The Alabama Legislature currently is considering a bill to annex a piece of property near Saddle Lake Farms into Alabaster. If approved, the bill would make Saddle Lake Farms contiguous to Alabaster city limits, and would pave the way for neighborhood residents to vote on annexing Saddle Lake into Alabaster.  I am in favor of the annexation of this property and request your support in the passing of this bill.

Passage of this bill will allow the residents of Saddle Lake to vote whether their community remains in Shelby County or joins the City of Alabaster.  If the majority of votes are pro-annexation, Saddle Lake neighborhood children will be allowed to remain in the Alabaster school system, the neighborhood will receive greatly needed improved fire and police protection, see safety and cost savings with a upgrade in their fire ISO rating from class 7 to 4, and have staved off an anticipated 20% decrease in neighborhood home values.  All of these are extremely important items to the overwhelming majority of Saddle Lake Farms residents.

Please allow the residents the right to determine their own fate.
