explanation

The City Commission, at its meeting of August 27, 2001, received the report of the Charter Review Committee and the City's consultants.  As a result of the 2000 census data the Committee recommended a change to Districts 2 and 3 to make the election districts ratably or equally proportional as required by law.  The City Commission authorized the City Attorney to draft and the Clerk of the Commission to advertise an ordinance amending Sec. 9-1.1 of the Code of Ordinances by moving Precinct 21 from District 2 to District 3.
