REALIGNMENT The City Clerk reviewed her report dated February 7, 2008 recommending OF PRECINCT realignment of precinct boundaries shifting approximately 400 voters BOUNDARIES from Precinct 3 (City Center) to Precinct 1 (Roseville Area Middle School). The Clerk noted that Precinct 1 is a larger facility and better able to accommodate a larger number of voters. The Clerk felt that the realignment was important to do in preparation for the 2008 elections given the extremely large voter turnout that is predicted for this election. The City Clerk noted that upon completion of the 2010 Census, future precinct changes may be needed should there be legislative district changes that result from the Census. Additionally, at that time there may be the need to add a fourth voting precinct for Little Canada. The Clerk also pointed out that she is also recommending that northwestern boundary of Precinct 3 be adjusted to coincide with the border of School Districts 623 and 621. This change impacts no voters as the area is commercial and industrial. The Clerk noted that should the Council approve the realignment recommended, voters will receive notification from the County of the change. This change will also be communicated via the City newsletter and on its Web site.
