Staff asked to mail notices for Somerville–Mound Island voluntary annexation public hearing

Bridal Smith raised a question about agenda item 36, the Somerville, Mound Island voluntary annexation public hearing, and recommended that the city take the additional step of mailing notices to residents who are not listed as parcel owners so they are aware of the hearing.

"I also had a question on number 36, which we have the public hearing on Somerville, Mound Island voluntary annexation. I wanted a little bit more clarification on 1, Mayor Pro Tem and colleagues, the concern that I think it will be helpful if we take the additional step of making sure that we mail to the residents that are outside of these particular parcel owners so that they are aware of this public," Bridal Smith said.
