The commissions approved the formation of the fire district and a vote of the freeholders of the district boundaries. The boundaries of the fire district included the following area: Sections 19 through 36 of Davenport Township (Township 137 North, Range 51 West) of Cass County, the Southeast 1/4 of Section 8, the South ½ of Sections 9 and 10, the Southwest 1/4 of Section 11, and Sections 18 through 36 of Normanna Township (Toxvnship 137 North, Range 50 West) of Cass County, excepting property within the City of Kindred, Sections 1 through 24, with the exceptions of Sections 6, 7, 18 and 19, of Barrie Township (Township 136 North, Range 51 West) of Richland County, Sections 1 through 12 and Sections 15 through 18 of Walcott Township (Township 136 North, Range 50 West) of Richland County, and Sections 5 through 8 of Walcott Township (Township 136 North, Range 49 West) of Richland County. Note that the area included in the district boundaries excludes the incorporated boundaries of the City of Kindred. Recently my office received completed petitions of more than 60% of the eligible voters of the City of Kindred, who are owners of real estate property in the city. Following revie~v of the petitions, I forwarded a copy of the petitions to the Kindred Community and Rural Fire Protection District for their approval to add the City of Kindred to the fire protection district. The board approved the request on May 14, 2003. The next step is for the County Commission to hold a hearing on the petition and make a decision on adding the City of Kindred incorporated area to the Kindred Community and Rural Fire Protection District. The hearing must be advertised for two consecutive weeks with the final publication at least seven days prior to the hearing. Sincerely, Michael Montplaisir, CPA County Auditor SUGGESTED MOTION: Move to approve OR not approve the annexation of the City of Kindred to the Kindred Community and Rural Fire Protection District.
