Council hears statutorily required Resolution of Services for Wall Road annexation petition
Summary
Economic Development Director Tom Morris presented Resolution No. 26-09 to satisfy the Ohio Revised Code 709.023 deadline for a proposed expedited Type 2 annexation of 94.2835 acres, clarifying the resolution states potential municipal services and does not approve annexation.
Economic Development Director Tom Morris explained the purpose of Resolution No. 26-09 was to satisfy a statutory filing requirement after an annexation petition for 94.2835 acres was submitted to the county. Morris emphasized that the measure "did not approve the annexation itself or determine whether annexation was in the City's best interest. Instead, it simply fulfilled the statutory requirement to identify what municipal services would be provided if annexation ultimately occurred."
Morris said the petition triggered statutory deadlines under Division (C) of Section 709.023 of the Ohio Revised Code, and because only one Council meeting fell within the twenty-day period the resolution was brought directly to Council for consideration; staff requested suspension of the three-reading rule to meet the statutory timeline. Council members asked clarifying questions about implications and timing; Economic Development staff reminded members that a separate opportunity to consider whether to approve annexation would arise between 60 and 120 days later.
