Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

The Manor City Council ordered this charter amendment election in Ordinance No. 827, passed August 5, 2026, after the city's Charter Review Commission studied the charter and recommended amendments, according to the ordinance.

The amendment would rewrite Section 1.07 to say the council may annex or disannex land by ordinance on its own initiative, on petition of a majority of voters in the territory, or on petition of the property owners as allowed by law, and that boundary procedures may not be inconsistent with state law.

Under the proposed text, absent state procedures, annexation or disannexation could be adopted by ordinance after one public hearing held 10 to 20 days after published notice, and disannexed land would remain liable for unpaid city taxes and assessments.

Put on the ballot by Manor City Council, August 5, 2026 (Ordinance No. 827; vote not stated in the ordinance).
