The City of Decatur has released a video of Mayor Jim Baskett thanking residents and staff for their response to the snow “storm” earlier this week.  Here ’tis…

Decaturish has a great, in-depth article on an annexation request included on the Decatur City Commission’s agenda for next Monday, so I won’t duplicate efforts.

The request is being made by residents of the Parkwood neighborhood, which has long been bisected – in many cases right through the center of properties – by the Decatur city line on the west side of the city (Google Map).  There’s a map showing the city line running through the neighborhood on page 5 of their submitted petition.

Anyway, back to the Decaturish article.  I’ll just get you started…

A group of Parkwood neighborhood residents wants the city of Decatur to annex their homes.

Andy Vocaire, spokesman for the Parkwood Neighborhood, said homeowners filed a petition with the city last week.

The city posted a copy of the petition on its website. To read it, click here.

City Commissioners will consider accepting the petition at their  Monday meeting. If the annexation effort is successful, it could add 76 homes to the city of Decatur.
