Suggestions' f Redistricting
Committee
The task of redistricting should be considered in two segments. First, changes should be made to
meet the immediate requirements of the Charter; secondly, we should consider future changes in our
Charter and/or changes in the sizes of precincts to make it possible to relocate precincts within the
framework of our four districts.
Concerning the first requirement, it is recommended that Precinct 16J be transferred from District 1 to
District 2. At the same time, Precinct 8J should be transferred from District 2 to District 1.
ese transfers would increase District 1 by an additional 599 registered voters and the new district
rcentages would be as follows:
District 1 23.75% (+1.63%)
District 2 23.80% (- 1.63%)
District 3 27.09% (No change)
'S r' 4 % (No change)
Total 100.00%
As the maximum allowable by the Charter is 27.5%, it is obvious that with the present increased
residential development in District 3, it will very shortly exceed the Charter's allowable maximum.
It is the further recommendation of the Redistricting Committee to reconvene a Workshop to consider
the future options available to the City because it will be exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to
redistrict after the next municipal election under the existing conditions.
