The Coweta City Council on July 7 approved a resolution initiating annexation procedures and set a public hearing for Aug. 4, 2025, to consider adding territory to the city limits described generally as land south of East 101st Street, north of East 106th Street, east of 264th East Avenue and west of 273rd East Avenue and bordering State Highway 51 (the Muskogee Turnpike). Community Development Director Carolyn Back led the discussion and presented the legal description and exhibit references included in the resolution.

Resolution 2025-20 directs the City Manager to take actions required by Oklahoma annexation law, referencing Title 11, Oklahoma Statutes, Section 21-101 et seq., and sets the public hearing for Monday, Aug. 4, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at Coweta City Hall. The motion to adopt Resolution 2025-20 was moved by Mayor Naomi Hogue, seconded by Jeremy Barnett, and passed with Naomi Hogue, Jeremy Barnett, Joshua Wilburn, Lauren Givan and Caroline Martin voting aye.

The resolution and accompanying exhibits more particularly identify the property in the legal description and map attached as Exhibits "A-1" and "A-2." The council record does not specify anticipated effects on services, tax revenues or timelines for final action after the public hearing; those matters remain to be addressed at the hearing and in subsequent council proceedings.

The public hearing is the next formal step specified by the council's action; property owners, residents and interested parties may appear at the Aug. 4 hearing to comment before the council considers any final annexation ordinance.
