ATTACHMENTS: Draft Resolutions APPROVED BY: .D&) RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1) Motion to Adopt a Resolution Establishing Precincts; and 2) Motion to Adopt a Resolution Reestablishing Precincts; and 3) Motion to Adopt a Resolution Approving the Designation of Polling Places for the 2012 Elections. SUMMARY Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of election districts, and is done in the United States after completion of the decennial Census. The voters who live in each district then elect individuals to represent the people of the district in a legislature or other governing body. The purpose of redistricting is to ensure that the people of each district are equally represented. In Minnesota, the state legislature has statutory responsibility for redistricting congressional, legislative and Metropolitan Council districts. County boards are responsible for redistricting county commissioner districts, city councils for redistrictin g city wards, and school boards for redistrictin g board member districts. In addition, cities and ty townships will establish (or reestablish) their precinct boundaries as part of the redistricting as will p � ) p p gP rocess counties that have unorganized territory. Staff used census data in determining the redistricting of precincts in Rosemount. We looked specifically at the total population to balance registered voters while taking into account short term and long term population growth. Precinct boundaries should be recognizable by physical features. The features include streets, lakes, rivers, streams, railroad tracks and power lines. In addition, all precincts should be sets of census blocks that are not split in the formation of a precinct. Staff recommends boundary changes for Precincts 1, 2, 5A and 5B. Staff also recommends the addition of Precinct 7. Staff does not recommend any changes to the established boundaries for Precincts 3, 4 and 6. With the combination of Precincts 5A and 5B the City will still have a total of seven precincts. To determine the location of polling locations staff factored the following: 1) polling locations that could be located within the precinct; 2) polling locations that are located within one mile of the precinct boundary; 3) size of the polling location for voting and handling of long lines; 4) size of polling location parking lot; 5) polling location accessibility for voters; and 6) polling location availability. Staff recommends the following polling locations: Precinct 1: Rosemount Community Center, 13885 South Robert Trail Precinct 2: St. John's Lutheran Church, 14385 Blaine Avenue East Precinct 3: Shannon Park Elementary School, 13501 Shannon Parkway Precinct 4: Rosemount Steeple Center, 14375 South Robert Trail Precinct 5: Our Saviors Church, 14980 Diamond Path Precinct 6: Rosemount United Methodist Church, 14770 Canada Avenue Precinct 7: Community of Hope Church, 14401 Biscayne Avenue West The polling locations will go into effect immediately. Any changes to the polling locations must be made 90 days before the next election. Staff has used the above - locations for other elections over the past years with the exception of St. John's Lutheran Church. The City's redistricting plan must be submitted to the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office by April 3, 2012. The City's plan will be posted on the City's website and will be included in the summer newsletter. Dakota County will mail out notices to affected voters 25 days prior to the August 14, 2012 Primary Election. Staff recommends approval of the above - stated motions. 2 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2012 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ESTABLISHING OF PRECINCTS WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of Minnesota has been redistricted; and WHEREAS, the Minnesota Statute section 204B.14, subd. 3 (d) requires that precinct boundaries must be reestablished within 60 days of when the legislature has been redistricted or at least 19 weeks before the state primary election, whichever comes first.
