May 20, 1991 at 9:13 A. M. with all officers present except
Precinct 4 Commissioner, Bruce Oehler, and the Court having
duly opened the fallowing proceedings were had:
Commissioner Oehler arrived at 9:20 A. M.
°~ a~~'~ Mr. Bob Base with Allison and Associates presented the Court
with the preliminary findings and suggestions on the
redistricting oŁ Kerr County. The population in
Commissioner's Precinct No. 3 is to small and needs to be
~ "'" increased by approximately 2600 people. It was suggested
that Commissioner's Precinct 4 give up voting box 16 to
Commissioner's Precinct 1, Commissioner's Precinct 1 give
voting box 18 to Commissioner's Precinct 3, take 1,000 out oŁ
voting box 1 in Commissioner's Precinct 1 and give to
Commissioner's Precinct 2, then Commissioner's Precinct 2
give 1,500 to Commissioner's Precinct 3 so that all the
Commissioner's Precincts are balanced. Mr. Bass said it
would be better to go by census blacks, because there is no
way to determine exactly where the population is by voting
boxes. He will look at the census blocks and prepare a
proposal for the Court on which blocks to transfer to balance
out the population in the Commissioner's Precincts.
The Court needs to appoint a citizens committee to work with
the Court on the redistricting. It was suggested that each
Commissioner appoint two (2) people and the County Judge
appoint three (3) people to form an eleven (11) member
committee, which needs to consist oŁ hispanics, blacks, and
whites, both men and women. The committee will make
recommendations to the Court and conduct the public hearings
on the redistricting. Mr. Bass said all the data needs to be
completed and submitted to the State Department by the end oŁ
August 1991.
COMMISSIONERS' COURT ADJOURNED at 10:45 A. M.
