OFFICE OF THE IOWA SECRETARY OF STATE
LUCAS BUILDING, I ST FLOOR
DES MOINES, IowA 50319
The city of Iowa City's reprecincting plan materials have been received by the Iowa Secretary of State's Office
After review, this Office has found issues with the plan which obligates me to return it to you for technical
corrections.
Joint City/ County Agreement
o The portion of the agreement related to the annexed areas will need to be reworked. Precinct
boundaries are required to follow census block boundaries so the Secretary of State's office can
verify the population boundaries in these areas. Specific comments related to each annexed area
can be found below.
Precinct Ordinance
o Precinct 5: In the first segment of the description, it should be adjusted as follows: "beginning at the
intersection of Kimball Park Road and Dubuque St."
o Precinct 6:
■ In the fourth segment of the description, it should be adjusted as follows: "north on 3`d
Avenue to 4:5 -1 Street"
■ In the fifth segment of the description, it should be adjusted as follows: "west one I Street
to 5th Avenue"
■ In the eighth segment of the description, it should be adjusted as follows: "east on F Street
to 4th Avenue; north on 4th Avenue to Muscatine Avenue"
o Precinct 9:
■ In the fifth segment of the description, it should be adjusted as follows: "east on Benton
Street to Keg Teg_Drive"
■ Modify the seventh thorough ninth segments as follows: "south on Sunset Street to the
south Fight centerline of the southbound lane of Highway 1; west along the south
fight -ewe centerline of the southbound lane of Highway 1 to the east Fight-OPASY-Of
Highway 218 at Highway-4--, crossing Highway 218 and continuing southwesterly along the
south centerline of the southbound lane of Highway 1 to Naples Avenue;
southeast to the Iowa City corporate limits: southwest along the corporate limits to where the
Iowa City corporate limits shifts north at Kitty Lee Road."
o Precinct 10:
Phone 515 - 281 -0145 Fax 515 - 281 -4682 www.sos.state.ia.us precinctplan@,sos.state.ia.us
The annexed territory on the west side of Old Highway 218 S appears to be located in two
census blocks (1 91 0301 04004047 and 191030104004034). These census blocks are in a
different house district than the rest of Precinct 10. 1 find the total population of these two
census blocks to be 184, which makes it unlikely that there are fewer than 50 registered
voters living in those blocks. I recommend entering an agreement with Johnson County to
include both of these census blocks, in their entirety, in a Johnson County precinct with the
portion of West Lucas township surrounding the annexed territory.
The description for the southeast corner of Precinct 10 follows the East Lucas Township
boundary. Census block 191030018012031 is not included in the precinct description or
shown on the precinct map. The description as currently written purports to split this block in
half. This block needs to be added to the description and the map for either Precinct 10 or
Precinct 12 and the description for both precincts must be updated accordingly.
o Precinct 12:
■ The annexed territory on the east edge of Precinct 12 off of 420tH St. SE appears to be
located in census block 191030105001112. This census block is in a different house district
than the rest of Precinct 12. 1 find the total population of this census block to be 0, which
makes it likely that there are fewer than 50 registered voters living there. Following
verification from the Johnson County Auditor that there are fewer than 50 registered voters
living there, I recommend entering an agreement with Johnson County to include the
entirety of both of these two census blocks in Precinct 12.
■ The description for the southwest corner of Precinct 12 follows the East Lucas Township
boundary. Census block 191030018012031 is not included in the precinct description or
shown on the precinct map. The description as currently written purports to split this block in
half. This block needs to be added to the description and the map for either Precinct 10 or
Precinct 12 and the description for both precincts must be updated accordingly.
o Precinct 13:
• In the sixth segment, it should be adjusted as follows: "southwesterly along the Crandic
Railroad to
its intersection with"
• In the eighth segment, it should be adjusted as follows: "north along the east Fi ht- ef-way
4F+e centerline of southbound lane of Highway 1 to its intersection with Sunset Street
ended."
• The annexed territory on the north side of Mormon Trek Blvd. is located in census block
191030104004015. This census block is in a different house district than the rest of
Precinct 13. 1 find the total population of this census block to be 4, which makes it likely that
there are fewer than 50 registered voters living there. Following verification from the
Johnson County Auditor that there are fewer than 50 registered voters living there, I
recommend entering an agreement with Johnson County to include the entirety of this
census block in Precinct 13.
o Precinct 18:
• In the 14tH and 15tH segments, it should be adjusted as follows: "north on 3rd Avenue to 4�t I
St.; west on 454 1 St. to 5`n Avenue"
• In the second -to -last segment, it should be adjusted as follows: "east on F Street to 4tH
Avenue: north on 4tH Avenue to Muscatine Avenue"
o Precinct 23: The annexed territory on the north side of Precinct 23 appears to contain territory in
several census blocks (191030001001007, 191030101004030, 191030001001045,
191030001001004 and 191030001001000). These census blocks are in a different house district
than the rest of Precinct 23. 1 find the total population of these census blocks to be 193, which
makes it unlikely that there are fewer than 50 registered voters living in these blocks. I recommend
entering an agreement with Johnson County to include the entirety of these census blocks in a
Johnson County precinct with the portion of Newport township surrounding the annexed territory.

• Map:
o As detailed above, the map does not account for census block 191030018012031 on the southern
border of East Lucas Township between Precincts 10 and 12. This census block must be
accounted for and added to the map and the precinct descriptions.
Please resubmit the plan with a corrected ordinance, corrected and signed joint agreement and a corrected
map as soon as possible. The deadline for submitting city reprecincting plans is September 1, 2011. Please
