Get the adopted annexation petition fee ordinance text
Applies if: Client has an annexation petition pending or planned
Why now: Council approved the Section 14-1341 amendment on second reading 6-2 on 2026-09-08 as Enactment No. 034012, but the record states no fee amount or effective date.
What to do: Obtain the enacted ordinance (Enactment No. 034012) amending Section 14-1341 and check whether it sets a fee amount, a payment timing rule, and an effective date. Clients with pending or planned annexation petitions need to know which petitions the fee applies to, since the supplied record verifies no implementation date.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why annexation petition fee vote split from 8-0 to 6-2
Why now: The ordinance passed first reading 8-0 on 2026-09-01 with no public comment, then passed second reading 6-2 on 2026-09-08 with Hernandez and Paxson against and Mayor Guajardo abstaining (Enactment No. 034012).
What to do: Request the staff presentation and any fee calculation Interim Director Yvette Wallace gave Council, and ask Council Members Hernandez and Paxson why they opposed. Also ask Mayor Guajardo why he abstained. The public never saw the reasoning behind the shift.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
