The City of Houston Charter requires that Houston City Council expand to eleven single-member districts at such point that census data demonstrates that the city’s population exceeds 2.1 million residents. With council’s confirmation that the city has surpassed this threshold, the City has embarked on the process of creating Districts J and K.
The City is interested in hearing from you and your neighborhood regarding your suggestions for the configuration of the new council districts. There will NOT be a map of new districts available at the redistricting meetings. This phase of the process is designed to hear from the public BEFORE the City of Houston draws a proposed map.
You are invited to attend this town hall meeting and tell us what you think. Go to http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/2011/index.html for more information.
If you have questions or concerns, contact margaret.wallace@houstontx.gov or call 713.837.7826.
Here’s a map to the location. Be there if you can.
