Gainesville City Council is expected to hold an unscheduled meeting Thursday morning before its regular work session to vote again on amending its code to reduce the advertising requirements for annexations started by a local government. The current ordinance requires the city to publish a notice in a local newspaper at least 15 days prior to a public hearing before the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board. It also required that, at least 15 days before the hearing, the city post a sign on the property stating the date, time and place of the hearing.
