A Motion was made by Andy Gappa and seconded by Glen Christensen to approve
Resolution 2022-06 Establishing precincts & Polling Places. City governments must
reestablish all precincts after state redistricting. This could be a routine process of
verifying that existing precinct boundaries meet legal requirements and then
reconfirming those boundaries. The city could also determine those existing precincts
do not meet the requirements in law, particularly if new legislative or congressional
districts have split existing precincts. Cities may also find this to be a good time to
realign precincts to eliminate precincts split by school districts, adjust, add, or remove
precincts to accommodate population changes, or to change polling places. Voting in
favor of said motion; Mike Grote-Yes, Andy Gappa-Yes, Glen Christensen- Yes, Dave
Whitney and Cody Eager-Yes. Motion was approved.
