Rick Schnurr, council member, gathered up some annexation policies from other towns, said Q. Kay, and those need to be studied and considered in drawing up an annexation policy for Mona before the annexation for Painter is approved. Susan Kay (S. Kay), wife of council member Kay, said it was her opinion the council needed to put into place an annexation policy before allowing any annexation to the town. I have gone through some of the other policies with Doran (Kay), and think we need to have a policy of our own.
