The voters of the Town of Hideout voted on the following question:

On October 16, 2020, the Town Council of Hideout passed Ordinance No. 2020-10 which annexed the Silver Meadows Annexation of approximately 350 Acres into the Town of Hideout Boundary and Amended the Official Zoning Map. This annexation will take effect only if approved by the voters. Are you for or against the annexation taking effect?

The votes on the proposed law that was the subject of the referendum petition were counted, canvassed, and delivered as provided in Title 20A, Chapter 4, Part 3, Canvassing Returns. 

The local clerk has certified to the Town of Hideout Town Council the vote for and against Ordinance 2010-10 that is the subject of the referendum petition.

On June 22, 2021 Judge Jennifer Brown issued an oral ruling on case 200500107 Summit County v Hideout in the Fourth District Court on the legality of ordinance 2020-10 and granted Summit County’s motion for summary judgment finding that ordinance 2020-10 was not valid because Ordinance No. 2020-10 became effective after October 26, 2020 and its Certificate of Annexation from the Lt. Governor’s office is dated October 28, 2020. That oral ruling has not been finalized.

On June 29, 2021, the local board of canvassers completed the canvass.
