The document summarizes the annexation process and service plan for a proposed annexation area. It discusses the annexation team convening and public hearings being held on March 10th and 12th. The service plan guarantees comparable service levels to the city and no reduction of existing services. Immediate services include police, fire, EMS, utilities and more. Additional long-term services and capital improvements are not required as the annexed area can use existing city facilities. The annexation would add 233 acres and 112 residents, providing $59,485 in initial annual revenues.
