Only if you assume a railroad ONLY owns the tracks.

all property owners are required to "sign off." Where does the annexation ordinance say it requires 100% of the property owners to sign an annexation petition?


The petition for annexation requires that all property owners wishing to be, and included in, an annexation must sign off the petition. In their rush to thwart the SG movement Kip and the metro council screwed it up.

But it does not require ALL property owners to sign....only 50%+.
Eta: the second image you posted is not showing up for me so I don't know what it is. All I see is a blue box with a question mark in it.

Having trouble getting to article on mobile.

Basically, the level ventures property is what connected the mall to the hospital. The property was vital to connecting the mall. Level ventures signed the petition for annexation, however they did not own all of what they signed for.

That's not what the FB article you tried to link says. It says they signed for some of the lots which they owned.

Again the annexation ordinance does not require 100% of the property owners being annexed to sign the annexation petition. It only requires 50%+ to ask to be annexed. If that happens then all of the area within the boundaries designated in the petition can be annexed by a vote of the council.

There was nothing in the FB article about the supposedly railroad issue you mentioned. Do you have a link for that?

The date of the article you linked is May 20. If there was any substance to this story don't you think other "real" media would be reporting on it by now? Woody Jenkins is not exactly known for his "journalism" integrity.

The bill had nothing to do with St. George.

The political consultants, I mean "volunteers" for St George are simply using this as a propaganda moment to imply that they were victimized somehow.

The bill was about the state forcing school districts to delegate fiscal responsibility away from the school board to the principals - who work for the school board. I couldn't say it is bad or good, but it had no impact on St. George.

You can change the argument to the validity of the source if you like. Its all in black and white. The cash sale I posted along with the petition itself. Its not a matter of validity.

Doesn't change the fact you can't sign for property you don't own.

Carry on with the debate gentlemen. This will all sort itself soon enough.

The FB article you tried to link does not say they signed for property they don't own so your statement is irrelevant.

I see you completely ignored my other comment about the railroad. That's very revealing.

The information about the railroad will come out in due time. No, I'm not privvy to anything top secret, but their property was used without permission to make the annexation contiguous, and it has the attention of people with power (not me, ha)

The property thats listed in the cash sale was included in the annexation petition as being owned by level ventures....and they don't own it.


You might want to also investigate why the properties that were voted on for annexation are not legally annexed yet.

When is "due time"? When would be too late?
