Killian board votes to reject Huff Chapel de‑annexation petition
Summary
The Killian Board of Aldermen unanimously voted April 13 to reject a petition to de‑annex the Huff Chapel/Hwy 22 area after brief discussion about the cost of a legal review. The board had earlier considered asking the town attorney to review the petition but opted to deny it without spending additional resources.
The Killian Board of Aldermen voted unanimously April 13 to reject a petition seeking de‑annexation of the Huff Chapel/Hwy 22 area. Alderman Wesley Bignar moved to reject the petition and Alderman Corey Beasley seconded; the vote was recorded as Yeas: Nick Guthrie, Wesley Bignar, Corey Beasley, Ronnie Sharp and Trevor Clardy, Nays: none.
The motion followed an earlier resolution to ask the town attorney either to review the de‑annexation petition and any related ordinance or to reject the petition outright. Board members discussed whether it would be worth allocating town resources to a legal review and, after opening the floor for comment, determined not to pursue further review and to reject the petition.
The record does not show any amendment, conditions or follow‑up assignment tied to the rejection. No public comment in favor of the petition is recorded in the meeting minutes. The board did not specify next procedural steps related to the petition at the meeting.
