Eddie Sundquist<\/strong>, who asked the city to table the motion.<\/p>\nMayor Teresi also spent more than half-an-hour explaining why the annexation is being pursued in addition to outlining the various ways the city has and will continue to work with its neighbors, despite the legal dispute involving the annexation.<\/p>\n
The only council member to vote against the annexation resolutions was outgoing Jamestown City Councilman Andrew Liuzzo<\/strong>. Councilwoman Tamu Graham-Reinhardt<\/strong> was recused from voting because she cited a conflict of interest, being an employee of the Falconer School District.<\/p>\nThe City Council actually voted on a total of three resolutions involving the annexation – with the final resolution involving the date for the Public Hearing – tentatively set for Wednesday, December 18 at 7 p.m. inside JCC’s Scharmann Theatre.<\/p>\n
Following that Public Hearing, the council will have up to 90 days to formally vote for or against the annexation. That vote could come as early as the December 30 voting session. But councilman Tony Dolce<\/strong> said that more than likely it would take place following the new year when Sundquist is sworn into office and a new council is in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0ALSO AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown City Council voted 7 to 1 Monday night in favor of filing a petition for annexation of the Dow Street Substation property in Falconer.
