Redistricting of Seminole Heights

From Randy Baron


I went to the meeting at the Platt library last night. Currently, on each of the proposed plans, all of Seminole Heights except Hampton Terrace (precinct 318) and SESH (319) are in district 6. However, I suggested that 318 and 319 be moved
to 6 in exchange for moving 214, 215, and 217 (Riverside Heights and parts of
Tampa Heights) into 5. Terry Cullen liked this idea because it unifies Seminole
Heights and Tampa Heights into single districts and provides a natural border
(the river) between districts 5 and 6 south of MLK to Columbus. Jim Hosler said
he would check the math and get back to me. If the math works, we should lobby
for this plan to be staff's recommendation. We should also have a presence at
the final hearing to advocate this plan.

A poor attempt to highlight Seminole Heights
