Information
PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
City election ward boundaries must be adjusted to conform to city limit amendments resulting from annexation of property into the city. The City Council approved the annexation of property described as Zimmerman Acreage Tracts (Resolution 12-19207) on August 27, 2012. This requires a change in the boundaries of Ward IV. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance was held on September 10, 2012, along with a public hearing, and the second reading is scheduled for September 24, 2012.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may approve or not approve the ordinance to amend the boundary of Ward IV on second reading. Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward IV to include the recently annexed property. Denying the ordinance will not modify the boundaries of Ward IV and create a problem where property inside the City Limits is not within one of the City Ward Boundaries.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There should be no financial impact from approval of this ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve this ordinance on second reading adding recently annexed property to Ward IV.
