On Thursday March 26th, North Bend Public Works Director Ron Garrow delivered petitions from property owners favoring the proposed Tanner Annexation area, to the King County Assessor's Office. Petition organizers collected more than the necessary 60% of the signatures of owners by assessed valuation, reaching 64% as of Thursday morning.
The Assessor will now verify the signatures on the petitions and will certify the petitions if all is in order. The City Council will consider a motion to set a public hearing this Tuesday at their regular meeting (April 7). If the Council acts, a public hearing will be held on April 21st to decide whether to issue a Declaration of Intent to Annex.
If the Council does issue the Declaration, the annexation issue will then be transfered to the King County Boundry Review Board. That Board must decide within 45 days whether they intend to exercize jurisdiction, a move which would be unusual.
Editors Note: Congratulations to the Annexation Petitioners who, in about 8 weeks, gathered signatures representing about $115 million dollars in assessed property valuation. A lot of hard work went into this drive.
