The <br />commissions approved the formation of the fire district and a vote of the <br />freeholders of the district boundaries. The boundaries of the fire district <br />included the following area: <br /> <br />Sections 19 through 36 of Davenport Township (Township 137 North, <br />Range 51 West) of Cass County, the Southeast 1/4 of Section 8, the <br />South ½ of Sections 9 and 10, the Southwest 1/4 of Section 11, and <br />Sections 18 through 36 of Normanna Township (Township 137 North, <br />Range 50 West) of Cass County, excepting property within the City of <br />Kindred, Sections 1 through 24, with the exceptions of Sections 6, 7, 18 <br />and 19, of Barrie Township (Township 136 North, Range 51 West) of <br />Richland County, Sections 1 through 12 and Sections 15 through 18 of <br />Walcott Township (Township 136 North, Range 50 West) of Richland <br />County, and Sections 5 through 8 of Walcott Township (Township 136 <br />North, Range 49 West) of Richland County. <br /> <br />Note that the area included in the district boundaries excludes the incorporated <br />boundaries of the City of Kindred. Recently my office received completed <br />petitions of more than 60% of the eligible voters of the City of Kindred, who <br />are owners of real estate property in the city. Following review of the <br />petitions, I forwarded a copy of the petitions to the Kindred Community and <br />Rural Fire Protection District for their approval to add the City of Kindred to <br />the fire protection district. The board approved the request on May 14, 2003. <br /> <br />The next step is for the County Commission to hold a hearing on the petition <br />and make a decision on adding the City of Kindred incorporated area to the <br />Kindred Community and Rural Fire Protection District. The hearing must be <br />advertised for two consecutive weeks with the final publication at least seven <br />days prior to the hearing. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Michael Montplaisir, CPA <br />County Auditor <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: <br />Move to set the hearing date of June 16th for the annexation of the City of <br />Kindred to the Kindred Community and Rural Fire Protection District. <br /> <br />www. casscountygov, com <br /> <br /> <br />
