Following weeks of meetings and public input, the Weld County Redistricting Advisory Committee presented three redistricting maps for the Weld County Redistricting Commission (the Board of Weld County Commissioners) during Monday’s 9 a.m. commissioner meeting.
Redistricting is the process of reviewing county commissioner district boundaries to ensure they comply with state law and the Weld County Home Rule Charter. Under Colorado Revised Statutes (30-10-306 through 30-10-306.4), boundaries for county commissioner districts must be redrawn based on data from the most recent United States Census.
The Redistricting Advisory Committee, which was made of up of nine Weld County residents, worked to produce three redistricting map options to present to the commission at Monday’s meeting.
Now, the Redistricting Commission will hold three public hearings to gather public comment on the proposed map prior to a final approval on July 30.
To attend the public hearings virtually, registration is required. Registrants will be asked to provide their name, email and city where they live. Virtual attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions or provide comment through the online link they will receive upon registration.
