Board sets hearings on deannexation of Avondale territory to Maricopa County
Summary
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on July 13 to set hearings on a proposed deannexation of territory from the city of Avondale to Maricopa County; the motion was moved, seconded and approved during the informal public meeting.
The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on July 13 to set hearings on a proposed deannexation of territory from the city of Avondale to Maricopa County. The chair introduced Item 1, describing it as the setting of hearings on deannexation, and asked for a motion.
A board member moved to approve Item 1; another member seconded the motion. "I move that we approve item number 1," said the chair during the motion; after a second and no further discussion, the board proceeded to a voice vote and the motion passed unanimously.
The hearings will give the board and the public an opportunity to review the proposal and accept comment before any final decision. The transcript records the board taking the procedural step to set those hearings; no additional details about the proposed boundary, timeline for the hearings, or the rationale for deannexation were provided in the public portion of this meeting.
Roll call earlier in the meeting recorded five supervisors present (Supervisor Stewart; Supervisor Galvin, joining remotely; Vice Chair Lesko; Supervisor Gallardo; and Chair Brophy McGee), and the vote on the motion was unanimous among those present. The board did not provide further substantive discussion or documentation about the deannexation during this public session.
