Mayor advised that when the motion is made to adopt the ordinance, properties D,
E, and F need to be removed from the motion.
Councilman Ervin expressed a concern regarding the other properties described in A, B,
and C. He would like to see those properties pulled until a committee can be appointed
to see how these properties will fit into the master plan. Councilman Ervin referenced
page 45, under the maintenance of roads and drainage, indicating the city has 60 days to
start maintenance.
Councilman Patton also expressed the same concern and inquired as tv how this would
impact the City financially.
City Manager advised the 60 days indicate the date the City will provide those services.
This does not mean that the City has 60 days to begin repairs. It specifies the time frame
when the road maintenance becomes the City's responsibility.
Councilman Patton asked how many miles of asphalt and gravel road are we taking in
with this annexation.
City Manager advised there is a little piece on Lois and Belz and with this annexation
the City is not annexing a huge liability.
Discussion continued.
City Manager advised that he can set a future workshop session to discuss future
annexation policies.
Councilman Ervin moved to adopt Ordinance 1245-07 and to strike Item D, E, and F.
from the ordinance. Seconded by Councilman Patton. Motion carried unanimously.
