APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the meeting of March 21 had been posted and mailed, and since there were no omissions nor corrections, they were approved as presented. HEARING: ON ANNEXATION OF AREA SOUTH OF MEADOWDALE JR. HIGH AND WEST OF OLYMPIC VIEW DRIVE A petition had been received, stating that it contained signatures of more than 75% of the assessed valuation of the property to be annexed, for an area south of the Meadowdale Junior High School and west of Olympic View Drive. The petition was worded with the legal provision that the area to be annexed would assume all indebtedness of the City of Edmonds and the people involved be taxed in the same manner as the citizens of Edmonds. A map showing the area in question was then projected on the screen. A hearing held before a Board of Review had determined the area could be adequately served by Edmonds, and it was reasonable for it to annex to this city. Mayor Maxwell read the points reviewed by this Board. The City Engineer outlined the future sewering of the area, which would probably necessitate recip- rocal negotiation terms with the City of Lynnwood. Hearing was then opened. Mr. Shane, speaker for a small group of property owners opposed to being annexed to any city at this time, stated that there were some homeowners in the area who had not been contacted in regard to signing of the petition for annexation. Mr. John Reid, who had presented the original petition for annexation, said that he had covered the northern half of the area, and stated that approximately 92% of the owners of property involved had signed the petition and that there were about 56 separate ownerships and 46 or 47 had signed to annex. Bob Eberle told the council that some of the people didn't want to be swept into Lynnwood, so had signed the petition to annex to Edmonds, but that now that they had been deleted from the Lynnwood resolution for an annexation election; they wanted to hear more details concerning annexation to Edmonds. There were questions from this group on millage and. -extra taxes if annexed, and the few people present who spoke seemed to feel that•now:-that they didn't -have to,worry about annexing to Lynnwood, they didn't want to hurry and annex to any city. -A petition was pre- sented asking that these properties be stricken from the area asking annexation to Edmonds, and this was signed- by 14 property owners. One woman stated she had not heard about the possible annexation until the day before this council meeting. Mrs. Minert said that the people who had not signed the petition pelt they wanted to wait before annexing. Lloyd Anderson also told' the council that this group wanted time to think this over before being annexed. No one else wished to comment, and the hearing was closed. Following discussion,.it was moved by Councilman Olds, seconded by Councilman Kincaid that the hearing on the proposed annexation of this area be continued to May 2 at 8:00 P.M., and the motion carried. HEARING: ON LETTER OF INTENT FOR ANNEXATION OF AREA NORTH OF 2201' AND JUST EAST OF llm A letter of intent to commence annexation proceedings was received for the area north of 220k and just east of 11k, signed by 10% of the assessed valuation of the property wishing to annex. The hearing was opened, but since there was no one who wished to comment, the hearing was closed. It was moved by Councilman Bevan, seconded by Councilman Olds that the people submitting this letter of intent be authorized to circulate a petition for annexation, pro- viding that all property within the tertitory hereby -sought to be annexed shall be assessed and taxed at the same rate and on the same basis as property within the City of Edmonds for any now outstanding indebtedness of said city, including assessments or taxes in payment of any bonds issued or debts contracted, prior to or existing at the date of annexation.
