There was brief discussion on combining DD 21 with DD 73 as all of DD 21 lies within the boundaries of DD 73. It was the consensus of the group that DD 21 should remain a separate district as no action has been taken to dissolve the district.

The question of annexing 1.95 acres, Lot A in the SE ¼ of SE ¼ of Section 21 and 17.0 acres in SW ¼ of SW ¼ of Section 22, all in Cedar Twp into DD 73 came up after the decision to leave DD 21 as a separate district.
