LAUREL HILL— City Council Chairman Larry Hendren says the city has started a list of residents’ questions about proposed dissolution.
Residents may submit questions about what impact dissolving Laurel Hill as an incorporated city would have on individuals.
"One that comes off the top of my head, is what happened to another city,” Hendren said. “When the city dissolved, the street lights went out.”
Send questions to City Clerk Nita Miller, City Hall, 8209 Highway 85 N., Laurel Hill FL 32567, 652-4441, or clhclerk@fairpoint.net.
City officials are exploring possibly turning government functions over to Okaloosa County. Laurel Hill citizens would have to vote in favor of the proposal, and dissolution wouldn’t occur for several years.
Laurel Hill, Okaloosa County’s first city, was incorporated in 1905.
