As requested, staff has prepared a base map with a refined population breakdown for many geographic areas. The existing ward boundaries and five alternative ward adjustment schemes are superimposed upon the base map. I met with Karen Cotton of the Franklin County Board of Election, who provided the following insights: 1- Delaware County Board of Elections requested that the Dublin portion of Delaware County stay one ward. 2. Use streets and natural features where possible. 3. Keep precincts intact if at all possible. Staff then prepared five alternative ward adjustments. As you can see, there is not a lot of variation between alternatives. A further breakdown of the population areas on the base map would split more neighborhoods and not be helpful due to the fact that areas of 300-400 people are needed to make any substantive change in the alternatives. Staff offers the following general comments on each alternative: Alternative 1 - utilizes roads or existing jurisdictional boundaries for ward boundaries - Keeps many precincts the same - One ward in Delaware County - Room for growth in all wards - No good river crossing between separate parts of Ward 1 ,..... ~ Council Members May 31, 1991 (Revised June 11, 1991) Page 2 Alternative 2 - Bisects Muirfield east/west rather than north/south - Restricts growth in some wards - Uses lot lines as boundaries - Two wards in Delaware County - River separates wards Alternative 3 - Combines S.R. 161/Martin Road area with Old Dublin - Provides two ward representatives on east side - Alternative may be slightly modified to provide growth areas in all wards - utilizes visible boundaries Alternative 4 - Slight variation of Alternative 2 - Keeps more citizens in some wards (Hemingway/Memorial Drive Area) - Uses subdivision boundaries Alternative 5 - Combines existing Wards 1 and 2 - Establishes a "central ward" - Slight modification might result in more growth area for Ward 3 - utilizes subdivision boundaries - Establishes two wards in the area between Coffman and Muirfield Drive ~,~~ ~ Council Members May 31, 1991 (Revised June 11, 1991) Page 3 Staff believes that Alternatives 1, 3 and 5 have the most merit. Alternative 5 appears to have the best geographic linkages between wards. I To meet the July 1 deadline, an Ordinance will be prepared that I will permit the written description, as well as the map graphic of I the chosen alternative to be attached when ready. I This memo and the colorized versions of the five alternatives have been sent to the Council Members that were unable to attend the last meeting. Only this memo will be distributed to the Council Members that already have the colored maps. The alternatives have not changed since the last meeting. Please give me a call if you require any assistance. Enclosure PGBjejr '"'~,- .-.~- . ~ '._"'-"'~" . . C I T y 0 F 0 U B L I N Department of Planning & Development MEMORANDUM TO: City Council Members FROM: Timothy Hansley, City Manager DATE: May 15, 1991 SUBJECT: Ward Adjustment Initiated by Patrik G. Bowman, Planning Director Please find attached population figures and graphics for each of Dublin's four wards. These figures were based upon the population and housing unit counts conducted by the U.S. Census bureau in 1990. The staff did some minor estimating when the census information ("census blocks") overlapped ward boundaries. Staff also estimated the population of the newly annexed areas of Washington Township. A census map of Washington Township will soon be obtained to obtain an accurate 1990 count. These figures were compiled to provide Council with a sense of what the population disparity is between wards. The "total maximum deviation" (the aggregate total of percentage of variation from the ideal - 4,222 people) between the largest and smallest district is 167%. While it is Council's responsibility under the charter to produce wards that are substantially equal in population, the maximum deviation should not exceed 10% or 422 people if possible or practical. Staff has not yet prepared a recommendation for ward adjustments. Given the data in the 1990 Census it will not be difficult to formulate a number of alternatives. What is important to note at this time is, first, the extent of the ward population deviation, and second, just how extensively the ward boundaries will have to change in order to equalize the population. Ward 1 must become very large geographically to incorporate more people. It is clear that the northwest portion of Dublin must be divided into three wards and possibly four. Exhibit A is a graphic of the city, depicting ward boundaries. Exhibit B identifies the population in different defined geographic areas of the city. It is intended to provide an indication of how the areas could be combined to yield the ideal ward population. Interested citizens may use the graphic to perform their own analysis and participate in a public hearing on the issue. To meet the July 1 deadline imposed by the charter staff suggests the following process: 1. A community participation meeting be held during the week of May 27th. 2. After the meeting, staff formulates a recommended ward adjustment plan and forwards it to City Council for discussion at the June 3rd meeting of council. 3. Council holds a public hearing on June 17th. 4. The ward adjustment plan be adopted on July 1. For now staff recommends the following criteria be applied to adjust the wards: 1. Controlling criterion be equal distribution of population. 2. Respect geography - make the boundaries easily definable. 3. Keep subdivisions intact where possible. 4. Adjust wards along defined census "blocks" of information to eliminate the need to estimate population. 5131 Post Rd.
