PUBLIC HEARING - Redistricting

Every ten years, City Council election districts must be redrawn so that each district is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each city councilmember represents about the same number of constituents. The City Council will be holding multiple hearings to receive public input on where district lines should be drawn, the next is on October 5, 2021.
