Miller, City Solicitor on the agenda owner New business is an teem relating to the creation of a Cowwittee for purposes of studying the possible effect - ofn w legislation relating to the election of members of the State Rouse of Representatives. The legislation, Lo 1723, divides the City into five (5) voting districts which bear no relationship to our seven (7) election bards. Cut initial ispreeeion is that the new legislation will nessitate the reduction of out election wards to five (5) and action to realign the boundaries to condform with the voting districts for. the Nouse. Such action would obviously have some sequences for the voting public, and should not be taken without careful cons; ideratfon of all potential problems. For the information of the Council, enclosed please find copies of pages 11-13 which provide a metes and bounds description of the five (5) districts. Tc is my understanding that the City Clerk is also pre- -,paring a map which will better assist w in ascertaining their location. R. H.M. Enclosures <c.
