Regular Council Meeting July 13, 2015 Page 7 law. Mr. McIlyar said it was according to the law and referenced the Willow Park Case which does not allow you to create islands or carve off portions of the City. Mrs. Hudgens confirmed they owned their property prior to it being disannexed in 1995. She said at the June 8t' meeting it was a consensus of the Council that their property be allowed disannexation. She said the minutes said the City Council directed city staff to proceed with those proceedings and then asked if the delay was because of the other requests for disannexation. Mr. McIlyar said at that meeting the Council asked staff to make sure the City heard from everyone and then set a time limit of two weeks for property owners to get their requests for disannexation filed with the City. Mr. McIlyar said those requests had been trickling in over the last couple of weeks. Mrs. Hudgens said theirs was actually approved a month before that. Mr. McIlyar said it was not approved until two public hearings were conducted and an ordinance passed by the City Council. Mrs. Hudgens said that was right and then asked why the hearings had not been set. Mr. McIlyar explained that the requests needed to be all together; because her property was right in the center and without consideration of all of them together the City could have a piecemeal ordinance. Mr. McIlyar explained the procedures and said the Council would have to formally vote on an ordinance after the statutory public hearings and that the Council wanted to give everyone in that area a chance to filed their disannexation requests. Charles Keys explained that Mr. Godwin was to have provided him with a copy of the map and if he had done so, then the property owners would have been prepared. Mr. Keys said not all of the property owners were reflected on the map who had either e- mailed the City for reinstatement of disannexation requests file in 2013 or filed disannexation requests. Mr. Keys said the following had done one or the other: Boyd & Deborah Hudgens, Ann Huffinan, Larry & Patsy Smith, Marty Fitzgerald, Cleve Fendley, Jason Petty, James Jones, Beverly Moore, William Whitis- Randall Sebolt;, Marry White -Jimmy Hodges, Donna Johnson, Peggy Wilson - Todd Worthey, Wayne Chapman, Charles -Rima Ausmus, Vernon Worthey, Larry and Patsy Smith (again), Bari -Ilmi Mehmeti, Patrick Devoss- Sylvena, William - Pamela Fuller, Charles Keys, DFW Vending, Charles Allee, Odessa King, Jody -Vicki Humphrey, Alan Parks, John Cody -Lone Woodard, and Larry -Mary Lou Coe. Mr. Keys said the only gap was the Clifford property. He also said they had not heard from the Whites. Council Member Clifford said he did not know if that was property was maybe land his brother or parents owned or had owned. Mr. McIlyar said he would double check with the engineering department the names given to him. Council Member Plata said they should wait until everyone gets their information into them prior to proceeding with disannexation. Mayor Hashmi said if they could not legally disannex 10 or 28, then they would have to abide by the law. With regard to the rest of the properties, he said they should be allowed to disannex from the City. Mr. McIlyar said he needed to confirm whether or not they had heard from the Whites, because the surrounding property owners had filed for disannexation and they would have a problem in that the City would be placing the White property on an island. Mr. McIlyar expressed concern in that without that boundary break, the City would not be able to connect back to the airport.
