City Council and Annexation

BOONE, Iowa---Several weeks ago, the Boone City Council voted to temporarily halt the work being done on an annexation study. Most of the focus of the study has been on a preliminary recommendation to pursue annexation of the Industrial Park east of Boone. Since four of the current Council Members weren't on the Council when the annexation study began, it was felt that there should be a review of the process, bringing the newest Council Members up to speed. The Council will need to decide if they wish to pursue the annexation study, which also identified annexation measures on the north and also the west side of the city.
