CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HENDERSON,
NEVADA, REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 3467 IN ITS ENTIRETY AND
SETTING FORTH A NEW ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE WARDS
WITHIN THE CITY OF HENDERSON, NEVADA, ACCORDING TO

CHARTER.
(Motion)
Councilman Dan K. Shaw moved to select Redistricting Plan 1 and refer
Bill No. 3562 to the Regular Meeting with a do-pass recommendation.
(Vote)
The roll call vote favoring passage was: Those voting aye: Mayor Debra March,
Councilman John F. Marz, Councilwoman Michelle Romero, Councilman Dan K.
Shaw, Councilman Dan H. Stewart. Those voting nay: (None). Those absent:
(None). Those abstaining: (None). Result: Pass.
(Minutes/Discussion)
Jose Luis Valdez, City Clerk, presented a summary of this item and displayed
the City Council Wards Redistricting Plans 1 and 2. He stated staff
recommends the City Council Wards Redistricting Plan 2.
Andrew Powell, Community Development and Services, Principal Planner,
stated there are subtle differences between the two plans; however, with both
plans, Ward 1 and Ward 4 need to take on population while Ward 2 and Ward 3
need to shed some population to bring the four wards into balance. He said
Plan 1 provides room for future growth in Henderson, which decreases the
chance of having to redistrict the ward map after the next election cycle, and the
plan is within the confines of the City Charter. Mr. Powell misspoke and stated
Ward 1 contains the most minorities, however, Ward 3 contains the largest
minority population.
Mr. Powell said staff recommends the City Council Wards Redistricting
Plan 2 because the City Charter states the wards should be as close to equal, in
population, as practical.

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 – Minutes
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the benefits and drawbacks of the two
plan options.
Responding to Mayor March's inquiry regarding public comments, Mr. Powell
said Bill No. 3562 was Read in Title at the October 5, 2021, City Council
Meeting, which contained Public Comment sections on the agenda.
Following Councilman Stewart's statement that planning for future growth may
prevent the need to redistrict the ward maps again within the next few years,
Mr. Powell said regardless of which plan is chosen today, the ward maps may
need to be redistricted after the next election cycle; however, there is less of a
chance of having to do so if
City Council Wards Redistricting Plan 1 is selected.
