Boundary dispute delays action on city limits
The council delayed a decision on the boundary issue after Ward requested a week’s extension. Ward and Barron had announced they would not introduce a bill to annex the 2000 plus acres owned by the Coleman L. Kelly Trust this session. Council members debated maps and potential court action to restore the pre 1984 boundary, citing tax revenue and census implications. Dewey Destin Jr. urged pursuing a court ruling to revert to the original boundary description before the 1984 legislative revision.
