NORTH PORT (SNN TV) – A local judge will hear arguments from residents who want to separate from the city of North Port.
The Herald-Tribune reports Circuit Court Judge Danielle Brewer will hear from residents Monday starting at 10 a.m. Members of the West Villagers for Responsible Government are mostly made up of Wellen Park residents. They want North Port to de-annex 13,900 acres west of the Myakka River because they’re unhappy with how the city is being run.
The topic on Monday will concern an October 2022 commission meeting. The city was ordered to revisit its April 2021 denial of the group’s petition. While the City Commission heard extensive public comment, they didn’t accept new testimony.
The West Villagers’ attorney said the city “absolutely did not consider the evidentiary record and make special factual findings in accord with the quashed order.”
The Zoom ID to watch the arguments is 583 020 2997; the password is 040201. For audio only, dial 253-215-8782 and use the same meeting ID. Recordings of the proceedings are not permitted.
