Section II Peg« 4 Portland Observer May 7 . 1981 NOTICE OF HEARING Reapportionment By Gladys McCoy Multnomah County Commissioner 1 ' Over ihe past twenty years, M ult nomah County has gained 40,000 people, making it one of the fastest growing areas in Oregon. Its present population according to 1980 Cen sus is 562,640, up from 546,667 in 1970. The largest percentage o f this growth has been in the Greshman area, or East District. The law re quires the Board o f County Com missioners to review the County’ s population and develop a Re apportionm ent Plan which w ill equalize each District in the County to provide as nearly as possible "one person, one vote.” What does this growth in East D istrict have to do w ith us in the North District? How w ill we be a f fected? Our D is tric t, which is D istrict Two, will gain the area bordered by NE 33rd Avenue and NE 42 Avenue and Fremont and K lic k ita t, fo r a population gain o f approximately 4,(XX) people. You will be interested to note the grow th patterns over the last ten years: D is tric t 1, West (Buchanan); 1970, 112,955; 1980, 111,757 - 1.1 ®/o D istrict 2, N orlh-N E (M cCoy); 1970, 116,702; 1980, 109,778. District 3, Central (M iller); 1970, 118,195; 1980, 105,654 District 4, South (Blumenauer); 1970, 108,610; 1980, 106,620. D istrict 5, East (Shadburne); 1970, 100,205; 1980, 128,831. Multnomah County's Home Rule Charter, amended by voters in 1978, mandates a re-evaluation o f each D is tric t’ s boundaries, and a reap portionment o f Districts is needed if a D istrict’ s population exceeds any other District by more than fifteen percent. Presently, according to the 1980 Census figures. East District exceeds Central D istrict by over twenty-one percent. The Board has been given forty- five days from the release o f the Census in fo rm a tio n to alter the boundaries, as necessary, by this ordinance. We are using the following guidelines: I. No one D istrict w ill exceed population size by more than ten percent of any other District. 2. The general geographic characteristics o f existing Districts w ill be retained as nearly as possible 3. Any District showing an excep tionally high growth rate w ill have a lower population base than the population bases o f lower-growth Districts. 4. Whenever possible, city limits w ill not be used as boundaries, which will avoid a split in precincts if future annexation occurs. A dditionally, we are attempting to keep D istricts contiguous. We continue to utilize existing natural geographic boundaries such as the Willamette River. It is the desire o f the Board to preserve communities which have common interests as well as those which have transporta tio n links. D istricts have been equalized in a mannner to not favor any p o litica l party or specific legislator. W'e feel it is important to maintain the voting strength o f any language and/or ethnic group. In addressing these areas o f need, the County A uditor has suggested that over 20,000 people, most o f whom live in East D istrict, be re distributed into neighboring Distric ts. This will equalize the population o f each District. By approving this plan, we w ill have conformed as close as possible to the established guidelines. Each District w ill be as nearly within ten percent of other Districts in terms of population present boundaries will be represented. East D istrict w ill have a population that is five per cent lower than other Districts due to its projected growth rate, and city lim its w ill have been avoided as boundaries. Public hearings for the Proposed Reapportionm ent Plan were held on May 4, 1981, and the M u lt nomah County Board o f Commissi oners will be voting on the Plan no later than May 14. I f a plan is not approved by the Commissioners, a vote o f Ihe people w ould be required. One-district approved (Continued from Page I Col 6) Adjustments have been made on the boundaries to make it fit with the districts on the west and east. The lin a l boundaries drawn by the Committee on Voting and Re aportionment exclude all incumbent legislators. Bruce Broussard, in Salem for the com m ittee work session Wednes day, expressed his appreciation to Committee Chairman Glen Whallon ant! to the three Multnomah County legislators who had supported the one-district concept from the begin ning - Representatives Gretchen Dafoury, Rick Bauman and W ally Priestley. The plan goes to the House o f Representatives, along w ith the reapportionm ent plan fo r the remainder o f the state, on Friday, May 8. After passage there it will go to the Senate, where senate districts will be drawn.
