The purpose of the special meeting to discuss the possibility of the orderly annexation of eight (8) parcels.

They agreed on the following parameters:

• A total of eight (8) parcels are to be annexed.

• A fifteen year agreement that no contested case annexation will occur, with the                                              exception of public need.

• Any property owner contiguous to the city requesting annexation into the city would be allowed to annex, regardless of acreage.

• The definition pf public need will need to be clearly defined in the agreement.

• The annexed properties would not be required to hook-up to the public water and sewer system unless their system fails inspection, per city code.
