2022-2023 City Council Redistricting

The City is in the process of redrawing and adopting new City Council district boundaries using the information from the 2020 US Census. There will be multiple opportunities to comment and be updated on the process.

The redrawn districts will aim to:

• Maintain relatively equal population numbers
• Be composed of whole county voting precincts
• Have easily identifiable geographic boundaries
• Maintain communities of interest/neighborhoods
• Be compact and contiguous
• Avoid packing or cracking
  • Packing – diminishing voting power by calculated demographic concentration
  • Cracking - diminishing voting power by calculated demographic dilution
• Preserve incumbent-constituency relations

Public Engagement

Phase 1 COMPLETE: Town Hall meetings were held in April and May in each district to obtain public input on how the districts should be reconfigured. The City asked for public feedback before drawing the new maps; no new maps were presented at the town hall meetings. Residents may also submit their own redistricting plan to the Planning & Development Department by July 20.
Phase 2: District boundaries are redrawn based on 2020 Census data, the redistricting criteria approved by City Council, and public input.
Phase 3: Draft Redistricting Plan is completed and presented to City Council.
Phase 4: COMPLETE Public may comment on the proposed new maps at three public hearings in July.

Town Hall Meetings

Each City Council district hosted a Town Hall meeting to explain the redistricting process, and to allow members of the public to give input to the City on how they want their district to look in the future. These meetings were conducted in person.

Overall Timeline

The process began in March 2022 and will be complete when the newly-elected City Council takes office on January 2, 2024.
