Last night, the City Council held the fourth official public hearing on the transition to voting districts. This meeting also marks the 9th time the City has discussed the districting transition – the public has stepped up and provided input at every touch point, and staff is so grateful for their participation!

The Council officially selected Map 412 (pictured above) and decided on the following sequencing for districts to come on board: (2028 Election) Mayor (2-year term) + District 3; (2030 Election) Mayor (2-year term) + Districts 1, 2 , and 4.
