PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
City election ward boundaries must be adjusted to conform to city limit amendments when the City annexes property. The City Council approved the annexation of the Elysian School property (Annexation #15-08) on June 8, 2015. This annexation requires a change in the boundaries of Ward III. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance was approved and the public hearing was conducted by the City Council at its July 13 meeting.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may approve or not approve second reading of the ordinance to amend the boundaries of Ward III.
- Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward III to include the Elysian School property.
- 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 approve this ordinance on second reading, adding recently annexed property to Ward III.
