Business Items—Presentations/Discussions a. Consider Precinct Lines As the meeting was running ahead of schedule, City Manager Malinen advised that Ramsey County Elections Director Joe Mansky had not yet arrived for this portion of the meeting. However, he advised that the map in the packet, and on display, represented the legislatively-assigned districts and precinct lines, as de- tailed in the RCA dated March 19, 2012. City Manager Malinen noted the only changes were for the precincts 1 —4 in Roseville, changing the northern portion of the City and impacting District 66A and 42B; with now two (2) representatives and two (2) senators for Roseville. Councilmember Pust noted that this was similar to past redistricting. City Manager Malinen noted that Ramsey County was suggesting the City's ap- proval of these precinct boundaries at a subsequent meeting; and briefly reviewed the criteria in adhering to existing precinct boundaries; divisions around physical features; and corresponding with various districts. Mr. Malinen noted that the City would continue to have ten (10)precincts; with the areas to the south remain- ing the same; and changes to Districts 1-4 in the northern part of the City: the old Districts 3 and 4 combined into a new District 4; the old District 2 divided into a new District 2 and District 3 due to legislative boundaries and School District boundaries; and increasing District 1 on the east side to follow legislative bounda- ries, and District#2 on the Mounds View School District on the east side. Councilmember Pust noted that the line between Districts 1 and 2 is Snelling Av- enue, a new line for the City of Roseville, with Districts 2, 3 and 4 now part of Legislative District 42, which used to be Districts 3 and 4 in other parts of Legis- lative District 54B on the other side, but now an entirely new senate district (#2, 3
