Upon receipt of census numbers, we are required to realign our board member districts/precincts in order to provide equitable numbers.  The current numbers are:

Dist 1 - 7,697
Dist 2 - 10,245
Dist 3 - 8,903
Dist 4 - 7,816
Dist 5 - 10,276

The following recommendation made by Guy Ziegler, Franklin County Clerk, would address the number disparity between districts:

1.  Move Owenton Road precinct from the 2nd District to the 1st
2.  Move Bellepoint(Buttimer Hill Area) from the 3rd District to the 4th
3.  Move Collins Lane Precinct from 5th District to 3rd

This realignment would result in the following voter numbers:

Dist 1 - 9,122
Dist 2 - 8,820
Dist 3 - 9,574
Dist 4 - 8,514
Dist 5 - 8,907
