City Commission votes to expand annexation in select areas
The City Commission indicated it will speed growth by pursuing ordinances to annex North Lawrence and areas south of the city while delaying Miller and Wells Acres and Western Hills. Officials plan meetings with Rural Water District No. 1 to discuss annexation policies as 1966 67 gains push city size to 16.6 square miles. The panel also deferred a sign ordinance amendment and granted a small variance to Haddock Ford after paving work was not accounted for.
