Henry and Frank Garred met with the Board to discuss the population of each commissioner district being out of balance. Also present were Auditor Betty Anderson and Prosecuting Attorney Howard. Mr. Garred feels that an election of commissioners held under the present alignment of commissioner districts, in light of the substantial population differences, would be subject to attack by litigation. The Board advised that they intend to wait for the return of the 1980 Census before they begin redistricting. At the beginning of this year they had taken steps for re- disctricting but did not continue because Mr. Huntingford declared his intent to run for the Commissioner District #2 position along with the fact that the population figures were not yet returned.
