Should City Council not take such action, the annexation will not take place. This petition was filed with Franklin County on February 16, 2009 City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on March 2, 2009. Franklin County approved the annexation on March 24, 2009 and the City Clerk received notice on April 3, 2009.
