If they do not complete the <br />task, the State Judiciary will draw the legislative lines, and the City will work off those plans <br />to redraw precinct lines. <br />The City must complete and the City Council approve the new precinct lines by Apri130. In <br />redrawing the lines, the City will work with the following assumptions: <br />. Ten precincts with approximately 2,300 registered voters in each precinct. <br />. Try to closely adhere to existing precinct lines, where possible. <br />. Follow mandated divisions (census block, along recognizable physical <br />features, highways, rivers, railroads). <br />. Lines correspond with legislative and congressional districts. <br />. Select polling places that meet ADA standards, have adequate parking, and <br />that are centrally located to precinct. <br />I anticipate bringing the proposed precinct plans to the April 8 City Council meeting. <br />For your information, a list of responsibilities and timeline is attached. <br />\CarolynC�redistricting\03-04 memo to council.doc <br />• Page 1 <br />
