The Gainesville City Council voted on several agenda items Tuesday evening, but one item was conspicuous by its absence and that was the annexation of 155 “island” properties that the council approved at its meeting on Dec. 4. One resident, Martha Kimbrell, said she attended the City Council meeting expecting to voice her opinion against the annexation of her commercial property. Community Development Director Rusty Ligon told her the public hearing had already happened — there were two public hearings held on Dec. 4.
