Council of the Whole <br /> Minutes/May 28, 1987 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Mr. Steve Luecke voiced concern over the consideration of <br /> various neighborhoods when drawing district boundaries. In <br /> response to a question raised by Mr. Luecke with regard to who <br /> has the ultimate authority, the Council Attorney indicated that <br /> the current draft of the ordinance sets forth the Common Council <br /> as being the final authority with regard to drawing of district <br /> boundaries. She also indicated that the standards set forth by <br /> State law are also specifically incorporated into the draft <br /> ordinance. <br /> Councilman Barcome noted that the use of private homes as <br /> voting places is a concern and an attempt is being made to <br /> avoid that situation so that more public places will be utilized <br /> on election day. He indicated , from his experience serving on <br /> the State Committee, that St. Joseph County has been presented as <br /> one of the better counties with regard to the drawing of district <br /> boundaries . <br /> Considerable discussion concerning the proposed maps which <br /> were submitted then took place on the parts of the various <br /> Councilmembers and concerned citizens. Mr. Primus again <br /> indicated that he would be happy to provide the additional infor- <br /> mation requested by the Council . <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee, <br /> the meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Councilman Ann Puzzello, Chairman <br />
