Summary
Council voted to adopt Resolution 761 asking the town clerk to investigate the sufficiency of a petition from Smithfield Growth LLC to annex about 85.85 acres to the town; the motion carried after staff presentation.
The Town of Smithfield council voted to adopt Resolution 761 to have the town clerk investigate the sufficiency of a petition by Smithfield Growth LLC seeking voluntary annexation of roughly 85.85 acres into town limits.
Staff described the petition as a contiguous annexation related to the larger Local 70 project and explained the clerk’s initial role is to verify signatures and procedural sufficiency before any further council action. Council moved to adopt the resolution and the motion carried.
The clerk’s investigation is a procedural step under state annexation rules; if the petition is found sufficient the annexation process will proceed according to the town’s ordinances and state law, including required notices and subsequent council actions.
