The Clarkesville City Council voted 4-1, with council member Bobby Webb opposed, Monday not to annex property purchased by Habersham County recently for a new judicial center.

Council member Franklin Brown made the motion not to annex the property, with council member Tina Evans providing the second.

The vote not to annex followed a failed motion by Webb to annex the property, located on Highway 17 (Toccoa Highway) at Hills Crossing Road.
