Bastrop opts for no action on ETJ requests

BASTROP — Cit y Council last week once again tabled a petition for disannexation of two acres of land from the town’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, taking a wait-and-see stance on the upcoming legislative session or court action.

The petition for release under Senate Bill 2038 originally was heard at the Aug. 27 meeting and again at the Sept. 10 session and was postponed both times.

Assistant to the City Manager Vivianna Andres and City Attorney Alan Bojorquez both counseled against releasing the property, since SB 2038 provides for automatic disannexation within a set time if the council takes no action.
