It is the policy of the City that all City-owned property be included within the corporate boundary of the City as the opportunity arises to annex such property to the City. The City Manager is authorized to sign, on behalf of the City, any annexation petition requesting annexation of City-owned property to the City and appointing an annexation agent to act on behalf of the City in prosecuting such annexation. The City Manager may delay initiating an annexation and may decline to sign an annexation petition, which the City Manager has not been specifically directed to sign by ordinance, if the City Manager determines that delaying annexation of City-owned property for a time would better further the purpose of the City's policy or would facilitate successful prosecution of annexation petitions of other property owners likely to request annexation of their property to the City in the future.
