(KAIR)--Three voices of opposition were heard during a public hearing, focused on the annexation of property, early in Monday's meeting of the Atchison City Commission.
At issue was the annexation of six tracts of land on U.S. Highway 59. Myrna Mcconnaughey, of 10894 U.S. Highway 59, was among the three, and spoke first. “I don't want to be inside the city limits,” she told the Commissioners. “You have nothing to offer me except higher taxes and forcing me to hook to the sewer. I get $770 a month, and how am I going to do that?”
According to documentation provided by the City of Atchison, the Resolution of Intent to annex the six tracts was approved by the Commission on March 5, with the affected property owners notified of the plan.
The City's Planning Commission found it compatible with adopted land use, and the Resolution of Intent was published April 25.
Following Commission Discussion, the vote was called to adopt the ordinance to proceed with annexation, and it was approved on a 3 to 2 vote, with Commissioners Charlie Perdue and David Hausmann voting in opposition to annexation.
