Anexation Designs are progressing

 The City staff and myself sat down to review the latest designs for a final plat in the newly annexed area between the school and the old borders of the City. The new plat allows for some better options on infrastructure and the City's engineer wanted to go over the options with the infrastructure committee. The final plat along with the Engineers recommendations will be presented at an upcoming council meeting.
