This issue of annexation is no longer being considered in New Site.

A resolution to send an application to the legislature for annexing died due to lack of a motion at Monday night’s New Site Town Council meeting. It came up for discussion as Mayor Phil Blasingame explained a motion was needed to bring it from being tabled to a position of being able to vote annexation up or down. Councilmember Toby Hanson brought the motion to untable but would not it let get to a point of being voted on just yet .
