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 Doolen Family Trust,  Robert and Karen Doolen Trustees, at its Council meeting on April 27, 2020. The subject property is Lot 32A, Block 1, of Amended Plat of Lot 32, Block 1, Yellowstone Meadows – Phase Two, totaling approximately 1.769 gross acres and .958 net acres more or less.

This annexation requires a change in the boundaries of Ward IV. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading of the ordinance and public hearing was held on April 27, 2020. This is the second and final reading.

 

City Council may:

• Approve the ordinance modifying the boundary of Ward IV, or;
• Not approve the ordinance. Disapproval will not modify the boundary of Ward IV and will create a problem where property inside the City Limits is not within a City Ward.

There is no budget/financial impact from this action.

Staff recommends the City Council pass the ordinance on second reading.
