Leeds council to consider Silver Reef Investments disconnection ordinance and boundary-action notice
October 28, 2026, 7:00 p.m. · Leeds Town Hall, 218 N. Main Street
The Leeds Town Council's Oct. 28 agenda included Ordinance 2026-07 approving a property disconnection petition from Silver Reef Investments Holdings and two other owners, and Resolution 2026-11 approving a notice of impending boundary action for the lieutenant governor; the draft documents in the meeting packet were unsigned. The draft ordinance says the council had serious concerns about environmental issues from development of the Silver Reef Investments property and could not agree with the company on mitigation, and that it wanted to avoid liability. The agenda also included agriculture protection areas, a quarterly budget update, a Washington County task force, a notice to expand an annexation area and an update on the Three Peaks to Purgatory transmission line. Results were not yet posted.

Item 10b · Annexation
Ordinance 2026-07: approve disconnection petition
Pending
The draft ordinance adjusts the town boundary by disconnecting property owned by Silver Reef Investments Holdings, LLC and by two other petitioners who joined, with an updated plat as Exhibit A. The petition was received in February 2026 and a public hearing was held March 25. The council passed Ordinance 2026-04 approving the disconnection in June, then learned the petitioners had not obtained the final local entity plat required from the county surveyor; they have now obtained it. The draft states the council has serious concerns about environmental issues from development of the company's property, could not agree with the company on mitigating measures, and wants to avoid liability.
