Officials say 1989 documents require housekeeping; council adopts ordinance changes and approves first reading to deannex small airport parcels
Summary
Council members said staff found a 1989 resolution and plats that effectively annexed airport property but were not filed with the county; the body adopted Ordinance No. 17-20-25 (second reading) and approved Ordinance No. 18-20-25 (first reading) to clean up boundary and ownership inconsistencies, and staff described steps to deannex three privately owned parcels while leaving lagoons in city limits.
Unidentified Speaker 6 told the body that staff discovered a 1989 resolution and associated plats that appeared to annex airport real property and sewer lagoons but were not filed with the county. He said the city located the documents and the corresponding plats, filed them with the county, and then worked with the affected landowners to prepare petitions to deannex three small privately owned parcels while retaining the lagoons within city boundaries.
Speaker 6 said legal staff drafted ordinances to effect the housekeeping change; the council adopted Ordinance No. 17-20-25 on second reading. Speaker 5 moved to approve Ordinance No. 18-20-25 on first reading to deannex the three parcels; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Speaker 6 described that the deannexation was permitted under state statute as staff understood it, and emphasized the city’s effort to contact property owners and let them decide whether to remain in city limits. No detailed statutory citation was provided during the discussion. The council recorded the motions and carried both items by voice vote (SEG 169-183, SEG 184-245, SEG 273-281).
