Presentation:
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 located south of Elysian Road and just west of the existing Josephine Crossing Subdivision (Annexation #14-04) on August 25, 2014. This requires a change in the boundaries of Ward III. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance is scheduled for September 8, 2014, along with a public hearing, and the second reading is scheduled for September 22, 2014.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may approve or not approve the ordinance to amend the boundaries of Ward III on first reading.
- Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward III to include the property located south of Elysian Road and just west of the existing Josephine Crossing Subdivision.
- Denying 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.
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 III.
