The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard <br />regarding this matter. <br />Bill Glynn, 1802 Barefoot Place, President of the Barrier Island Coalition and North <br />Beach Association, commended everyone involved on their efforts and their non-political <br />approach to this excellent job. He believed that Map No. 4 makes the most sense and that <br />Map No. 7 is an excellent secondary plan. He asked the Board to pay close attention to the <br />state redistricting process as everyone is deeply concerned about this. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There <br />being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge, that the <br />Board approve Plan Proposal No. 4. <br />Commissioner Macht questioned whether thought could be given to balancing <br />populations as to growth rates, and Chairman Ginn advised that the statutes prohibit that <br />method of districting. However, if there is an imbalance, the districts can be changed in odd <br />numbered years. <br />County Attorney Bangel noted that the Constitution says, with regard to population, <br />"as nearly equal as practicable" while the Statutes say "as possible" <br />Chairman Ginn noted that the School Board will vote on their choice on November <br />13, 2001. <br />OCTOBER 23, 2001 <br />-32- <br />ria st £i^9a.- <br />bti.> E.� <br />
