summary
A McGregor resident expressed interest in exploring annexation of a cul‑de‑sac adjacent to the Village; the council said it would consider annexation only if there is clear resident support and noted annexation has financial implications for both new residents and the Village.
A resident on McGregor contacted the Village to ask whether the council would be receptive to exploring annexation of a cul‑de‑sac adjacent to the village boundary, the minutes state.
Manager Dana Peterson summarized the inquiry and said the council indicated willingness to consider annexation only if a clear majority of the affected residents supported the move. Council members also warned that piecemeal annexations could prompt interest in other locations and said annexation would have financial implications for incoming residents (additional property tax) and for the Village (expanded service areas and costs).
Next steps: no formal annexation process was initiated; the council said it would consider a request if residents pursued the matter collectively and provided clear support.
