State Street, Rockford, Illinois for the consideration of a proposed Annexation Agreement for 14xx Edson Road, 15xx Edson Road, 16xx Edson Road and a portion of 8631 11th Street. Alderman Logemann asked for questions or comments from the council members and the general public with regard to the Annexation Agreement.

Director Hammer stated there was a unique set of circumstances at the Code and Regulation Committee meeting last week. She reported that only three members of the Code and Regulation Committee were present and Illinois Law requires three affirmative votes to approve an item. She explained the committee report received a 2 to 1 vote and, therefore, the recommendation from the Code and Regulation Committee reflected a denial. The following citizens offered comment on the proposed Annexation Agreement of 14xx Edson Road, 15xx Edson Road, 16xx Edson Road and a portion of 8631 11th Street: Gloria Bleakley voiced her frustrations and stated she felt the city was trying to hide behind rules and procedures.
