The four — Mountain View, Irish Elementary, Tavelli El- ementary and Lincoln Junior High — all are located on the north side of the city. "We feel we can probably have better police. protection, because they have more bodies to call on, if we were in the city," said Ron Daggett, the school district's prop-_ erty manager. ; (The would-be school an- nexations; which amount to 57 acres,,are new proposals and are not reflected on the accompanying city development map.) Daggett said the idea for the annexations hatched out of a reg- ular information -sharing session conducted by school district, city and Iarimer County officials. 'J'his (annexation effort) is not to say we're unhappy with the sheriffs department; that's not the case at all," Daggett said. . Both the city police and county sheriff agencies have endorsed the district's effort, he said.. The annexations provide an ad- ditional value of less -expensive utilities for the schools, he said. For instance, Lincoln, located on Vine Drive, currently receives electric service from Public Ser- vice Co. of Colorado. : Upon coming into city limits, the school can utilize the city's municipal power. With its request for annexation, the school district joins a ripple of annexations expected in 1998. Not counting the school sites, the city is processing six annexations totaling 231.9 acres.
