MISCELLANEOUS Councilmen Daley and Smith discussed annexation regarding extension of the water line south of the armory. We are awaiting specific request from the County. Councilman Smith questioned giving it to them now when it was refused previously. She feels that we are jeopardizing our ability to grow because there are only 2 things the City has that cause people to annex -sewer service and water service. If they can get these services outside the City, there is no reason for them to annex.
