She also said they do receive police, fire, EMS and sanitation pick up. Mayor Hashmi said he felt if the City was not going to provide services they should be allowed to disannex. Council Member Pickle said they were not paying for services they did not get, but only for services they do get. Bill Madding, 2225 361h NE. — he said when he bought the property sixteen years he was told they should be getting sewer. Mayor Hashmi asked Mr. Madding it would be acceptable if they made a conscious effort to get sewer to that area. He said they could ask the city manager to come up with some options. Mr. Madding also said that drainage issues continued to the point of washing away top soil and filling up ditches. Mayor Hashmi asked the citizens to give them a couple of Council meetings to allow time for the city manager to come up with a plan. 20.

Deidra Dollins, Joyce Lake and Ronald Dockery said they wanted to be disannexed because they had no sewer or water from the City. Mayor Hashmi said if the City was not going to provide services, he felt they should be disannexed. Mr. Godwin said he would bring this back to the City Council.
