South Cle Elum council adopts Ordinance No. 668 to annex territory
Summary
Councilmembers voted to adopt Ordinance No. 668, completing an annexation step the town previously handled as a resolution and complying with state guidance to formalize it by ordinance.
The South Cle Elum Town Council on April 7 adopted Ordinance No. 668 to annex certain territory within the town’s boundaries. Councilmember McGuire moved to adopt the ordinance "as written," a motion seconded by Sandretto and passed by majority vote.
Town Attorney Jeff Slothower explained the item had been handled last May as a resolution but must be formalized as an ordinance in accordance with the Washington State Office of Financial Management. The council did not amend the text during the meeting and formalized the annexation through the recorded vote.
The adoption moves the annexation from a resolution-stage action to an ordinance as required by state administrative guidance; the transcript does not specify the exact parcels or the effective date beyond adoption on April 7, 2026.
