13   census tracts, as determined in the most recent
14   federal census, or designating other geographic units
15   approved by the department of economic development for
16   that purpose.  If there is an area in the city which
17   meets the requirements for eligibility for an urban or
18   rural enterprise community under Title XIII of the
19   federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993,
20   such area shall be designated by the state an economic

22   requirements for eligibility for an urban or rural
23   enterprise community shall not be included for the
24   purpose of determining the area limitation pursuant to
25   subsection 3.  In creating an enterprise zone, a city
26   with a population of twenty-four thousand or 
more, as
27   shown by the 1990 certified federal census, 
may
28   designate as part of the area tracts or approved
29   geographic units located in a contiguous city if such
30   tracts or approved geographic units meet the criteria
31   and the city agrees to being included.  The city may
32   establish more than one enterprise zone. Reference in
33   this division to "city" means a city with 
a population
34   of twenty-four thousand or more, as shown 
by the 1990

not germane.
