Public Hearing and Discussion of Illustrative Plans |
Illustrative Plan 3 Adopted |
After the 2010 Census data were analyzed, Barton Springs / Edwards Aquifer Conservation District’s previous boundaries of the Board of Directors precincts did not produce sufficiently equal population and had to be redrawn in order to comply with the “one-person, one-vote” principle established by the U.S. Constitution and with other applicable Texas law.
The Board of Directors of the Barton Springs / Edwards Aquifer Conservation District held a Public Hearing, discussed three preliminary Plans in two open meetings, and invited public comment (both written and in person) on new boundaries for its director precincts. After consideration of public input, the Board of Directors voted on and adopted new precinct boundaries at the November 17, 2011 Board Meeting.
Copies of the plans that were considered are available by clicking on the maps and summary tables below. Plan 3 was the version adopted by the Board.
