Redistricting
City Cleric Engdahl gave a presentation on the new congressional and legislative lines that the
legislature released on February 21 and how those lines affect the current ward and precinct lines
as the City goes through the redistricting process to reapportion the population based on the 2010
Census. She indicated that staff prepared two alternate options for the Council's consideration.
Both options are identical with the exception of removing an area on the west side of I-494
between Schmidt Lake Road, Fernbrook Lane, and Rockford Roach, from Ward 1 and allocating
that area to Ward 4 (Alternate 1 Option). This option allows for the fiiture anticipated growth of
2,000-3,000 residents in Ward 1 in the next 10 years, while Alternate 2 Option gets the
population as close as practicable in each of the four wards.
The Council discussed the plans, and the majority requested that approval of Alternate 1 Option
be placed on the March 13 Council agenda.

The Council requested that the Planning Commission be invited to the development tour on May
1 at 5:00 p.m.
