PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
City election ward boundaries must be adjusted to conform to city limit amendments resulting from annexing property into the city. The City Council approved the annexation of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Skinner Subdivision on April 23, 2012 (Annexation #12-02). The property is located at 325 and 337 Lincoln Lane in the Billings Heights. This annexation requires a change in the boundaries of Ward II to include the subject property. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance is scheduled for May 14, 2012, and the second reading is scheduled for May 29, 2012.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The subject property has already been annexed into the City. The process to complete the annexation of the property is for the City Council to include the subject property in the corresponding City Ward. Ward II is the appropriate Ward for this property. The City Council should conduct the public hearing and may approve first reading of the ordinance that adjusts the Ward II boundary.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There should be no direct financial impact to the City by adding the subject property to Ward II.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council hold a public hearing and approve this ordinance on first reading adding recently annexed property to Ward II.
