Redistricting Committee Meeting 09/20/2021 – Will Review Guidelines, Population Changes, And County Maps

Appleton’s redistricting committee is meeting 09/20/2021 at 3:30PM.

This is an informational meeting only with no action items. They will be reviewing…

• Redistricting Principles and Guidelines
• Population Changes
• Proposed County Supervisory District Maps

Redistricting Principles include compactness, continuity, and ideal population.

The city is facing a number of challenges…

• Time – a process that would normally have started in the summer is being condensed into 2 months
• Three Counties – Appleton sits on 3 counties and their final plans may not be completed until they receive the Supervidory district plans from all three counties.
• Island Territory/Ward Configuration – some of the city’s growth areas, particularly on the North side, will cause issues for contiguous and compact Redistricting lines
• Aldermanic District Changes – there is expected to be substantial changes is some Aldermanic Districts
• Congressional And State Legislative Redistricting – it is possible the state will not incorporate the local level plan which will require modifications to the municipal level plan after the state Congressional And Legislative lines have been drawn
