Yankton City Commission adopts adjusted FHWA urban boundary map and authorizes mayor to sign
Summary
The commission approved memorandum 204271 authorizing the mayor to sign the Federal Highway Administration adjusted urban boundary map, a planning document; staff said the change was prompted by county/DOT input and that no local street/highway funding impacts were expected.
The Yankton City Commission voted Dec. 19 to adopt an adjusted Federal Highway Administration urban boundary map and authorized the mayor to sign the document, accepting staff’s recommendation under memorandum 204271.
Dave, a city staff member, told the commission the FHWA requires states to coordinate with local jurisdictions every 10 years to establish an urban boundary map that indicates potential growth areas rather than corporate limits. He said the adjusted map before the commission reflects input from the state Department of Transportation and the county, and that, to staff’s knowledge, the map would not affect funding for local streets or highways.
"Every 10 years, the Federal Highway Administration requires states to coordinate with local governmental jurisdictions to establish the urban boundary map," Dave said, adding that the map serves a planning purpose and that staff recommended authorizing the mayor to sign the adjusted map before year-end.
A motion to authorize the mayor to sign the FHWA adjusted urban boundary map was made, seconded and approved on roll-call. Recorded 'Aye' votes in the transcript were Brunick, Hunoff, Mosher, Villanueva, Weber, Benson and Mayor Schromm. The transcript does not show any recorded 'No' votes or abstentions.
The commission also noted the city is completing a comprehensive plan that will further refine growth and boundary guidance; the FHWA map was presented as an interim planning document and not as a change to the city's corporate limits.
