Easly City Council approves ordinance to redraw six council districts
Summary
Easly City Council adopted Ordinance 20 25 0 3 on second reading to redistrict six single-member city council districts based on the 2020 decennial census after a brief public hearing and an unopposed vote.
Easly City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 20 25 0 3 on second reading to redraw the city’s six single-member council districts based on the 2020 decennial census.
The council opened a public hearing before the vote. During public comment, Mr. Feder, a resident, asked whether the council would vote on the map posted on the city’s website, saying, “y'all are voting on the map that's on the website right? Correct.” Council members confirmed the map on the website was the subject of the vote.
At the ordinance second reading, a councilmember moved to bring the ordinance to the floor for a vote and another councilmember seconded. The council then voted by raised hands; the clerk announced there were no opposing votes and the ordinance was adopted. No amendments or recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
The ordinance implements new boundaries for Easly City’s six single-member election districts using data from the 2020 decennial census. The transcript does not specify map details, the number of councilmembers present during the vote, or when the new districts will take effect.
The council adjourned immediately after completing the redistricting vote.
