After five months of hearings and map drawing sessions, the committee’s final draft is scheduled to go before city council for a vote Thursday morning.
After 6 1/2 months of meetings, the San Antonio City Council will vote on a new district map drawn up by an advisory committee.– You might not move from your home Thursday, but you could still move out of your council district.
. The final map would change the boundaries of every council district except Districts 2 & 3, and bring the total deviation in population between the biggest and smallest districts down from 34.6 percent to 8.8 percent. District 5 would still be the city’s least-populated and District 8 the most-populated under the proposed map, but the difference between them would be about 13,000 people rather than 50,000.Although council members could amend the proposed map from the dais, they are expected to give a straight “yes” or “no” vote.
