should also be annexed.

Board were present to ask questions about the annexation. They
expressed concern about the annexed area becoming an "industrial
park" and wondered if the City had any specific plans for such.

industrial development, but that there were no specific plans at
this time.
After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City
Council approval of the annexation as proposed. Seconded by Mr.
Hwang, the motion carried unanimously.
