Subj: Correction to Ordinance 648
Recommendation
Adopt Ordinance 899, amending Ordinance 648 correcting the legal description of the area annexed into the City of Yelm.
Background
On September 22, 2008, the Community Development Department was contacted by the Washington State Office of Financial Management regarding an annexation from 1999. OFM had been reviewing
it's annexation files and discovered that the surveyors from the Washington State Department of Transportation had expressed concerns with the legal description describing the property
annexed by Ordinance 648.
In order to clarify the area annexed by Ordinance 648, the Community Development Department has had a new legal description be prepared by a licensed surveyor, which is standard practice
for all current annexations.
Current Situation
Ordinance 899 amends the legal description of the area annexed by Ordinance 648 in 1999 and should resolve the concerns raised by the Washington State Office of Financial Management.
