In court documents, Bunge maintained that the annexation was invalid because it lacked authority to annex the land, as well as claiming the city failed to comply with the necessary procedures incident to the annexation.
Calls made to Bunge’s attorney, Richard Eckert, have not been returned as of mid-afternoon.
Henderson says he hasn’t had an in-depth discussion with city staff on what the next move could or should be, and hopes to have an answer within the next couple of weeks.
