Gainesville and Hall County will head to arbitration over the city’s plan to annex 115 “island properties,” lawyers from both sides said. City and county officials met last week to discuss the annexation, but at the end of the meeting they decided to move ahead with the mediation, said Gainesville’s annexation attorney, Frank Jenkins III of Jenkins & Bowen in Cartersville. There are no plans to meet again, he said.
