TO:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM:
Rachel Krasney, City clerk, on behalf of
Redistricting Task Force
DATE:

RE:
PUBLIC HEARING ON PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED MAP SHOWING
CHANGES IN COUNCIL WARD BOUNDARIES AS A RESULT OF 1990
CENSUS AND REQUEST THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVE PROPOSED
CHANGES AND DIRECT THE CITY ATTORNEY TO PREPARE
ORDINANCE AMENDING EXISTING COUNCIL WARD BOUNDARIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the direction given at the February 3, 1992 meeting
of the Mayor and Council, two meetings have been held with
representatives of the Wests ide Action Group and staff also met
on Monday, February 10. As a result of those meetings, we submit
the attached Exhibit "A" entitled "Proposed Ward Districts" (2-
17-92). The most significant change to the map presented at the
February 3 meeting is that the southern boundary of the 6th Ward
has been squared off so that most of the bench area is proposed
to be in the Sixth Ward. As a result, boundary changes were also
made in the 1st and 3rd Wards. All boundaries proposed to be
changed are clearly circled on Exhibit "A". Exhibit "B" entitled
"Original Ward Districts" provides you with the ward boundaries
as they current Iv exist and also clearly identifies the areas
proposed to be changed.
Exhibit "C" provides ethnic breakdown by ward as presented in the
map identified as Exhibit "A" of this report.
If you approve Exhibit "A", we request that you adopt form
motions one and two listed on the Request for Council Action.
Rachel Krasney
City Clerk
