Casey Annexes 17 Parcels in One Vote, Closing Boundary Cleanup

Casey City Council Meeting | July 6, 2026

Article Summary: The Casey City Council approved 17 annexation ordinances on a single consent agenda vote, wrapping up the city’s corporate boundary cleanup and clearing the way for residential projects to join the countywide enterprise zone.

Casey Annexation Key Points:

• Ordinances #651 and #632 through #647 annex parcels including the Casey Community Club & Golf Course and Huisinga Properties by voluntary petition, plus 15 wholly bounded tracts.
• City Clerk Jeremy Mumford said statutory notices would go out the next day, with the ordinances to be recorded in the coming weeks.
• Completing the annexations removes the last obstacle to adding residential projects to the countywide enterprise zone.

CASEY — The Casey City Council on Monday, July 6, 2026, unanimously approved 17 annexation ordinances in a single consent agenda vote, effectively completing a months-long effort to clean up “donut hole” parcels inside the city’s limits that were never properly annexed or lacked records.

Because the ordinances had all been discussed at the previous meeting, the council handled them as a consent agenda with one roll call. City Attorney Tracy Willenborg read each ordinance into the record before the vote. Ordinance #651 annexes the Casey Community Club & Golf Course and Ordinance #632 annexes the Huisinga Properties, both by petition of voluntary annexation. The remaining 15 ordinances, #633 through #647, annex wholly bounded territory belonging to owners including J&K Mithcell Inc., John L. and Kathleen Reed, Rosetta J. Owen, Patrick M. Niebrugge, Nancy L. and Jason J. Bollenbaugh, the K.S. Hayes Family Trust, Timothy D. and Catherine Diane Anderson, Ethan A. and Tracey E. Brewer, Rusdol W. and Julia A. Denney, Ruth Todino, Charles and Nina Meeker, the James A. Knierim Trust, Calvary LLC, Kevin A. and Linda M. Simmons, and the Lori J. Crozier Trust. Alderman Jeremiah Hanley moved approval and Alderman Marcy Mumford seconded; the vote was unanimous.

City Clerk Jeremy Mumford said notices would go out the following day and the ordinances would be recorded within a few weeks. “Once the notices are out and the ordinances are recorded, that project is complete,” he said.

Economic Development Director Tom Daughhetee said the completion carries a broader payoff: “This also means that we will no longer be holding up the countywide addition of residential projects to the enterprise zone. We can proceed with that project, which will be a big help for anybody building residential projects in the city or doing rehabilitation to their house.”

The annexations follow statutory notices mailed and published beginning in May and June as part of the city’s corporate boundary cleanup, which officials have pursued alongside the nuisance property demolition program as part of a broader effort to put the city’s property records and housing stock in order.
