Orozco, Norma <br />From: Connie Hamilton < <br />Sent: Friday, March 09, 2018 11:14 AM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2018 special meeting <br />I cannot make it to this special meeting to present my comments, but here they are for the record: <br />For many years, I have believed that our council representatives should be elected by the members of that <br />particular ward. The arguments opposing that have been flimsy, at best. These are my concerns, <br />however. Since we seem to redraw the district lines after each census period, it doesn't seem to make sense to <br />redraw them now with only two years to go. Unless, of course, there are legal issues that are prompting <br />immediate action. I am not privy to any pending actions, but that doesn't mean they are not looming in the <br />shadows. Another concern of mine (and others) is the insinuation by some that redistricting could prompt the <br />powers -that -be to reset their term limits. This, in my opinion, would be a violation of the public's trust and <br />intentions. Hopefully, this won't be part of the proposed measure. <br />Connie Hamilton <br />
