Resident opposes proposed annexation at Pascagoula City Council meeting
Summary
A resident told the Pascagoula City Council she opposes a proposed annexation being considered by the city; the council received an Amended Annexation Ordinance from the city attorney but a final council vote on that ordinance is not recorded in the provided transcript.
Mayor Jay Willis called the City Council of the City of Pascagoula to order on May 19, 2026, and opened the public comment period where a resident opposed an annexation under consideration.
Lisa Clark Cannon of Moss Point addressed the council and stated she opposed the proposed annexation and submitted a written statement for the city clerk’s file. Her remarks were recorded during the public comment portion of the meeting; the transcript does not show a council response to her points within the provided segments.
City Attorney Michael Moore presented an Amended Annexation Ordinance for council consideration and the ordinance text is entered in the minutes. The transcript records the ordinance’s presentation but does not include a subsequent roll-call vote on that ordinance in the supplied segments.
Why it matters: annexation changes city boundaries and can affect local services, taxes and zoning for residents near the annexed area. Members of the public who raised concerns asked the council to consider those effects on nearby property owners.
What happens next: the minutes record the ordinance text as spread upon the minutes; any further council action or final adoption of the annexation ordinance is not recorded in the provided transcript and therefore not specified here.
