The State Lands Area Manager, Jon Dahlberg, and City Manager Krepps submitted a request for annexation of this property. The FRDO staff reviewed and - recommended approval of the request. The Planning Board approved the annexation on a vote of 5-0. Since this is State Land, the process for annexation is more complicated. A Notice of Intent needs to be published and a Public Hearing date set for this proposed annexation. The hearing date should be set for the October 6, 1997 meeting. Since this land is now the City's for use as an athletic complex, the intent has always been to bring the land into the City Limits, and the City has initiated the request for annexation. This will begin the process of the annexation procedures. At the October 6 meeting Council will need to approve the resolution to annex the property and a resolution to zone the land as P-1 (public) use.
