City Seeking Input on Two Redistricting Maps During Regular City Council Meeting
The City Council is considering two five-district maps – Map 504c and Map 503b – and has requested additional community input on these two maps. You can view them on our website and at www.drawhmb.org. Additionally, the City has prepared a set of FAQs, also available on our website, which contain answers to many questions we have heard throughout the redistricting process. We encourage you to read through them and share any feedback on the two maps you may have.
The City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. via Zoom (https://us06web.zoom.us/j/95535614263) to select one of these maps.
There will be an opportunity for public comment at that meeting. Additionally, or alternatively, you are welcome to provide written comments to be included in the agenda packet by emailing to jblair@hmbcity.com.
All comments received by Thursday, March 10 will be attached to the staff report for this item. Any received after that date will be forwarded to the City Council prior to the meeting.
Some voters in affected neighborhoods will soon receive a packet of information via mail explaining that their voting cycle may change if their district changes under either of the two maps under consideration. This does not apply to the vast majority of voters in the City.
