Mayor Jean Stothert will not recommend an annexation package in 2023. The annual evaluation of 139 Sanitary and Improvement Districts (SIDs) shows none meet the Mayor’s annexation goals.
Mayor Stothert’s previous annexation recommendations all met established goals: revenue positive for the City over the next ten years, elimination of islands already surrounded by the City, and ability to provide police and fire protection.
After the annual review, the analysis shows none of the SIDs meet the financial requirements for annexation.
“This year is a unique exception to my strong record of growth through annexation,” said Mayor Jean Stothert.
“We carefully evaluate every SID to be certain we can generate new revenue and continued growth of our city. This year, it is not financially beneficial.”
Since 2013, Mayor Stothert has proposed and the City Council has approved nine annexation packages contributing to the City’s population growth and strong financial position.
All SIDs will be reviewed again in 2024.
