Agenda Item
Ordinance 2nd Reading - City Secretary:
Consider Ordinance No. 2021-O0169, approving the redistricting of the single-member City Council Districts and establishing new single-member district boundary lines for City Council Elections based on 2020 Census Data, and providing for an effective date.
Item Summary
On December 7, 2021, the City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance.
The results of the 2020 Federal Census have been received and indicate that the City of Lubbock's single member council districts are sufficiently out of population balance to require redistricting in order to comply with the "one-person, one-vote" principle established by the U.S. Constitution. On October 12, 2021, the City Council adopted redistricting criteria and guidelines. The City Council met on November 16, and November 30, in public meetings to consider proposed redistricting plans. This ordinance will adopt a new single-member council district plan.
