The Mobile city council could consider annexation changes soon.

An ordinance is being introduced tomorrow at the city council meeting to amend the city code.

District 2 Councilmen William Carroll says the goal is not to slow down or interrupt the annexation process but to provide some transparency to citizens when adding land and residents.

Carroll says the process change would start with a feasibility test, a cost-benefit analysis, and then a demographic study of the entire city.

Saying it adds an overall outline of what the city and citizens need to see before making a decision.

"This process when we do get to know what is going on in its entirety is a true process lined out that we can actually follow it through systematically we can make the best possible informed decision we can," said William Carroll, City of Mobile District 2 councilman.

In 2019 an effort to annex West Mobile failed, however city officials say new plans could be released in early 2023.
