I guess we’ll have to wait and see what their motivation is on this particular piece of the puzzle and then decide. Realistically, I doubt the city would annex out of the good of their hearts, so maybe they’re speculating something is going on with that street or property we don’t know about. Considering the sht storm there has been the past 2 times this has come up, it probably looks less attractive than before they made the potential plans knows.

While I do agree these things need to be scrutinized from a financial standpoint, that’s not what I was reading in some of the comments. We can debate about interpretation, but that was my opinion and I didn’t feel it was cheap shot. Being completely anti-annexation is one thing, and I actually think there’s a strong argument to be made for that. Keeping it small means manageability, exclusivity, and keeping property values strong, all good things. But being in favor of annexation, for everything except this place, while basically ignoring in the argument that there’s going to be some real revenue flowing in, doesn’t sit right with me. If it doesn’t make sense after reviewing all information then fine, but that’s not what happened in this discussion.

The schools are growing and that can’t be ignored. Perhaps the discussion should be had about the capacity of the schools, and grade reconfiguration in them. Probably better sooner than later, if the city wants annexation support from city residents.
