to order. Minutes of the December 14 regular session and Decem-

A petition for annexation by H/M Partners and Magnolia
Trace, Inc., was reviewed. The property to be annexed consists
of approximately 487 acres and will be annexed by a series of
special meetings Mayor Nix said. He had given a schedule of
the meetings to the councilmembers and remarked this procedure
is necessary as Fairhope and Daphne have overlapping Police
Jurisdictions and the owners have expressed a desire to come
into Fairhope City Limits and will help simplify the process
when they are ready to come before the Planning & Zoning Com-
mission. The subdivision will be known as Rock Creek. After
discussion, Councilman Duck introduced Ordinance No. 906 to
annex the property in writing. In order to take immediate
action Councilman Bishop moved to suspend the rules. Seconded
by Councilwoman Puckett, motion to suspend passed unanimously
by the following vote: AYE -Duck, Ford, Bishop, Nix, Puckett

Mayor Nix mentioned that at the City Auction two weeks
ago the Case Trencher had not sold. We had put a minimum of
$2,000 on it but no one was willing to pay that. He said
it is not running and we would like to go ahead and get rid
of it. He would like to recruit sealed bids for the sale of
it to be at a time that Wayne and Phil can set. Councilman
Overstreet moved to solicit bids for this sale, Councilman
Duck seconded motion and it passed unanimously.
Mayor Nix, at this time, told the council and members
of the audience that Jo Ann Collins, who has been covering
meetings for the last 9 years, will be leaving our area
