13 Roy Terry 52. Redrawing Voting District Boundaries Based on 2010 Census Data. Attachment: Redistricting2011Ltr.pdf Chief Operational Officer, Mrs. Michele LaBute, explained that as a requirement of the Constitution of the State of Florida, Collier County is redrawing the voting district boundaries for the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in order to achieve population equity in accordance with the 2010 Census data. In the past, the School Board has chosen to have coterminous voting district boundaries with the BCC in order to benefit the general public. Collier County is specifically requesting that the School Board consider having coterminous voting district boundaries with the BCC. Collier County is also requesting that the School Board allow District staff to attend three to four public redistricting meetings to function as interpreters for Spanish and Haitian Creole speakers and additional staff to serve as School District representatives. Staff recommended the Board follow the coterminous boundaries with the BCC and provide support by assigning administrative staff to work on the boundaries and provide translators/interpreters when public meetings are held. In light of the redrawing of boundaries, Mrs. Curatolo requested having a discussion on increasing the number of School Board Members and districts represented. District General Counsel Jon Fishbane stated that he would provide the Board with a memo on this issue that was a result of past discussion. A public speaker supported working with the BCC on the voting boundaries. Chair Sprague entertained a motion to approve the two-fold motion as recommended, followed by a vote. The motion carried unanimously. A copy of the supporting documentation is on file in the School Board Office. Motions: 1. The Superintendent recommends that the School Board approve having coterminous voting district boundaries with the Board of County Commissioners. 2. If the Board approves coterminous voting districts, then the Superintendent recommends - PASS Page 13 of 17
