If needed, we might think about meeting earlier in April or even March to meet any deadlines.

Therefore, the meeting will be canceled. If we follow our quarterly meeting schedule, our next regularly scheduled meeting would be Thursday, April 18 Following our last meeting in December, staff forwarded to the City Council the two redistricting options the Charter Commission recommended. Based on #heir feedback, it appears as if Option B (formerly Option 1 } was the most desirable redistricting plan. This plan retains a similar layout to the current ward boundaries. According to the tentative state redistricting timeline, the state should be done with their redistricting work by March 19. Following that, cities have either 60 days or at least 19 weeks before the state primary to have their redistricting done. Therefore, we're looking at a date of April 30 to be done, contingent upon the state completing their work. At this time, staff will be beginning the work on describing the ward boundaries in word farm. As the redistricting process continues, we will keep you posted as far as whether we will need to meet before April. If you have any questions, please feel free to a-mail or call me.
