Annexation ordinance approved after procedural vote
Summary
The board voted to approve an annexation ordinance that completed its 14-day public-notice period; the clerk said required filings and publication will follow and the ordinance becomes effective 30 days after filing unless a remonstrance is filed.
The local governing board voted by voice to approve an annexation ordinance after staff confirmed the matter had completed the required 14-day public-notice period. A board member identified in the transcript as the clerk said the ordinance will be published again and the clerk’s office will file it with the county auditor, the circuit court clerk, the secretary of state and the census office.
The clerk told members that, under the applicable notice process (referenced in the transcript as "section 22"), the annexation becomes effective 30 days after those filings unless someone files a remonstrance seeking an appeal. The board agreed to proceed with the vote; the action was recorded as a voice vote in the transcript but no roll-call tally or named votes were provided.
The matter had been the subject of a prior public hearing, and no new objections or testimony were recorded in the transcript during the adoption vote. The clerk is responsible for the publication and filing steps required to finalize the annexation.
