Reported that the Finance, Administration & Economic Development Committee discussed ward redistricting and directed staff to:
1. Retain current policy to maintain Council Members in their existing wards, with the exception that because a sixth ward is being created, Council Member Kandt’s Council position could be moved into the sixth ward;
2. While past policy has been to use Antioch Road as the north/south boundary between Wards Four and Five, the direction was that options should be prepared where the north/south boundary was not necessarily Antioch, which would permit other configurations for review in establishment of a sixth ward;
3. To whatever extent possible, the priority should be compactness of wards rather than avoidance of precinct moves from one ward to another;
4. Contact the Johnson County Election Commissioner to obtain information regarding precinct changes under consideration for November.
