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 Tule Ridge Development (Annexation #16-04) on August 8, 2016. The subject property is 11 acres in size and described as Lot 8, Sunny Cove Fruit Farms. The property is located at the southeast corner of Rimrock Road and 62nd Street West. This requires a change in the boundaries of Ward IV. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance was conducted by the City Council on August 22, 2016, along with a public hearing, and the second reading is scheduled for this meeting.

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

• Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward IV to include the property owned by Tule Ridge Development.
• Not approving 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.

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 IV.
