Public Hearing Monday on City Redistricting

The Bowie City Council is considering two alternatives regarding council districts that will affect the next city election in November 2013.

A public hearing will be held in conjunction with the council meeting at 8 p.m. Monday in the Council Chambers at . View the agenda for the meeting at http://www.cityofbowie.org/council/agenda.asp.

The council districts are evaluated every ten years to ensure the population of each district is substantially equal. The alternatives being considered are:

• To retain the existing configuration of the districts. 
• To adjust the boundaries of District 2 and District 3, such that the communities of Long Ridge, Westview, Spring Meadows and Dixon Crossing would move from District 3 to District 2.
