DATE: August 22, 2003
SUBJECT: Annexations
It has been over a year since we revised Sec. 6.14 of the Municipal Code setting out areas annexed
by the City and assigning them to Wards and Precincts. I have identified three resolutions annexing
property that I have attached for your reference. (Res. Nos. 03-298, 03-232, 03-127) Please check
your records to see if there are any properties that I missed. Also, Joe, if you could start working
on any corrections to the Wards and Precincts that they will be in and send that information to me,
I would appreciate it. I have enclosed a copy of Chapter 6 for your reference also.
I would like to have this all wrapped up by the first of October if possible. Thanks.
