Staff Reports
Mr. Collins reported a request from Councilman Worley regarding no parking on Kreymer Lane. Mr. Collins
stated that the Police Department and traffic engineer have evaluated the situation and agree that it would be a
good idea to eliminate parking on Kreymer Lane. Mr. Collins stated that they would give notice to property
owners who would be effected and notify that this would be effective the first or second week in June.
Council had concerns regarding the residents accommodation for visitor parking, and width of street compared
to others. The Mayor asked for costs to widen the street on the East side to accommodate parking. Mr. Collins
stated that this is a temporary situation that should be eliminated when the street is widened.
Councilman Swartz asked about the Truck Route signs on Brown Street. Councilman Scott mentioned the
concerns with Brown Street is the turning situation from Brown onto State Highway 78. Mr. Collins stated that
when Council talked about taking the truck traffic away from the downtown area it was suggested that we wait
until improvements are made to the Brown Street/S.H. 78 intersection due to the turning radius.

Worksession
Discussion of Future Annexation Possibilities& Other Related Annexation Issues.
Mr. Tobin Maples,Planning Director provided Council with results of a survey conducted to determine the role
of the Planning and Zoning Commission with regard to the annexation process. Mr. Maples stated that at one
time the Commission held one of the two required public hearings,however,most municipalities have eliminated
this and both public hearings are conducted by Council. He did stated that the Commission can be actively
involved in the long term planning of annexations, and may be more so should pending legislation pass.
Mr.Maples presented a map indicating all recently annexed areas. Mr. Maples stated that Staff brought forward
approximately 38 parcels out of the 170 that were identified as possible annexations. Mr. Maples stated that the
remaining 140 parcels are those we do not have complete legal descriptions. Mr. Maples suggested that we may
opt to hire a surveyor and title research company to provide the necessary information to proceed. He explained
that the title research company could provide some of the legals, however, some parcels have been sold off,
requiring a surveyor. Mr. Maples stated that the majority would require a surveyor.

ramifications of any Bills passed that would effect future annexations.
