AGENDA ITEM DETAILS RECOMMENDATION: City staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing precinct boundaries and polling places. ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED? No No BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION: Minnesota Statue §204B.14, Subd. 3(e) requires that precinct boundaries must be reestablished within 60 days of the time when the legislature has been redistricted or at least 19 weeks before the state primary election, whichever comes first. The Minnesota Supreme Court Special Redistricting Panel released its congressional and legislative redistricting plan on February 15, 2022. Municipalities have until March 29, 2022 to reestablish their precinct boundaries based on the court’s plan. The attached precinct map divides the City into four voting precincts. Polling places must be fully accessible, large enough to accommodate the election activities, free of other non-election activities, smoke and liquor free, and must be located either within the precinct boundary or within one mile of the precinct boundary. The proposed precinct map was reviewed by the Administrative Subcommittee at their meeting on March 9, and by the City Council at their special meeting on March 14. Staff has prepared a resolution and map for City Council approval.
