requirements haw been satisfied by each plan before it is approved.
My staff, with the guidance o£the Legislative Service Bureau, has completed ils review of thc
precinct and ward plan you have submitted for the City of Iowa City.
· The plan appears to meet all appliaable requirements, and 1 am pleased ~o convey
approval oryour plan.
Under Iowa Code section 49.7, the new precincts become effective January 15, 2002.
To the extent the new precincts and new wards differ from the old precincts and old wards,
the old precincts and old wards must be used for all elections before January 15, 2002.
