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 city owned property (Annexation #18-05) on June 25, 2018. The subject property is known as Phipps Park and is described as tracts of land situated in the SW1/4 of Section 24, Section 25 and the NE1/4 of Section 26, T.1N., R.24E. The property is located west and south of Molt Rd. This annexation 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 August 13 along with a public hearing, and the second reading is scheduled for August 27.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may approve or not approve the ordinance to amend the boundaries of Ward IV on first reading.
- Approving the ordinance will modify the boundaries of Ward IV to include the property known as Phipps Park.
- 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.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no budget/financial impact from this action.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and approve this ordinance on first reading, adding recently annexed property to Ward IV.
