City Council Authorizes Petitions for Stilson Annexation

The North Bend City Council authorized the circulation of Annexation Petitions in that area known as Stilson at their meeting of February 17th. The Stilson Annexation area, which abuts Opsted Elementary on the east and south, is the second area authorized by the City Council to circulate annexation petitions in the last 2 months. Stilson is significantly smaller than the Tanner Annexation area which stretches from the existing eastern City limits all the way to Trucktown. The initial petition to the City Council from the Stilson property owners was signed by those with 62% of assessed valuation. This is in excess of the necessary 60% needed to move the annexation forward. If the same individuals sign again, the City Council could move forward to public hearings on the request upon submittal.
