The Honorable Ted Tedesco Mayor, ✓ ,
And Members of the City Council
Of The City of Ames, Iowa
Re: Voting Precincts for Annexed Territory
Dear Mayor Tedesco and Council Members:
Section 49.8, Code of Iowa,provides that the voting precincts established by ordinance in response
to a decennial census are not to be changed until after the next decennial census. However, one
exception, at Subsection 49.8(2), The Code, is that:
"When territory is annexed to a city the city council may attach all or any part of the
annexed territory to any established precinct or precincts which are contiguous to the
annexed territory,however,this subsection shall not prohibit establishment of one or
more new precincts in the annexed territory."
This is what the proposed ordinance does:
Ward One, Precinct 3 is amended to reflect the annexation of the children's
convalescent facility site, (Res.No. 99-284, dated July 27, 1999)and some unplatted
ground east of Isaac Walton and north of Eastgate. (Res. No. 99-396, dated October
26, 1999) No one resides in those annexed areas.
Ward Two, Precinct 4 and 5 boundaries are changed to reflect the annexation of
"Uthe Farm"and"Taylor Farm"properties. (Res.No. 00-116,dated March 28,2000)
The only current occupants reside in an older eight-unit apartment building. The
annexed areas were added to Ward Two,Precinct 4 because it has a lower population
than Ward Two, Precinct 5. No one resides in those annexed areas as yet.
f
Ward Three,Precinct 1 is changed to reflect annexation of Christofferson Park(Res.
No. 00-317, dated June 27, 2000) and the"Ferguson Subdivision"area(Res.No. 00-
389, dated August 8, 2000) and the Lot on State Street. (Res. No. 00-388, dated
August 8, 2000) No one resides in the Christofferson Park area.
Ward Three, Precinct 4 is changed to reflect the annexation of the Terra Firma
property in the Dotson Drive area, (Res. No. 01-142, dated April 24, 2001) and
annexation of the Hunziker property on the north side of Lincoln Way across from
Bentwood Subdivision. (Res.No. 00-292,dated June 27,2000) No one resides in this
annexed area as yet.
Each annexation since the last decennial census is assigned to a voting precinct by Section 6.14.
Yours truly,
John R. Klaus
City Attorney
