**Every 10 years jurisdictions with City Council districts evaluate whether a change to their district boundaries (redistricting) is needed based on the most recent U.S. Census population data. At a public meeting held on September 27, 2021, the City’s consultants presented data showing that redistricting is warranted. The City follows 5 steps in reviewing and implementing redistricting; currently, the City is on stage 3, defining and developing a new plan. Residents are invited and encouraged to participate in the following public meetings.
