City election ward boundaries must be adjusted to conform to city limit amendments resulting from annexation or exclusion of property from the City. The City Council approved the exclusion of property described as portions of Terrace Estates Subdivision, 3rd Filing, being Lots 1-25, within Block 1, Lots 1-27, within Block 2 and Lots 1-6, 41A, 41B, 42A, 42B, 43-53, 60, 72-76, within Block 3; Including all dedicated Right-Of-Way of Jack And Jill Avenue, Sage Drive, Woodland Trail, Valley Heights Road, Dewdrop Circle, Sun Valley Road and Alkali Creek Road within said Terrace Estates Subdivision, 3rd Filing, Blocks 1-3 (Deannexation #17-04) on October 10, 2017 by Resolution #17-10674.   This requires a change in the boundaries of Ward II. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance is scheduled for November 13, 2017 along with a public hearing, and the second reading is scheduled for November 27, 2017.


 

City Council may approve or not approve the ordinance to amend the boundary of Ward II on first reading.

• Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward II to exclude the property in Terrace Estates Subdivision, 3rd Filing.
• Denying the ordinance will not modify the boundaries of Ward II and create a problem where property outside the city limits is within one of the City Ward Boundaries. 

There is no budget/financial impact from this action.

Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and approve this ordinance on first reading removing recently excluded property from Ward II.
