Council members are scheduled take their first vote on the plan to annex 115 “island” properties in Hall County at their meeting today. Members voted in December to approve the first reading of the annexation, but never held a second vote because Hall County filed an objection with the Department of Community Affairs. The city’s planning and appeals board is scheduled at 9 a.m. today to hear public comment and consider whether to recommend approving or denying Gainesville’s request.
