#2 Presentation on proposed supervisory districts CLERK-TREASURER MEMORANDUM April 19, 2011 TO: City Council FROM: Jean Ann Wulf, City Clerk-Treasurer SUBJECT: Presentation on Proposed Supervisory Districts Based on the 2010 U.S. Census Background Rock County established an Ad Hoc Redistricting Committee to review the County’s population numbers and create 29 County Supervisory Districts. The committee is comprised of several County Board Supervisors and citizens at large. The Redistricting Technical Committee (non-voting) provides support to the Ad Hoc Redistricting Committee and is comprised of various municipal clerks. Process County (First 60 days) The County received the results of the U.S. Census in March 2011 and called the first Ad Hoc Redistricting Committee meeting on March 28, 2011. At this meeting, the committee established the schedule for redistricting and the criteria to be used in creating County Supervisory Districts. The following is the criteria that will be followed: Supervisory District Population 5,529 +/– 3% Municipal Ward Size Restrictions Contiguous and Compact Districts City / County Representation Whole Municipalities Where Possible Polling Place Considerations Preservation of Communities of Interest School District Considerations Preservation of Minority Population Keep Incumbents in their Districts Preservation of Core Districts Future Development Areas Based on the above criteria, the committee met three times to review and refine the Preliminary Supervisory District map. The proposed map will receive its public hearing on April 28, 2011 and is scheduled for adoption on May 12, 2011. City (Second 60 days) The City will receive the Preliminary Supervisory District map the week of May 16, 2011. We will then have 60 days to create Municipal Wards within the Supervisory Districts. We are able to propose minor changes to the Supervisory Districts if there is a conflict in creating wards. Typically, the City has two wards per Supervisory District with population ranging from 2,500-2,900. The Council will be asked to adopt an ordinance which creates the new wards and establishs polling places. County (Third 60 days) The County receives the adopted ward plan and maps from the municipalities. The County Board will then adopt the final Supervisory District plan which incorporates the preliminary map as adopted and any changes made by the municipalities.
