MEASURE NO. 24-89City of St. PaulBallot Title:Referred to The People by The City Council Measure Requiring A City Wide Vote On All Annexations QUESTION: Shall all future annexations, including delayed, unless mandated by law, require a majority vote of the electors to be valid? SUMMARY: Annexation is the legal process to bring property inside the City limits. Under current law, all annexation requests are approved or disapproved by the City Council or in the discretion of the City Council referred to the voters. This proposal would change that and amend the City Charter to require that an annexation request must be voted on by the citizens of St. Paul, and receive a majority vote, before such request is approved. The request would still have to meet all land use laws.
