Background:
Following each Census, and as may be needed in between, the County Commission must update its districts such that they have equal population. As Census 2020 was completed last year, the Commission should review its existing districts and redraw them as may be needed to ensure an equal population between them. This agenda item will cover Constitutional and Statutory requirements, the current Commission districts, a list of policies to follow when updating district boundaries and a proposed tentative timeline for workshops and meetings.
