Body
On August 24, 2022, the City Commission passed a resolution authorizing the City Manager and City Attorney to reinitiate the annexation process for Little Gables by taking certain steps. One such step is to conduct meetings with members of the Board of County Commissioners to ascertain political support for the annexation. Some of these meetings can occur immediately and some will have to take place after the November 2022 election when all (“Board of County Commissioners”) BCC seats are filled.
The City Commission recognizes that having a member of the City Commission present at such meetings could help advance the City’s interests as it relates to the annexation. Additionally, due to the Sunshine Law, it is preferable to appoint only one elected official as the designee for purposes of these meetings. To that end, this resolution designates Mayor Lago as the Commission’s representative for the purpose of meeting with County officials regarding the annexation of Little Gables.
