Redistricting should be done by the end of February according to County
Commissioner Bill Cox. They have been creating large maps based on
census data using Automatic Geographic
Reference Center software. Cox
said that they sent Bryce Huefner’s maps to AGRC to produce large maps the
committee can use. They have used legislative researchers who are working with
interactive maps so that boundary lines can be drawn and redrawn as possible solutions
are discussed. The committee will meet
at the end of January and will have two more meetings in February. One of the criteria the committee is looking
at is at registered voters and where the most children live although, by law,
the only criteria that can be used is census population data. Many committee members are unhappy with the
census data which shows Garden City with a larger population than other cities.
But the redistricting based on census data is a state requirement.
