In response to Commissioner Young’s questions regarding who had access to the mapping tool software and whether the maps would be created collectively, Chair Lear asked that Commissioner Peters be the liaison between the Commission and Community Development to create a few draft maps to work from and was hopeful that the drafts would be available for the October 19, 2021 public meeting for review and to take public input. In response to Commissioner Crawford’s question regarding how the Commission would be able to consider public interests without being able to split Census Blocks and keeping in line with the equal distribution of population, Chair Lear stated that anyone could submit their own map to be taken into consideration. Commissioner Peters asked if preliminary maps could be created if the Federal Census numbers were not expected to change much for Alpine County. Chair Lear explained that a public meeting needed to be held to discuss communities of interest and that there would be enough time to hold a second public hearing meeting after the October 19, 2021 meeting. Commissioner Young suggested that Commissioner Peters work with Community Development to create a few preliminary options that can be reviewed, adjusted and narrowed down at future public meetings. 5.3 Discussion regarding public input and map submission.
