Altus council authorizes annexation proceedings for two properties, including Western Heritage Golf Club
Summary
The council authorized staff to begin formal annexation proceedings for roughly 32 acres at the NE intersection of Highway 62 and Challenger Road and separately for the Western Heritage Golf Club (property described in the record). Both actions direct staff to prepare required documents and public notices under Title 11 of the Oklahoma statutes.
The City of Altus City Council voted to authorize staff to initiate the formal annexation process for two separate properties.
First, council authorized annexation proceedings for a parcel of approximately 32 acres at the northeast intersection of Highway 62 and Challenger Road. Staff said they would prepare required annexation documents, public notices and schedule hearings for future council consideration, under Title 11 of the Oklahoma statutes, Section 21-101.
Second, the council authorized initiation of annexation proceedings for the Western Heritage Golf Club (the transcript gives a street number that is unclear in wording). Staff noted that although many residents believed the golf course was already inside city limits, it had not previously been annexed.
Both authorizations were motions to start the process; the council directed staff to return with formal annexation hearings and documentation. Vote calls for both items recorded affirmative roll-call votes.
Why it matters: Annexation would change jurisdictional boundaries, subject properties to city ordinances, taxes and services and could affect property owners and service provision. The council did not take final annexation action at this meeting; it approved only the initiation of the formal process.
What’s next: Staff will prepare the required notices and hearing schedules for future council action under the statutory annexation procedures.
