The annexation gives Lake Wales responsibility for public safety responses on the listed roadways, but it does not otherwise expand the city’s jurisdiction over those areas. The commission also approved maintenance agreements for traffic signals and highway lighting, along with continued police equipment and data-storage services under a five-year Axon contract. Keith Thompson and Terri Miller were sworn in for new terms, and Thompson was appointed deputy mayor.
