Ordinance 22-24 - To Amend Title 2 of the Bloomington Municipal Code Entitled
“Administration and Personnel” – Re: Amending Article VI of Chapter 2.04 (Common
Council) To Establish Councilmanic Districts for the City of Bloomington
This ordinance fulfills the Council’s obligation, in accordance with IC 36-4-6-3, to establish
six councilmanic districts in 2022 based upon data received as a result of the federal census
in 2020. Under this statute, these districts must be contiguous, reasonably compact, and, as
nearly as possible, of equal population. The ordinance brings forward recommendations of
the Citizens’ Redistricting Advisory Commission, which allowed and invited members of
the Commission and public to offer maps for the Commission’s consideration in light of the
statutory requirements and other local criteria. The Commission met five times, with
members of the public present at each meeting, considered various plans prepared by
commissioners, city staff, and the public, and recommended this map, which is in
compliance with statutory requirements.
