the City Council prior to initiating annexation proceedings. The map shown depicted a proposed
area of annexation for four areas totaling approximately 65 acres on the west side of the City. The

North Graham Road. Annexation area three contains approximately .25 miles of public roadway
(North Graham Road). Mr. Simms also explained that in terms of annexation planning, all four
areas have the potential to accommodate future growth on the west side of the City. Area 1 is
completely surrounded by the City while Area 2 is surrounded by the City on three sides. Areas 3
and 4 contain future thoroughfares which will provide needed connectivity on the west side of the
City.
The next step in the process will be for Council to consider the annexation at the April 26 Council
regular meeting. Upon approval the effective date will be June 1, 2018 for core city services, which
include: police protection, fire protection, emergency medical service, solid waste collection,
operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities, operation & maintenance of public
roads and streets, operation & maintenance of publicly-owned parks, playgrounds, and swimming
pools, and operation & maintenance of other publicly- owned facilities. Additional services
include building permits & inspections, planning & development services, community
development programs, animal control, code enforcement, and recycling collection.
The plan will be posted on the City website, and copies will be made available for the public to
view. Notices have been mailed out to affected residents, and Public Hearing notices have been
published in the paper.
The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item on February 15, 2018 and voted 7-0 to
recommend approval of the proposed annexation. Staff also recommended approval.

mineral interests (Bid No. 18-030) between January 1, 2018 and January 22, 2018. The City
