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.
