May 14,2001 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM F Page 3 (1) There shall be five county commissioners' districts in each county, which shall be numbered one to five, inclusive, and shall be nearly equal in proportion to population as possible. FINDINGS: 1) The Districting Commission was appointed by City Commission action of January 22, 2001. 2) The one hundred twenty (120) day requirement for report filing expires May 22, 2001. A report can be filed prior to the one hundred twenty (120) day period. 3) The only portion of Florida State Statutes which approximates the "mathematical preciseness reached in the legislative apportionment of the state" is that found in Florida Statutes Section 124.01 which reads "shall be as nearly equal in proportion to population as possible". The Staff recommendation presented to the Districting Commission has a difference of one hundred forty four (144) persons between the proposed highest populated district (District 3) and the proposed lowest populated district (District 5). The goal that the previous Commission had established was to have no more that a one percent (1%) population difference between districts. The recommendation presented has a difference on 0.5 percent between the most populated and the least populated districts. 4) The City Commission does not have to accept the Districting Commission's recommendation. 5) The Districting Commission recommendation as being presented to the City Commission allows all present City Commissioners to remain in their respective districts. 6) The Districting Commission recommended district map has followed street rights of way, power easements, streams, etc., as much as possible.
