Summary
Council approved Ordinance 2026-20 to annex 327.06 acres owned by the State of Ohio into the city; the law director noted a 30-day waiting period before the ordinance takes effect and staff expects the petition filing the week of July 13. The mayor recorded an employment-related abstention.
The Xenia City Council on June 11 voted to annex 327.06 acres of land owned by the State of Ohio into the city under Ordinance 2026-20.
The council opened a public hearing on the annexation and, with no public speakers, closed the hearing. The law director (Miss Fisher) told council that a 30-day waiting period is required before the ordinance becomes effective and said staff anticipates the petition filing the week of July 13.
After discussion and with no additional comment from staff, council voted to approve the annexation ordinance. During the roll call one member (the mayor) recorded an abstention, citing an employment-related conflict.
The law director clarified that the council’s action this evening authorizes the city law director to proceed with required steps for annexation, and that the statutory waiting period applies before the annexation becomes effective.
Next steps: staff to file the petition as indicated and complete the statutory waiting period before the annexation becomes effective.
