NS-1060 CoUncilman Yamamoto's motion, WARD BOUNDARY LINES seconded by CoUncilman Markel, REMOVED FROM TABLE to adopt Ordinance NS-1060, tabled earlier in the meeting (refer to page Z)~~ was removed from the table and discussion was had on the motion. Councilman Evans asked the City Attorney for a legal interpretation of Section 101.2 which describes the circumstances governing ward boundary changes and whether or not any ward boundary could be legally altered if it did not vary more than 10% in voter registration from any other ward, The City Attorney responded that it is a matter of interpretation; that a 10 percent variation in one ward necessitating adjustment could affect every other ward boundary, thereby changing them all; and that. in his opinion, it would be legally correct under the provisions of the Charter. Mrs. Janice Boer, 912 E. Lowell, stated that the Charter provides that the only ward boundary which shall be changed is the one wherein more than 10 percent voter registration difference is present; and that the other boundaries should not be altered because of the considerable number of voters that could then be relocated in a different ward. It was the consensus of the Council that the realignment of the ward boundaries should be accomplished with the minimum transfer of voters from their present ward to another. The motion to approve Ordinance NS-1060 carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Herrin, Markel, Patterson, Villa, Yamamoto, Griset Evans None Councilman Evans' motion, seconded by Councilman Patterson, to refer Section 101. Z of the City Charter to the City Attorney and City Manager to draft a policy recommendation for the Council's consideration which would, in the future, govern the staff in its procedure for realignment of the ward boundaries CITY COUNCIL - aI0- January 4, 1971 * This Minute entry was amended.
