<br />4 <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 3/23/92 <br />ITEM NO.: D --- / <br /> <br />Department Approval: <br /> <br />Manager Reviewed: <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br />Organizational Business <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Item Description: Voting Precinct Boundaries. <br /> <br />Backaround <br />Effective January 30, 1992, Minnesota. Statutes changed the legislative <br />districts in the state. Under the adopted plan, cities are required to <br />change voting precinct boundaries to correspond to the district changes. <br />Attached is a map outlining the new districts. Roseville is part of _ <br />Senate District 54 and two House districts, 54A and 54B. <br /> <br />In redrawing precinct boundaries, the only criteria used is that a pre- <br />cinct contain no more than one legislative district. In addition, the <br />Minnesota Secretary of State suggests that a voting precinct contain no <br />more than one school district. This suggestion results from a new law <br />which requires school districts to hold referendums in conjunction with <br />regular Fall elections. <br /> <br />In redrawing the City of Roseville precinct boundaries, close attention <br />was paid to alter current boundaries as little as possible to maintain <br />voter familiarity and to provide accessible voting polls. With the <br />following criteria in mind, two options are being offered for review. <br /> <br />Option A <br /> <br />District <br /> <br />Precipct Location <br /> <br />1 North Heights Lutheran Church <br />2 parkview Center School <br />3 Prince of Peace Church <br />4 Grace Church <br />5 Roseville Community Center <br />6 McCarrons Training Center <br />7 Roseville Lutheran Church <br />8 Fairview Community Center <br />9 Centennial United Methodist <br /> <br />54B <br />54B <br />54B <br />54B <br />54B <br />54A <br />54A <br />54A <br />54A <br /> <br />PODulation <br /> <br />3,799 <br />4,179 <br />4,122 <br />3,556 <br />1,404 <br />4,421 <br />4,619 <br />4,250 <br />3,135 <br /> <br />Over 18 <br /> <br />3,107 <br />3,260 <br />3,255 <br />2,868 <br />1,127 <br />3,568 <br />3,673 <br />3,623 <br />2,653 <br /> <br />This plan maintains nine precincts within the City, four precincts in <br />House District 54A, and the remaining five in House District 54B. Main- <br />taining nine precincts eliminates the need for any additional voting <br />equipment or voting polls. Since the City of Roseville contains two <br />school districts wi thin each House district, two precincts are <br />established to meet the condition that no precinct contain more than one <br />school district. <br />
