Description
Redistricting Committee Meeting 9/15/2021 9:30 AM
A
A
A
A
C
So
we
it's
no
secret
that
we
had
some
substantial
changes
due
to
the
census
numbers
the
decrease,
which
most
rural
areas
in
the
united
states
saw
a
decrease.
We
saw
a
substantial
decrease
and
it
had
a
profound
impact
on
the
map
that
we
had
had
drawn
just
in
terms
of
of
population
growth
in
areas
and
what
we
didn't
expect
was
the
amount
of
population
loss
in
the
city
of
kankakee.
C
D
That
takes
the
the
new
data
and
applies
it
to
the
old
block
numbers
so
that
you're
you're
working
with
the
same
geographies
that
you
were
before,
and
then
we
installed
that
into
the
machine,
and
the
next
thing
we
did
was
overlay
the
approved
map
that
the
county
board
approved
back
in
what
was
it
june?
Something
like
that,
I
believe
so
on
to
it
and
then
that
calculated,
the
different
deviations
or
the
new
deviations
based
on
the
new
information,
and
there
were
some
pretty
large
numbers
right
that
were
like
27
in
some
cases.
D
C
And
so
that
was
basically
the
process
once
that
data
came
in,
it
was
no
more
than
what
a
week
and
a
half
and
we
were
able
to
get
that
into
the
system
might
even
quicker
yeah
it
was.
It
was
very
quick,
pretty
quick
and
so
I'll
show.
The
first
thing
I
was
going
to
do
is
just
to
show
you
what
our
new
map
that
the
board
approved
looks
like
with
the
new
population
numbers.
C
So
let
me
get
ready
to
share
the
screen
here,
because
that
was
the
starting
point
of
what
I
had
to
to
build
on.
We'd
already
made
a
decision
on
a
map.
Well,
if
we
had
to
be
tweaked,
let's
go
back
to
what
the
board
already
approved.
That
was
the
thought
process
there,
because
we've
already
gone
through
all
the
public
comment
and
all
that
other
stuff,
no
I'll
be
putting
it
up
here.
C
A
C
You
start
looking
at
the
big
impacts,
I'll
go
down
to
the
city
of
kankakee.
First,
as
we
we
heard
from
mr
rowe
and
also
their
you
know,
you
want
to
get
those
deviations
as
low
as
possible
and
then
the
counties,
associations,
lawyers,
all
the
various
different
ones.
All
basically
said
that
really
the
courts
get
involved.
When
you
get
over
10,
you
need
to
keep
it
below
10.
C
I
really
wanted
to
be
below
five
in
this,
because
when
you
see
these
numbers
look
what
happened
in
kankakee
on
17,
it
went
to
negative
13
and
13.
It
went
to
negative
15
19
negative
10..
That
is
an
unacceptable
number.
You
had
positive,
10
and
25.,
and
if
you
go
up,
then
it
becomes
even
more
pronounced.
26
went
up
to
26
26
and
3
4
percent.
C
Over
the
mean
this
is
over
the
average
of
all
the
districts
so
and
if
you
keep
going
north
from
there,
you
know
district
five
went
to
seven
percent,
which
is
still
within
the
bounds
of
reason.
But
it's
still
a
little
bit
higher
than
we
we
would
want.
You
go
up
into
the
mantino
area,
you
there's
still,
you
know
six
percent
over
the
mean,
and
if
you
remember,
we
were
like
around
the
one
percent
area
with
the
other
map,
the.
C
Two
percent
right
right,
so
we
we,
the
the
issue,
becomes
where
all
the
population
starts
to
was
gained
and
lost,
and
we,
I
think,
there's
a
general
acknowledgement
that
there
was
some
potential
counting
issues
in
kankakee
during
the
pandemic
that
may
have
caused
that.
But
regardless
we
have
a
legal
obligation
to
base
it
on
the
census
numbers,
and
we
actually
have
many
many
more
restrictions
on
the
counties
as
opposed
to
what
the
state
of
illinois
does.
They
can
gerrymander
their
maps
and
they
do
and
they
did
under
our
situation.
C
C
Getting
the
new
data
in
and
what
you're
looking
at
here,
like
district
nine
went
to
seven
and
three
quarter
percent,
you
know
so
and
even
even
hopkins
park
you
know
went
to
negative
4.61,
again
legal,
but
not
optimal,
so
my
task
became.
How
do
I
get
the
population
growth
areas
and
redraw
these
maps
without
completely
blowing
it
up,
but
redraw
it
and
push
those
districts
south
to
give
kankakee
the
population
balance
that
it
needs
in
those
districts?
C
A
C
C
The
problem
is,
I
think-
and
I
think
most
lawyers
agree-
that
that
would
be
a
federal
voting
rights
issue,
because
those
are
mostly
communities
of
color
and
it
would
upset
the
balance
of
the
board
and
again
it's
not
intent.
It's
impact
the
intent
made
a
beat
is
to
have
a
balanced
map,
the
impact.
I
think
we
would
run
into
federal
voting
rights
issues,
and
I
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
we
have
to
be
very
cognizant
of,
even
though
we're
not
supposed
to
consider
it
per
the
state
rules.
C
C
Now,
if
you
look
into
kankakee,
it
would
make
sense.
Well,
I
just
can't
grab
something
from
19
to
go
into
13,
because
then
I've
created
another
problem
there,
so
you
can't
just
grab
from
the
districts
around
kankakee
from
each
other,
because
you've
not
fixed
anything
you've
just
made
a
bad
problem.
