Annexation again on City Council agenda

The Havre City Council at its meeting Tuesday will once again visit the topic of annexing property west of the city limits into Havre.

The first item on the agenda for the 7 p.m. meeting is the first reading of a resolution to annex property into the city of Havre.

The description of the properties proposed to be annexed into the city limits include the Holiday Village Mall, Triangle Communications and Hill County Electric, Havre Ford, The NorthWestern Corp., G&B Toyota, and other properties along U.S. Highway 2 Northwest and Second Street West.

The resolution says the city will hold a public hearing on the proposed annexation Monday, Oct. 3.

The Havre government has been attempting in the past decade to annex property west of Havre, but complaints and lawsuits filed by some property owners in the areas to be annexed have stymied previous efforts.

In 2013 the city annexed property on the east, west and south sides of the city. That annexation brought 14 residential properties and eight zoned as commercial into the city limits.
