Reprecincting & Redistricting Worksheet
Each city with two or more precincts must file a description of the city precincts and wards or
council districts, if any, even if no changes have been made. Please complete this Worksheet and
submit it with your plan. The worksheet explains the legal requirements for reprecincting for all
cities and for redistricting in cities with wards or council election districts. [49.71
City of AMES
1. Population of city according to the 2000 federal decennial census: 50,731
2. Number of precincts: 20
3. Date and time of public hearing. If you made changes in the
boundaries of any precincts, when was the public hearing held to
discuss these changes? 8/14/01 @ 7PM
Please note.- If no changes were made to the precinct boundaries, no
hearing is necessary. Write Ano changed on the line above. Notice of the
healing is required under Iowa Open Meetings Law. �49.5J
Part A -- For all Cities -- Drawing Precinct Boundaries.

1. Maximum population = 3,500. Add together the population data
for census blocks or other geographic units in each precinct. [49.3(1)]
2. Within one legislative district. Each precinct must be contained
in a single legislative district unless this would force creation of a
precinct containing the residences of fewer than 50 registered
voters. [49.3(2)]
3. Contiguous territory. All precincts shall be composed of
contiguous territory. [49.3(3)]
4. All in one county. Precinct boundaries may not cross county

6. Convenience of the voters. If the city council decides that establishment
of more than one precinct is necessary or advisable it shall divide the
city into the number of election precincts as will best serve the
convenience of the voters. "The convenience of the voters"refers to, but
is not necessarily limited to, precinct boundaries which can be readily
described to and identified by voters and for which there is ease of
access by voters to their respective precinct polling places by reasonably
direct routes of travel. [49.5]
7. Review by the county commissioner of elections (county auditor).
Before final adoption of any change in election precinct boundaries, the
council shall permit the commissioner not less than seven and not more
than ten days time to offer comments on the proposed reprecincting.
[49.5] Date sent to commissioner: 7 /25 /2001
Date comments received by city: 8kfi__/2001
8. Joint City 8s County precincts. To establish a precinct composed of both
incorporated and unincorporated territory, the city and the county must
adopt a mutually satisfactory agreement. Copies of these agreements
must be filed with this worksheet. [49.6]
9. Work with the County. Plan III supervisor district boundaries must
conform to precinct boundaries in counties that elect members of the
Board of Supervisors under Plan Three (single-member, equal
population districts with residence requirements in which the voters in
each district elect one member who must reside in the district). City
Councils and the Temporary County Redistricting Commissions in Plan
Three counties will need to work together in establishing both supervisor
district and precinct boundaries.
[49.4(2),49.6]
10. Maps. Use maps that show census block boundaries to file your plan.
11. No wards? If your city elects council members at large without
residence requirements, go to Part C on page 3.
