III. Old Business-None IV. New Business — Consideration and Review of the City Commission's Recommendations from the July 18, 2017, Districting Commission Recommendation Report Presentation Chairman Keethler explained to the Board that he presented their recommendation of Board Plan 2 (attached) to the City Commission on July 18, 2017. The City Commission did have feedback and requested they modify this board plan and reevaluate the Bay Street proposed boundary to consider all surrounding homes on that street be incorporated within Wage the same district. Discussion ensued regarding their reasons for placing the dividing line down Kissimmee Avenue, which was due to trying to maintain a straight parallel north/south boundary line. Chairman Keethler further stated that after that meeting he requested GIS Analyst Mike O'Halloran to break up the census block that Bay Street is located in to see what the results of that would entail. GIS Analyst Mike O'Halloran presented a PowerPoint presentation which illustrated the changes he was asked to make during the City Commission meeting, and he also showed the overall changes which were proposed from Board Plan 2. He showed the Board the current Board Plan 2 (attached), which was recommended to the City Commission; and further, he showed them Proposed Board Plan 4 (attached), which splits the census block. Member Hopper interjected inquiring if this Board was instructed to break the census block or whether the City Commission is concerned about whether there are homes being divided on Bay Street. Chairman Keethler indicated that it was his interpretation that the City Commission is concerned that there are homes within the same surrounding area that are being split by a district line. He further expressed that he asked GIS Analyst Mike O'Halloran to break up the census block to include all the surrounding homes within the same district. GIS Analyst Mike O'Halloran continued discussing the population figures for Board Plan 2 and the proposed Board Plan 4. He made a recommendation of keeping the line straight down Kissimmee instead of splitting the census block or take in the entire census block. Chairman Keethler thanked Commissioner Wilsen and Commissioner Firstner for attending tonight's meeting. The Board continued to adjust the map, and further discussion ensued regarding different variations of moving the whole census block into District 2 or keeping the whole census block where it lays within District 3. Chairman Keethler and Member Hopper agreed to move the whole census block into District 2 along with a small triangular census block which lays North of Oakland Avenue between Taylor Street and Kissimmee Avenue, which is undeveloped and does not affect the deviation percentage. GIS Analyst Mike O'Halloran continued to discuss his recommendation to the Board regarding the new Maine Street extension. This project is realigning Maine Street, which is being extended to Maguire Road, and in between the two Maine Streets is a retention pond. He assumes that when the Census Bureau modifies the blocks in the year 2020, they may follow the new Maine Street, because they tend to follow street center lines. He is recommending making this change now, which would be splitting the census block boundary. Chairman Keethler indicated that personally he is not concerned about this at this point; and he recommended waiting to see if the Census Bureau does modify this census block, because they may not. 2IPage Chairman Keethler inquired whether Assistant City Attorney Crosby-Collier has any input. Assistant City Attorney Crosby-Collier indicated this Board is encouraged to follow census blocks and not to create irregular boundaries; and further, she mentioned that she believes there are no residents adversely affected with this Board Plan 4. She believes this recommendation is strong and adequate. Member Hopper suggested that everyone try to attend the next City Commission meeting where this will be discussed. City Clerk Sibbitt explained the upcoming process, which includes a staff report to be placed on the next City Commission agenda explaining Board Plan 4 going before the next City Commission meeting. If the City Commission accepts the report, an ordinance will be drafted whereby it will then go before the City Commission again for a first reading and second reading public hearing and adoption. Further discussion ensued regarding the final process with the City Commission. V. Public Comments (7:09 pm) District 2 Commissioner Wilsen, questioned the board regarding the old Maine Street, which was discussed earlier by GIS Analyst Mike O'Halloran, and asked for further clarification. Chairman Keethler explained the triangular retention pond census block that GIS Analyst Mike O'Halloran discussed earlier. She further thanked the Board for their efforts and volunteering their time. District 3 Commissioner Firstner shared with the Board that he believes they have accomplished what the City Commission has asked them to do. VI.
