Staff recommends the City Council hold a public hearing and approve this ordinance on first reading, adding recently annexed property to Ward IV.

KLJ Engineering behalf of Ned and Van Zimmerman submitted a petition to annex land using the provisions of Section 7-2-4600, MCA. The property is located North of Rimrock Road and East of 54th Street West. The land being annexed is described as being Parcels of Land situated in the SW 1/4 of Section 29, and the NW 1/4 of Section 32, T.1N., R.25E., Yellowstone County, Montana, more particularly described as follows: Tract 2B of Amended Tract 2 of Certificate of Survey No. 1834, recorded November 25th, 1997, under Document No. 1900549 on file and of record in the office of the Yellowstone County Clerk and Recorder. Including adjacent Right-Of-Way of Rimrock Road. Said annexation containing 32.928 gross acres and 30.608 net acres, more or less.

Upon Council approval, this annexation requires a change in the boundaries of Ward IV. Two readings are required for this action. The first reading and public hearing will be heard at this meeting on May 22, 2023. Upon approval the second reading will occur on June 12, 2023.

City Council may:

• Approve adding the subject property to Ward IV, or;
• Disapprove adding the subject property to Ward IV. 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.

This application has no impact on the Planning Division Budget.
