Submit the Annexation Packet to Public Works Survey/Right-of-Way and Property Management. Annexation request will be placed on the next available Property Management Committee agenda for consideration.
After request is approved by the Committee, Public Works Survey/Right-of-Way will request a recordable annexation map (record of survey). Public Works Survey/Right-of-Way prepares City Council agenda items to petition for the annexation and the annexation bill. If City Council accepts the petition, the annexation bill is read in title. City Council can adopt the annexation bill, with any applicable conditions, at the next available City Council meeting. When the annexation bill is adopted, it is adopted as an ordinance.
Once City Council adopts the annexation the City Clerk’s office routes the ordinance for signatures; The City Clerk publishes the ordinance and sends copies to other entities as required by NRS; The original ordinance is filed in the City Clerk’s office; A certified copy of the ordinance is delivered to Public Works Survey/Right-of-Way and Property Management and recorded along with the annexation map; and copies of the annexation are sent to the City's GIS staff to update City maps.
