Mr. Ray stated the City Charter requires that the Council "review the wards and their boundaries" at intervals of not more than five years. The Charter also requires that, "if necessary", the boundaries be amended to "maintain...substantial equality in population among the wards". The existing ward boundaries have not been reviewed since 1984 when they were established by Ordinance No. 336. The boundaries must be "reviewed" prior to the election that will be conducted early next year. This Resolution is a requirement of law and is for the purpose of notifying citizens of a proposed change in the boundaries of the existing wards. After a review of the population estimates by wards, the staff is of the opinion that an unequal distribution of citizens exists and that some action should be taken to provide a more equal population distribution. This Resolution will initiate the process by allowing publication of the proposed change within the 30 day requirement. A motion was made by S. Lamb, seconded by V. Stockler, to approve Resolution No. 89-12 as requested. 4 OWASSO CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 3, 1989 AYE: Lamb, Stockler, Phillips, Thompson, Mariar NAY: None MOTION: Carried 5-0 ITEM 10: REQUEST FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL OF CITY PARTICIPATION IN A JOINT CITY-COUNTY SURPLUS EQUIPMENT SALE TO BE CONDUCTED BY THE TULSA COUNTY COMMISSION.
