RESOLUTION
A Resolution calling for a meeting of the Oliver County Redistricting Board during the census interim to redistrict the Commissioner Districts, as required by law.
WHEREAS the 2020 federal census has been completed and published and the census results indicate that the population of an Oliver County commissioner district may vary by more than ten percent from the average population per commissioner; and
WHEREAS the County inadvertently failed to meet the deadline for holding a meeting within three months after the official publication of the federal decennial census, as required under N.D.C.C. §11-07-02, and the County desires to resolve the issue by directing the Oliver County Redistricting Board to meet, consider whether the geographical boundaries of the commissioner districts needs to be adjusted so that there is no more than ten percent variance in population, and that the Board file a map of the new district boundaries (if required) by January first of 2024.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County Commissioners of Oliver County, that a meeting of the Oliver County Redistricting Board (comprised of those persons listed in N.D.C.C. §11-07-01) be called by the Chairman to be held within three months from passage of this Resolution, to organize as provided under N.D.C.C. Chapter 11-07 and to consider redistricting of the commissioner districts, if required.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, by the Board of County Commissioners, that, in the event the Redistricting Board determines there to be a population variance of more than ten percent per district, then the Redistricting Board shall comply with the requirements of N.D.C.C. Chapter 11-07, prepare a redistricting plan, and file it with the Auditor on or before January 1, 2024.
At its regular meeting on July 6, 2023, Commissioner Darrell Berger moved the foregoing Resolution, seconded by Commissioner Blake Wilkens, the following voting for: Blake Wilkens, Darrell Berger, and Lee Husfloen, and None voting against, the Resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
Dated this 6th day of July, 2023.
