municipality shall prescribe by Resolution the boundaries of the precincts
and the number of voters therein, and may rearrange the precincts from time
to time, and
WHEREAS, M.S.A. Section 203.06 which further provides that all changes
shall be made by resolution of the Council adopted at least 90 days before
