City, requests annexation by verified petition of all landowners of
record; or
(2)
In the case of land not contiguous to the corporate limits of
the City:
All landowners sign a "petition for voluntary annexation" with
pertinent text as substantially as follows:
"The undersigned, in consideration of Desloge, Missouri, granting
to the undersigned the right to tap into the sanitary sewer service
arranged by Desloge upon compliance with Desloge's development rules,
regulations, guidelines and procedures and, upon payment of the customary
fees, hereby petition(s) and request(s) the Board of Aldermen of Desloge
to annex into the corporate limits the following described tract of
land presently outside of the corporate limits when the said land
becomes contiguous to the corporate limits of said Desloge, Missouri..."
