BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Mark McCauley, Interim County Administrator
FROM: Heidi Eisenhour, Commissioner
DATE: December 20, 2021
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND ACTION re: finalized option for 2021 Redistricting
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Redistricting is the process by which new congressional and state legislative district boundaries are
drawn after the Federal census every ten years. As part of redistricting counties redraw Commissioner
districts and precincts. We have been working on developing alternatives the past few months.
A Virtual Public Hearing to review the three finalized options was held Monday, December 6, 2021 at
11:30 a.m. At their regular Monday meeting on December 20, Commissioners will adopt revised
districts based on public input received to date. December 31, 2021 is the deadline for jurisdictions
that elect members of their governing body in 2022 to adopt updated commissioner districts. This
applies to Jefferson County.
ANALYSIS:
Below is a timeline of our work on this issue to date. We have been adhering to the following State criteria
for redistricting outlined by state law RCW 29A.76.010(4):
(a) Each internal director, council, or commissioner district shall be as nearly equal in population as
possible to each and every other such district comprising the municipal corporation, county, or
special purpose district.
(b) Each district shall be as compact as possible.
(c) Each district shall consist of geographically contiguous area.
(d) Population data may not be used for purposes of favoring or disfavoring any racial group or political
party.
(e) To the extent feasible and if not inconsistent with the basic enabling legislation for the municipal
corporation, county, or district, the district boundaries shall coincide with existing recognized natural
boundaries and shall, to the extent possible, preserve existing communities of related and mutual
interest.
Activities to date:
July 8 Sent survey to junior and special districting to solicit their plans
September 16 Quinn Grewell, Elections Coord., met with political party leaders to review process
September 30 Final Census data was available, we undertook GIS work to develop five alternatives—
addressing commissioner districts
October 11 Commissioner Eisenhour briefed the BOCC at Monday Meeting re: redistricting
process, public engagement, review five alternatives, select three for public review
October Two public notices for Public Meeting with other elected were published
Develop options for public comments at Oct 26 meeting and post to website
October 26 Public Meeting - with BOCC, Port of PT & PUD Commissioners, review and discuss
three alternatives
November Two public notices for this hearing were published
Our three alternatives were updated slightly based on input received via public
comment and in our 10/26 public meeting
December 6 Held a public hearing on three finalized options for redrawing Commissioner Districts
After adoption of updated Commissioner district boundaries in December, the Jefferson County Auditor and
GIS lead will work to balance precincts within the new district boundaries. The deadline for updated
precincts is May 2, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss and choose one of the three final commissioner district boundary options presented at the
December 6, 2021 hearing.
