CITY DEVELOPMENT BOARD[263]

Adopted and Filed

Rulemaking related to identification and annexation of islands

The City Development Board hereby rescinds Chapter 11, "Islands—Identification and Annexation," Iowa Administrative Code.

Legal Authority for Rulemaking

This rulemaking is adopted under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 368.10.

State or Federal Law Implemented

This rulemaking implements, in whole or in part, 1991 Iowa Acts, House File 182.

Purpose and Summary

Pursuant to Executive Order 10, the Board rescinds Chapter 11. The chapter describes the process by which islands (as defined in Iowa Code section 368.1(10)) were identified by county boards of supervisors and annexed to surrounding cities by the Board pursuant to 1991 Iowa Acts, House File 182. The legislation granted the Board the authority to annex islands to surrounding cities that were identified prior to January 15, 1992, and also prevented the creation of additional islands after the effective date of the Act. Because the time period for identification and annexation of islands has passed and no additional islands can be created, the chapter is obsolete.
