Council to hear consultant’s redistricting plan on Sept 27

MADISON – Members of Madison City Council will convene on Sept. 27 to hear a redistricting presentation by Slaughter & Associates.

During this session from 4 to 4:45 p.m., council members will receive proposed details for redistricting from the consultants, Slaughter & Associates, that the city hired for the study.

This meeting is open to the public. All interested individuals are welcome to attend.

In January, council members were discussing the arrival of U.S. Census 2020 data for its use with population trends for possible redistricting of the seven council districts in the City of Madison.

The special meeting about redistricting will precede City Council’s regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m.

In related work, Madison County Commission is studying the most recent census figures to adjust district lines. Portions of Madison County, particularly the western section, have grown drastically since the last assignment of boundary lines by the commission.
