Redistricting Commission
Every ten (10) years following the Census a Redistricting Commission is appointed which consists of one (1) registered voter from each ward. The purpose of the Commission is to review census data to determine if inequality exists in the number of residents that reside within the three (3) municipal wards. In such a case the Commission recommends changes to the impacted ward boundaries to create an equal (as possible) number of residents per ward. The following citizens were appointed to the Commission: Tim Larson, Chair / Elzora Douglas, Secretary / Mike Salant
