Notice of Public Hearing
The City is required to review its Council Districts every 10 years, after the federal Census count is done, to see if redistricting is necessary. In March, the Mayor and Council appointed a Redistricting Commission (RDC) and hired a consultant to study the data and return with recommendations to the City Council. The RDC determined that to have substantially equal districts, redistricting is necessary. Working with the consultant, the RDC drafted several proposals for new district boundaries for the Council to review. The Council discussed the proposed new district maps in September and October. Two of the proposed maps, “October Plan 1 Map” and “Map 3A” are being brought forward for consideration. The City Council introduced two ordinances on October 25 and will hold a public hearing on November 15 to take comment on each of the proposed maps.
Ordinance 22-O-09 describes “October Plan 1 Map” and Ordinance 22-O-10 describes “Map 3A.”
The Public Hearing is on Tuesday, November 15, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. during the regular Mayor and Council meeting. You may attend the meeting in person at 7401 Baltimore Avenue, 2nd Floor Council Chambers, College Park, or by Zoom.
