Editor's note–Former section 2.02 pertaining to extension of boundaries, was repealed and deleted in its entirety by Ordinance 1374 adopted 2/6/2024, prop. B, approved at election of 5/4/2024. Prior to the deletion, this section derived from the following: the 5/9/2009 election and Resolution 2015-007 adopted 2/17/15, prop. 2, approved at election of 5/9/15.
Subject to the limitations prescribed by State Law, the Council may contract the boundaries of the City by passing an ordinance removing territory from the limits of the City. The procedures for disannexing territory from the City must be consistent with State law.
If there is property within the limits of the City which is not suitable for development, the Council may initiate action to disannex the property. Prior to final action on the ordinance, the City must obtain the written approval of the majority of the qualified voters residing in the area, or if uninhabited, the approval of the majority of the owners of that area. If the City is unable to obtain such approval, the Council may order an election to be held within the City; and, if at the election, the majority of the legal voters voting at the election cast their vote in favor of disannexing said area, the Council shall cause the property to be disannexed and thereby adjust the limits of the City.
