The Honorable Ted Tedesco, Mayor CIiY CLaRK
and Members of the City Council CITY CE AMES,IOWA
of The City of Ames, Iowa
Re: Ordinance to Attach Annexed Territory to Established Wards and Precincts
Dear Mayor Tedesco and Council Members:
Section 49.8(2)of the Code of Iowa states that when territory is annexed,the City Council may attach
all or any part of the annexed territory to any established precinct. This proposed ordinance makes
those attachments for territory annexed between September 23,2003 and June 22,2004. All territory
annexed before that period has been attached to precincts by enacted descriptions of the various
precinct boundaries. As time permits, staff will prepare and bring to Council an ordinance to revise
descriptions of the wards and precincts stated in Chapter 6 of the Ames Municipal Code that will
encompass the precinct attachments made by this ordinance.
It is requested that the Council waive the three passages rule to enact this ordinance before the
September School Board election.
Yours truly,
'�
John R. Klaus
City Attorney
