Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Resolution 2017-57, A Resolution to Approve Private Chapter 22 of the Tennessee General Assembly, Modifying the City of Franklin Charter Relative to Annexation or Deannexation of Property.
Background
In January, the BOMA adopted Resolution 2016-84, which set forth an amendment to the City Charter to clarify a discrepancy between the Charter and state law relative to the type of document used to accomplish annexation or deannexation. The change provides that annexation or deannexation shall be accomplished by ordinance or resolution as provided by state law, and maintains that such document will require three (3) readings. The resolution was sent to the General Assembly and approved by Private Act 22. Pursuant to Resolution 2016-84 and the Private Act, the BOMA must now approve Private Act 22 by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the membership, and such approval must be certified to the Secretary of State in order for the Charter change to become effective.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact associated with this resolution.

Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2017-57 as presented.
