BOCC AGENDA ITEM


Item Title:Discussion of Census Bureau Required Redistricting
Date:11/3/2021
Department:County Manager
Background:

Every ten years, local governments use new census data to redraw electoral district boundaries to ensure equitable representation of all residents in response to changes in the local population.

 

 Government Services Group, Inc. (GSG) is a professional services consultant secured to execute the electoral redistricting effort and ensure unbiased and equitable electoral districts are created.  Redrawing district boundaries will also affect the Nassau County School District and in consultation with Superintendent, Dr. Kathy Burns, it was determined there is a need for a  joint workshop where County staff and GSG will present an overview of the redistricting process and allow for discussion of both boards.

Request:
Discuss Census Bureau Required Decennial Redistricting.
Financial/Economic Impact to Future Years Budgeting Process or Effect on Citizens:
While there is no financial impact to the citizens of Nassau County, redistricting will continue to provide equitable representation for all residents.
