Council authorizes staff to begin annexation process for school district property

City Attorney Chase presented a request from Prior Public Schools seeking annexation of a parcel described in the agenda, noting the school's intent to obtain use tax from future construction; the council authorized staff and the city attorney to verify title, obtain owner consent and prepare required notices, hearings and ordinances to begin the annexation process.

Chase emphasized this action starts the administrative process rather than enacting annexation tonight; staff will return with public‑notice postings and a draft ordinance for future council consideration.
