The Burns City Council has repealed the annexation of land east of the city.
In May 2006, the city's former administration took action to annex the Beechwood subdivision and surrounding areas. Several Beechwood residents filed suit, claiming Burns wouldn't offer new services to replace those already received by the Dickson County Sheriff's Office and the Burns Rural Fire service.
In a 5-0 vote this week, the council rescinded the annexation, saying it will move forward by adding other land.
