Memorandum <br /> <br /> <br />To: Mayor and Council <br />From: Michele Lindau, City Clerk <br />Date: March 10, 2022, for Redistricting Workshop on March 14, 2022 <br />Re: Redistricting <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br />City governments must reestablish all wards and precincts after state redistricting. This <br />could be a routine process of verifying that existing ward and precinct boundaries meet <br />legal requirements and then reconfirming those boundaries. Cities may also find this to be <br />a good time to realign precincts to eliminate precincts split by school districts, adjust, <br />add, or remove precincts to accommodate population changes, or to change polling <br />places. <br /> <br />At the redistricting workshop, staff will present data on the 2020 census count. Staff will <br />propose Council reestablish existing ward boundaries and establish new precinct <br />boundaries and polling locations. <br /> <br /> <br />Key Dates <br /> March 21, 2022, Council meeting - Staff will recommend Council approve a <br />resolution establishing municipal ward and precinct boundaries. This must be <br />done by March 29, 2022. <br /> Early July, 2022 - County will send postcards to all voters informing them of their <br />ward, precinct, and polling location. <br /> August 2, 2022 to August 16, 2022 – Candidate filing period <br /> August 9, 2022 – State Primary <br /> November 8, 2022 - General Election <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Secretary of State Redistricting Guide as it pertains to cities. I have heighted <br />sections on ward and precinct requirements. <br /> Map showing proposed precinct boundaries and polling locations. <br />
