Several residents used the public-comment period to raise land-use and public-safety concerns. Amelia Ko, who said her family owns about 640 acres outside Quanah, asked council not to make city water contingent on annexation: “We do not wish to become part of the city through annexation,” she said, adding that her operations have relied on private well water and that property owners outside the city “should have the ability to choose whether they become part of the city.”
