If City Council does not accept the ordinance within 120 days of its first consideration, the annexation will be considered rejected. This petition was filed with Franklin County on January 10, 2018. City Council approved a service ordinance addressing the site on January 22, 2018. Franklin County approved the annexation on February 13, 2018 and the City Clerk received notice on March 12, 2018.
