The city council may by ordinance annex or disannex any land, property or territory
upon its own initiative, or upon a petition submitted by a majority of the voters
or the property owners residing within the territory being annexed or disannexed.
The procedure for the establishment, modification or extension of the city boundaries,
and the annexation or disannexation of territory may not be inconsistent with the
applicable requirements and limitations established by state law, including the requirements
for notice and public hearings; provided that absent procedures being established
by state law the action may be taken by ordinance adopted after a public hearing is
held at least ten (10) but not more than twenty (20) days after notice of such public
hearing is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. The city council
may hold more than one public hearing and all interested persons appearing at the
public hearing or hearings shall be heard. Upon final passage of an ordinance, fixing,
establishing or modifying the boundaries of the city, or annexing or disannexing any
property by any method prescribed herein, the boundaries of the city shall be so extended
or modified as provided in such ordinance. Upon an ordinance annexing property into
the city, the territory described in the ordinance shall become a part of the city,
and the said land and its residents and future residents shall be bound by this charter
and the acts, ordinances, codes, resolutions and regulations of the city.
