• Memo
City Manager's Office
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bob Kindred, Asst. City Manager f-r-
DATE: April 5, 2007
SUBJECT: Revised Ordinance naming University Boulevard
This agenda includes a revised ordinance naming University Boulevard with an effective date of
September 17, 2007. This replaces the previous ordinance which had been passed on two
readings but which did not include an effective date.
Having dealt with the concerns raised by Mr. David Holm when the earlier ordinance was
presented for first reading, staff is unaware of any other concerns that should inhibit expeditious
passage of this ordinance. Adopting the change now will give five months formal notice to
businesses that are directly affected by the street name change, as well as to the U.S. Postal
Service. This notice should assist those affected in having adequate time to print new stationery
and brochures and to make the transition for mail delivery.
In light of the fact that the ordinance without the effective date has already been passed on two
readings, Iowa State University has requested that you waive the rules and pass the attached
ordinance on April 10 on all three readings.
