The purpose of redistricting is to ensure the residents of each <br />commissioner district are equally represented. <br />The board considered several options for new commissioner districts and held a workshop <br />April 19 to review and consider public comments. After discussion at the special meeting about <br />the merits of the maps, the board ultimately approved option C, which in addition to defining new <br />boundaries also renumbers some districts. <br />All commissioners are up for reelection in 2022 — three commissioner districts have <br />expiring terms and the remaining four are required to run because the total population shift for the <br />district was greater than five percent of the average district size. <br />To comply with staggered term requirements, districts 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be 4-year terms. <br />Districts 5, 6 and 7 will be 2-year terms. <br />The early candidate filing period (for offices with a possible primary election) will take <br />place May 17 to May 31, 2022. Candidates will file for office at that time based on the newly <br />established district lines. <br />-more- <br />Raps p 000000 v,„0 , 010 010 ovat0v000000, ts 000,00 a 0 0.000,00 Raps po no 0 b 000000 <br />C000 c0vern rale 000 t C1E00 te r A. 2.1 0 0 3 '11 Ave 1„„le , ,00031„,1 te 7 0 0 A.
