Council approves first reading to dis‑annex Wolf Air Park; property owners near unanimous
Summary
The council approved the first reading of an ordinance to dis‑annex part of Wolf Air Park after applicants reported they had collected signatures from nearly all property owners; council asked staff to draft the de‑annexation agreement for second reading.
Property owners at Wolf Air Park asked the City of Manville to dis‑annex a portion of the airport subdivision and the council approved the first of two readings of the ordinance authorizing that action.
Chad (last name not specified), representing property owners, told council the petitioners had collected signatures from nearly all property owners and were one signature short at the time of the meeting; he reported active efforts to obtain the final signature. Board members and several residents spoke in favor of dis‑annexation, citing operational needs for airport hangar construction, distinct infrastructure arrangements and preference for self‑management. Some speakers recalled prior de‑annexation conversations and asked for improved city communications if future regulations will affect the airport community.
Staff and council said they would prepare a de‑annexation agreement to accompany the ordinance; council voted 7–0 in favor of the ordinance’s first reading. Council asked staff to have the draft agreement ready for the second reading and to continue communications with property owners to resolve outstanding items.
Ending: The ordinance and a de‑annexation agreement will return for a second reading once the petition and draft agreement are complete.
