Council approves annexation of Island Territory after unanimous readings

The Prairie Grove City Council voted to annex the Island Territory after moving the ordinance through its second and third readings. Mr. Fauler presented the annexation as unfinished business, describing it as proceeding from earlier hearings and noting there had been no public comment on the measure.

The council placed the ordinance on second reading, then later moved forward with third reading. Roll-call votes were recorded with the council answering in the affirmative during each recorded vote. The mayor announced the motion passed after the roll-call.

The annexation will be processed under the ordinance language presented; staff will carry next steps as required by state statute and the city’s procedures for newly annexed territory. The council did not record any amendments or conditions during the readings and no additional public comment was received at the time of the vote.
