Sunman board moves to study annexation of utility customers, schedules working meetings
Summary
Council agreed to pursue working meetings to define annexation targets, focusing first on contiguous properties already receiving town water or sewer and outlining public-notice and mapping steps required for a legal annexation process.
Council members discussed restarting an annexation process focused on customers already receiving town utilities. A council member summarized the shorthand view for listeners: "we're thinking about annexing everybody that's already getting our utilities," and members agreed they would schedule working meetings to identify the maximum feasible annexation area, prepare required public notices and create contiguous maps.
Staff explained the annexation process requires multiple public contacts and advertising, and members noted some properties already served by town utilities may complicate the map and timing. The board directed staff to schedule working sessions to refine the timeline and list of properties to include in a first annexation phase; no final annexation ordinance was adopted at this meeting.
