The City Council s decision in the Step 2 process can be appealed, although only on very limited grounds as it is a legislative act. Up to four elections can be held per year in March, May, September, and November. If an annexation request is scheduled by the City Council for a primary or general election, election costs for the applicant should be minimal. For any other election, the election cost will be split proportionally between the City and the applicant. The following steps describe the Step 1 and 2 process.
Petitioner attends pre-application conference.
Petitioner completes petition form, written submittal, and drawings per CDC Section 81.040. Petitioner submits three legible copies of the legal description and each deed reference. Petitioner submits Metro filing fee in the form of a deposit. The City will submit the fee to Metro from the deposit after the annexation has been approved by the voters. Staff schedules City Council hearing within 30 days of receiving a complete petition submittal.
