Redistricting Plan for City of Elk River
On February 25, 2002 the Council reviewed a proposed redistricting map of the City of Elk
River. At that time the City was only looking at the necessity of redistricting it's four wards
to more evenly distribute the population. The Council unofficially gave its nod of approval
to the proposed plan. Since that time, the courts have adopted the congressional and
legislative redistricting plans, which made it necessary for the City to revise the proposed
City redistricting plan. The congressional plan placed the City in the 6* Congressional
District and did not split Elk River. The legislative redistricting plan, on the other hand, split
the City placing Elk River into two different senate dismcts and two different legislative
districts. Elk River is now in Senate Districts 16 and 48 and in State Legislative Districts 16B
and 48A.
Staff has slightly modified the previously proposed City redistricting plan to incorporate the
legislative redistricting plan. The chart below shows how the population per ward has
changed from 1990 to 2000 and what is currently proposed.Wards two and four ate
purposely low in the third colurrm because of anticipated future growth.

City Precinct Plan
Staff is proposing to split each election ward into two precincts, mainly for the purpose of
organizing and administering elections. Precincts are not tied to population size, but they are
used to control the number of registered voters per precinct. Precincts can only contain one
legislative district, one congressional district, one ward, and one county commissioner
district.
The chart below shows the population per precinct.

This ordinance will be distributed on Monday evening.
If the Council wishes to adopt the proposed precinct plan, it must be adopted by
resolution. The resolution describes each of the 8 precincts in metes and bounds.
