County staff: private group paid to add city labels and precincts to district maps for fair outreach
Summary
County staff told commissioners a private requester paid IT fees to add city labels and precinct numbers to large-scale district maps intended for display at the county fair; staff confirmed core map outlines were unchanged and flagged the need to plan how maps will appear in the voter pamphlet.
County staff told the board a private requester had asked that city labels be added to a large-scale district map and that precinct numbers for Sunriver (Precinct 16) and Black Butte (Precinct 22) be included. Staff said the requester paid the IT fees to produce the custom maps for advocacy purposes and the maps were intended for display at the county fair.
"The private party paid the fees to our IT department, to both just add the labels, add the precincts, and then, to make some of the changes to the inserts," staff said, adding that the overall map outlines and colors did not change. Commissioners noted the ballot pamphlet will be printed in black and white and asked staff to return next week with discussion on how maps and text will be presented to voters.
