At Monday’s City Council session, new district boundaries for council members were approved.  Six council seats are elected within their districts, three seats are at-large and elected by the entire city electorate.

The Gray Eagle neighborhood had been divided between two council districts and changes were made to include the entire subdivision under one council district at the urging of residents there.

Councilor Jocelyn Vare expressed concerns that another neighborhood would be divided under the new map and she could not see because, in her view, the map did not drill down into enough detail to see lines at the street level.

Council President Todd Zimmerman said, in his view, the map is good.

“We have a bipartisan council here, nobody was drawn out their…district, and we accommodated everything possible,” Zimmerman said.
