WORKSHOP SESSION
1. DENNEY ANNEXATION/DEANNEXATION
Gordon Pedrow, Assistant City Manager, gave a brief
summary of the item by stating that Mrs. Edith Denney has
made a request to the City of Glendale that her property
known as the Denney Ranch be allowed to be annexed by the
City of Litchfield Park because of long-standing ties of the
Denney family to that community. The subject property is
currently under the jurisdiction of Maricopa County, but lies
within and on the southern edge of the strip annexation
boundary of the City of Glendale.
Mr. Van Haren, Glendale's City Attorney, briefed Council
on the process needed to make the property available to
Litchfield Park. He stated that this method is legally
possible under state statutes which permit the deannexation
of property from one municipality to another subject to the
approval of the County Board of Supervisors. He stated that
after the deannexation ordinances were done by the
surrounding cities, Litchfield Park would then be able to
prepare an annexation ordinance annexing this property into
their jurisdiction.
Mr. Bill Farrell, City Attorney of Litchfield Park, gave
a brief history of the property in question and said that
Litchfield Park would like to annex the property to make
provision for future growth.
Mr. Kleinschmidt, City Manager of Goodyear, gave a brief
history of the subject property and the position of Goodyear
in this action. He said Goodyear was in favor of the
procedure.
This item will be placed on the September 12th Council
agenda for formal consideration.
