PUBLIC HEARING (DELIBERATIONS ONLY)
a) Parker Annexation (A‐13‐001) ‐ 60% Petition: Mayor Pro Tem Prince read the following
statement regarding the proposed Parker Annexation:
"City staff have been made aware that the King County Assessor's Office has determined that
the Annexation Petition Certification issued for the Parker Annexation may have been issued
in error. The Assessor's Office believes that the required 60% of assessed valuation was not
met and is therefore insufficient. Additionally, the Assessor's Office has indicated they will be
allowing property owners who signed the annexation petition to withdraw their names from
the petition. The Assessor's Office will be finalizing their determination over the course of the
week and will notify the City by next Monday, September 24, 2018 on the status of the
Petition Certification and whether the certification will be invalidated or affirmed. Staff will
notify Council of the final status as soon as possible."
Concluding, Mayor Pro Tem Prince stated that due to this new development, no deliberations
on the proposed Parker Annexation would occur at tonight's meeting.
