SPECIAL MEETING REDISTRICTING COMMISSIONERS <br />At 1:30 p.m. Chairman Wachsmith opened a Special Meeting to discuss <br />the redistricting process. <br /> <br />Jerry Pettit, Auditor, explained how the County needed to have a <br />plan developed for redistricting by the end of December. He said it <br />doesn’t have to be officially approved by that time, but a plan must <br />be developed. He explained how he would be working with Sue <br />Higginbotham to review the precincts and Commissioner District <br />boundary lines. They will then present that information to a <br />Redistricting Advisory Committee as well as identify the laws, <br />WAC’s, etc. for their consideration. Once the committee has reviewed <br />and formed their recommendations, they will present that information <br />to the Commissioners. He said at this time, it looks like District <br />#2 has had the most growth in population; District #1 is close to <br />being the same; and District #3 is less than average. Jason Eklund, <br />GIS Coordinator, said he would be willing to provide any maps <br />needed. <br /> RESOLUTION 2021-169 REDISTRICTING ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMISSIONERS <br />Vice-Chairman Osiadacz moved to approve Resolution No. 2021-169, <br />Forming a Commissioner Redistricting Advisory Committee. <br />Commissioner Wright seconded.
