UTES OCTOBER 27, 1988 as submitted. Stephens seconded the motion and it passed
1988 unanimously.
DISCUSSION ON Manning asked Greer to begin the discussion relative to the process
ANNEXATION OF of annexing wholly surrounded lands.
WHOLLY SURROUNDED
LANDS Greer gave a report on the procedures that should be followed when
annexing wholly surrounded lands. He added that the Board cannot
propose annexation of lands that have agricultural or industrial
uses. Some of the islands within the city limits may have industrial
uses and one area may have agricultural uses.
Greer pointed out that the area where Pacific Power and Light is
located on Meridian Road is wholly surrounded but has an industrial
use. He interpreted the state statutes to mean that since P.P. & L is
located there and is an industrial use that area could not be
O annexed. Furlong asked if there was a way to annex everything but
P.P. & L.? Manning suggested going to P.P.& L. and see if they would
agree to be annexed since they receive city services. This would have
to be done in a separate annexation procedure rather than the process
used for annexing wholly surrounded lands. Once P.P. & L. is annexed
then the other adjacent properties would once again be wholly
surrounded and they could then be annexed.
Greer;covered the flow chart that showed the methods required for the
annexation of wholly surrounded areas. He added that there must be an
Extension of Services Plan in place for the annexation process. A
proposed time table is necessary for the extension of the services to
the areas to be annexed'. He added that he has a copy of a plan that
was done when Margaret.Clark was an employee of the office but there
does not seem to be a Resolution of adoption and he needed to know if
there is an Extension of Services Plan in existence that is fully
adopted. Some amendments would have to- be made to the Plan, if it
exists, that would outline a plan for the extension of services to
these wholly surrounded areas.
Greer also pointed out that there needs to be a perimeter description
of each of these. wholly surrounded areas. He did not feel that the
Flathead Regional Development Office should create the perimeter
descriptions. It is difficult to come up with perimeter descriptions
with the maps that we have available and it may require survey
information. Greer asked if the Board felt a Title Company should do
this or could Fred Zavodny handle this.

Greer also suggested that the annexation of the wholly surrounded
I/D areas could be done one at a time or all at once. Furlong, Manning,
Sloan and Reynolds all expressed the desire to annex them all at
once.
Furlong suggested that a scenario of needs for the Title research,
cost and who will fund the cost be done for his city council
committee. Greer stated that there needed to be a list of
requirements drawn up and who would do each of the duties required as
well as a time line for getting it done and the costs involved. The
Board agreed that Greer's suggestion should be followed and requested
that a time line and duties be ready for the next meeting for the
Board's review.
OLD BUSINESS Greer gave an up date on the progress of the Evergreen Zoning
District.
NEW BUSINESS Dave Reynolds announced that he is going to resign effective the end
of December and that he would be submitting a letter to that effect.
