Hold 5th public hearing on new voting district maps
In Plain English
The city is switching from at-large elections where all voters choose all council members to district-based elections where you only vote for your neighborhood representative. Officials have drawn draft maps dividing the city into districts. This hearing lets residents comment on the proposed boundaries before council makes a final decision.
