3. Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Weber County consenting to the annexation of certain properties into Plain City, Utah - Resolution 51-2007

David Wilson, Deputy County Attorney, stated that the county had been working extensively with Plain City on this item. Brandon Richards, Plain City Attorney, outlined the statutory process whereby cities can move forward on annexation of islands or peninsulas without a petition for annexation. There had been sufficient objections filed on a large island in the city that resulted in its removal from annexation. The remaining of the smaller islands did not receive written objections at the time of the hearing and the city desired to move forward and annex those properties into the city. There is a requirement, until January 2008, whereby the cities must come before the County Commission and ask for approval of the annexation process. Commissioner Zogmaister asked how much land this involved and Plain City Mayor Jenkins responded that it totaled about 10 acres, representing approximately 12 different parcels, and Mr. Richards showed a map of that area.
