New Valdosta Council Districts (Proposed)

Valdosta City Councillor Tim Carroll (District 5) sent this map to LAKE for publication. I think District 5 is the one that sticks out to the northwest. The cover letter appears to have been addressed to his constituents. -jsq

All –

I wanted to share the attached council district map changes with all of you. This map shows in the dark lines the existing city council districts.  The color area shows the changes.

As you can see my district, which is purple will change some as a result of the census numbers.  District 5 is giving up a little on the south border to District 6 and picking up on the eastern middle borders from District 4. The target average was 9084 citizens per district based off of the city wide count of 54,518.  District 5 will end up with a little more than that, but within the margin allowed by the census department.

I have enjoyed representing those that will move to district 6,

Robert Yost’s district.  Those that will join the district later this year... I welcome you and am available for any questions or concerns. As always my goal is to be accessible and responsive to the needs and concerns of the citizens of not only district 5, but the city as a whole.  

City council will have its’ first official reading of these changes at next week’s meeting.  It will have a final reading and adoption during our June meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Councilman Tim Carroll
