Council backs boundary-line adjustment with Washington City to align Ara Parkway

City staff presented a resolution initiating a boundary-line adjustment with neighboring Washington City, explaining the change was prompted by how Ara Parkway was constructed and by discrepancies found in earlier surveys. The adjustment would move the shared boundary to the center line of the roadway so each city would control its half.

"So the proposal is it'll it'll go right down the center of the road," a staff member said while explaining the draft boundary alignment. Councilmember Austin Anderson moved to recommend approval and Councilmember Steve Kemp seconded. The council took a roll-call vote; the motion carried.

Staff said the resolution begins the formal hearing and land-record process; further public hearings and technical surveys were described as the next steps. Specific property or parcel annexations tied to the line adjustment were not listed in the meeting packet during the presentation.
