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 owned by Jamey Eisenbarth (Annexation #17-03) on August 14, 2017. The subject property is about 18 acres in size and described as Tract 2, Certificate of Survey 3426. The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Santiago Boulevard and Blue Creek Road south of the Yellowstone River. This requires a change in the boundaries of Ward III. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance was held by the City Council on August 28, 2017 along with a public hearing. The second reading is scheduled for this meeting.

City Council may approve or not approve the ordinance to amend the boundaries of Ward III on second reading.

• Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward III to include the property owned by Jamey Eisenbarth.
• Not approving the ordinance will not modify the boundaries of Ward III and create a problem where property inside the City Limits is not within one of the City Ward Boundaries.

There is no budget/financial impact from this action.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve this ordinance on second reading, adding recently annexed property to Ward III.
