Subject: 1/9/2018 City council agenda item # Item 17 Tan
Hi Susan, I am unfortunately not able to attend tomorrow night's city council meeting, therefore I would like to
submit my comment via email regarding item #17; transition from at-large to by-district elections. I would like to
request that my email and work contact information is blacked out if my email is to be published in the exhibits.
Thank you.
Dear council, I have concerns regarding the proposed "Tan" district boundaries. I feel that equal distribution of
education and income is going to be vital in order to maintain a fair voting pool. In the "Tan" maps, the higher
levels of income and education are disproportionate to favor districts 2 and 3. These maps were based on the
2010 census and they are not accounting for the increased population of the new homes constructed in
Canyon Hills and Alberhill Ranch developments. Choosing the "Tan" option will create the possibility for two
"monster' districts that will have the power to trump smaller districts where the voter turnout is not as strong
due to socioeconomic, education and language barriers. They will also have greater resources available to
them due to the property taxes. There is still lots of room for expansion in districts 2 and 3, whereas the other
districts are confined and have limited growth potential.
This current council has the great responsibility of determining the district boundaries which will greatly impact
the future of our city. I am confident that the council will research ALL possible scenarios and consider not only
the 2010 census results but the future population as well. Thank you
