Middletown council approves fiscal plan for 5th Street annexation, schedules public hearing
Summary
The Middletown Town Council approved Resolution 2-2014, a fiscal-plan resolution for the 2014 5th Street annexation, and introduced Ordinance 2-2014, scheduling a public hearing on the annexation for Sept. 16, 2014; the Clerk-Treasurer was directed to publicize the hearing per state law.
The Middletown Town Council on July 1 approved Resolution 2-2014, a fiscal-plan resolution connected to the proposed annexation of contiguous territory along 5th Street. Clerk-Treasurer Drew Cooper read the resolution aloud; Council Member Norm Purdue moved to approve the resolution and Town Council President Betty Riley seconded. The motion passed unanimously with all five council members present.
At the same meeting the council introduced Ordinance 2-2014, an ordinance to annex certain contiguous territory to the town of Middletown. The council scheduled a public hearing on the proposed annexation for Sept. 16, 2014 and council President Betty Riley directed Clerk-Treasurer Drew Cooper to publicize the hearing according to state law.
Why it matters: annexation ordinances and associated fiscal plans set how newly annexed areas will be brought into town services and tax structures; the scheduled public hearing gives residents a formal opportunity to comment before any final action on the ordinance.
What happens next: the public hearing on Ordinance 2-2014 is set for Sept. 16, 2014; the clerk’s office was tasked with public notification of the hearing.
