The Dalles City Council has asked its planning staff for a better definition for when annexations should take place. Mayor Steve Lawrence says they were given a good definition for when urbanization has occurred to a point where annexation could take place, but it did not do enough on the policy issue of when the City seeks to annex properties. Lawrence says the Council wants more of the policy pros and cons on annexation. He adds right now they would affirm annexations of a commercial nature or someone who consents to it. The Council hopes to receive the policy information in about a month.
