The city fathers of Clearfield think it would be advantageous to them to make certain the property would be a part of Clearfield city if, regretfully, that day should ever come. Hence, the HAFB property, excluding those portions that are in Weber County and Sunset City is included in an Annexation Declaratioh Policy which was adopted by the city in a public hearing Tuesday evening. Besides the Base property there were five other properties included in the declaration. In accordance with state law, the six areas are outlined, defined, and services that are, or can be, supplied are discussed in the new policy. A small piece of property on the cities north boundary and one on the northeast boundary, 8V2 acres on 700 South, 531 acres south of Freeport, and 66 acres on the far east side of the city, are also included in the policy.
