Commissioner Fountain passed his vote: Commissioner Bunker asked what would be the status of property owned by the City within the boundaries of a proposed unincorporated town, should the unincorporated town be legally formed. Commissioner Bunker made particular reference to a public notice of hearing on April 8, 1957, re­garding a proposed unincorporated town east of the City which he thought would include the new sewer plant and other City-owned property to the east. City Attorney Cannon advised the Commission that such property could be taken into and included in an unincorporated town and that the City should protest, should they not desire City property to be included in an unin­corporated town. Commissioner Bunker requested that a map be drawn of the proposed unincorp­orated town to determine what City property might be affected. City Manager Kennedy reported that the map would be available very shortly. Commissioner Bunker moved that the City enter an official protest of in­clusion of property owned by the City within the proposed unincorporated town.
