CONSIDERATION OF REDISTRICTING PLANS FOR TRUSTEE SINGLE-MEMBER
DISTRICTS
The Board met for a final review of the proposed Redistricting Plan prior to adoption at
the next Board Meeting. According to redistricting legal counsel Gene Locke, no
substantive changes have been made to the Plan since it was presented at the initial
Public Hearing on June 28, 2001. Further discussion is necessary to resolve split precinct
issues in Districts IV and IX. Mr. Locke has advised against splitting precincts and he
indicated the issue should be resolved shortly. On July 26, the Trustees will vote to
adopt a Resolution accepting the Redistricting Plan and authorizing legal counsel to
begin submission to the United States Department of Justice. No further issues were
raised and the meeting was adjourned.
