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 a Yellowstone County road easement for Grand Avenue, a portion of County Road Petition Number 37 (Annexation #12-07 ROW) on November 13, 2012. This requires a change in the boundaries of Ward IV. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance is scheduled for December 10, 2012 along with a public hearing, and the second reading is scheduled for December 17, 2012.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may approve or not approve the ordinance to amend the boundary of Ward IV on first reading.
- Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward IV to include the property described as Yellowstone County road easement for Grand Avenue, a portion of County Road Petition Number 37.
- 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 is no budget/financial impact from this action.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council hold a public hearing and approve this ordinance on first reading adding recently annexed property to Ward IV.
