REDISTRICTING BOARD INVITES PUBLIC COMMENTS
The Clatsop County Redistricting Board invites public comment on the process of redrawing the boundaries of the county board of commissioner districts.
The nine-member board will hold a series of meeting May 5, May 9 and May 20. All meetings will begin at 4 p.m. at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St., Astoria. Public comments will be accepted at the beginning of each meeting.
The panel is charged with drawing new boundaries for the five commissioner districts to conform to new population data from the 2010 U.S. Census. The board’s plan must be presented to the county commissioners by July 30.
New districts must adhere to the following criteria established by the Oregon Legislature:
· Be contiguous
· Be of equal population
· Utilize existing geographical or political boundaries
· Not divide communities of common interest
· Be connected by transportation links
