Statutory requirement for notification was duly complied with, providing notice within 10 days prior to the City Council meeting. The statute requires land owner and taxpayer to be notified. The City sent notification twice, by certified mail. The owner of the property, Jeff Talano, was present at the Committee of the Whole meeting two weeks ago. The City has complied all statutory requirements to pass the involuntary annexation.
The property owner, Jeff Talano, was present and addressed the Council.
Mayor addressed Council and Jeff Talano. The City did attempt to work with the current property owner to bring the property into compliance. Seeing no action or resolution, the City is taking action to annex, because the owner’s belongings are spilling outside his property limits.
