Solano County press release

SOLANO COUNTY – Residents can review and comment on three possible scenarios of how the 2010 Census data could ultimately alter the district boundaries for county supervisors.

The draft maps will be on display at redistricting “open houses.” The draft maps attempt to equalize the population among the five supervisorial districts.

The public meetings are scheduled from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the following locations:

•              May 24 – Solano County Events Center, 601 Texas St. in Fairfield

•              May 25 – , 600 East A St. in Dixon

•              May 26 – Solano Community College Vallejo Campus. Room 122, 545 Columbus Parkway in Vallejo

“This is the first unveiling of the draft maps,” said John Taylor, the consultant leading the County redistricting effort. “When this public outreach effort is complete, we will return to the Board for a public hearing where we will seek additional public input and Board direction.”

The Board will review the results of the outreach effort and consider the alternatives and provide direction at its public meeting on redistricting in June.
