Riverview School District 10% Annexation Petition Troy Davis, Senior Planner, gave a brief presentation reviewing the proposed annexation area. Mr. Davis said that State law requires a meeting between the applicant and the City Council to discuss the annexation within 60 days of the application. Mr. Davis reviewed the options City Council has related to the annexation, staff’s recommendations and next steps in the process. Dr. Anthony Smith, Riverview School District Superintendent, said that the parcel they are requesting to be annexed is surrounded by parcels already annexed into Duvall city limits and they would like all properties they own to be in one jurisdiction rather than to have to work with multiple jurisdictions to develop the property in the future.

Ms. Thomas and Mr. Leniszewski answered questions from Council regarding FTE allocations. Councilmember Hogg requested that the $400,000 that is listed in both general fund revenues and restricted fund expenditures, which was related to the potential sale of the WRECK Center, be removed since there is still not a decision about selling the building.
