Council approves annexation of 932 Barrus St.; Ordinance 139 recorded
Summary
After a public hearing, the Irwin City Council voted to annex 932 Barrus St. into the city to give the city control of the road to the Irwin Slide; the action was recorded as Ordinance 139 (Ehman Annexation).
The City of Irwin held a public hearing on a proposal to annex a parcel at 932 Barrus St. and subsequently voted to adopt the annexation, which the minutes record as Ordinance 139 (Ehman Annexation).
P&Z Administrator Jay Rice opened the hearing and described the stated purpose: to bring the parcel into the city so the city would have control of the portion of road leading to the Irwin Slide. During public comment, resident Larita Traughber Dial asked, “Do all the lots have to annex into the City, does annexing one lot affect all the lots in the subdivision?” Rice said he did not have an immediate answer and that the city attorney had been consulted before scheduling the hearing. After public comment closed, Councilmember Shane Fisher moved to annex the property; Council President Darrel Ricks seconded. The record shows Councilmembers Terrie Stromberg, Teresa Dumont, Shane Fisher, Marc Weimar and Troy Vias voted aye and the motion passed.
The minutes list the formal item as Ordinance 139 — Ehman Annexation — and record it as approved following the hearing. The council did not record any dissenting votes in the minutes. The minutes do not specify whether additional lots in the subdivision were required to annex or the legal mechanism for multi-lot annexation; the city attorney had been consulted but the minutes report no further legal clarification at the meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the ordinance was entered on the agenda as approved and no follow-up schedule or implementation timeline is included in the record.