Worse
so
again,
you
have
to
start
pushing
things
down
and
and
move
things
around
a
little
bit,
but
without
wholesale
changes
like
I
left
moments,
the
intent
was:
was
that
moments
the
way
that
the
board
decided
was?
C
You
know
the
representation
split,
the
way
that
it
was
instead
of
between?
I
think
four
people
it
was
before
now.
It
was
down
to
two
which
is
pretty
much.
You
know
well
one
and
then
one
for
the
the
border
around
moments,
I
believe,
is
what
we
were
looking
at.
So
it
was
a
better
map.
I
think
we
had
than
the
previous,
but
it
just
needed
changes.
So
any
other
questions
on
that,
because
we
can
dig
into
that
more
and
I
can
zoom
in
on
anything.
C
Obviously
you
know
if
I'm
taking
from
26,
then
you
have
to
have
things
that
27
gains
which
pushes
it
over
to
22..
You
almost
see
the
domino
effect
that
you,
when
you
start
moving
down
through
these
cities.
If
you
do
something
over
here
in
hopkins
park,
it
has
an
impact
over
in
rockville
township.
At
some
point,
so
I
mean
it's,
this
is
all
connected,
so
it's
it's
definitely
not
as
easy.
C
C
And
here
is
the
balanced
version
of
what
you
just
saw
for
consideration.
These
are
all
in
your
packet,
so
what
you'll
see
is
is
our.
I
think
our
highest
number
is
4.66
as
far
as
deviation
from
the
mean
and
I've
run
that
past
the
state's
attorney's
office.
They
said
that
is
well
within
a
boundaries
of
doing
what
we
need
to
do,
especially
if
you
consider,
if
you
start
grabbing
from
other
districts
around
it,
it's
going
to
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
next
one
again
that
that
ripple
effect.
C
So
if
you
look
down
into
kankakee,
we've
got
those
deviations.
You
know
negative
1,
negative,
0.76,
negative
3.05.
The
township
lines
are
respected
as
much
as
they
possibly
can
be.
The
reason
we
can
go
over
a
township
line
is
to
grab
population
as
necessary,
and
we
needed
that
for
17
and
five
needed
to
give
up
some
population
over
just
that
little
area.
So
again
it's
a
balance.
It's
it's
all
on
and
it's
by
the
way.
It's
not
voters.
C
It's
people,
it's
people
that
live
in
that
area
and
if
you
look
at
the
percentage
of
registered
voters,
you
can
kind
of
extrapolate.
You
know
what
that
number
might
be
within
each
district,
but
that
changes
too.
You
may
have
more
voters
in
one
district
than
registered
voters
versus
people
that
live
there
than
registered
voters
that
people
live
there
in
another
district,
so
you
know
there's
the
balance
is
just
on
lives
in
that
district.
C
E
C
D
Over
there
yeah,
because
we
got
that
mantino
in
a
couple
spots-
census
blocks,
follow
physical
boundaries,
so
center
line
of
a
street
could
be
a
center
line
of
an
alley,
a
creek,
a
river
but
physical
boundary.
So
it
wouldn't
cut
through
a
yard
right
unless
there's
a
creek
running
through
the
yard,
possibly
but.
C
I
just
haven't,
as
I've
been
through
this
ad
nauseam,
I
mean
literally
50
60
hours
of
doing
this
stuff
between
all
the
different
versions.
I
haven't
seen
one
go
through
an
alley:
creeks,
yes,
but
usually
that's
going
through
a
farmland
and
you
grab
the
other
side
and
there's
really
only
like
maybe
four
houses
on
that
whole
big
square.
So
it
doesn't
have
a
huge
number
impact.
D
C
C
Let
me
let
me
just
pick
one
here:
how
about
bourbon
a
is
usually
a
pretty
good
one,
because
you
never
know
where
an
apartment
building
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
because
that's
just
not
it's
one
census
block,
but
there
could
be.
You
know,
40
families
that
live
in
that
apartment
building.
So
let
me
click
on
that
real
quick
here.
C
A
C
C
Yeah
he
learned
to
save
versions
like
daily,
because
you
know
you
get
moving
on
this
and
you're
doing
different
versions
and
trying
to
figure
it
out.
So
that's
kind
of
that's
just
an
example
of
what
this
is
just
and
by
the
way.
If
I
did
the
same
thing
out
in
like
five
out
here,
it
wouldn't
have
any
impact
at
all,
because
there
may
be
one
or
two
houses
like
if
you
look
up
here
in
the
the
district,
that's
currently
well,
six.
I
had
to
grab
these
to
get
this
a
little
bit
closer.
C
So
just
these
little
blocks
over
here,
but
there's
a
few
houses
out
in
this
area
out
towards
mr
fairfield's
area,
where
he
lives
out
there.
So
it's
it's,
but
I
had
to
grab
from
his
district
to
give
it
to
228
and
then
27
had
to
get
some
of
26
and
then
it's
22
got
some
of
27.
I
believe-
and
you
know
it's
so
you'll
see
like
little
things
like
these
little
blocks.
Here
you
see
these
little
two
streets
here,
that's
just
so.
C
C
F
C
D
C
C
F
C
F
C
C
There's
only
so
much
you
can
push
down
and
then
you
start
looking
at
census
blocks
that
if
you
click
on
it
it
goes
like
all
the
way
down
and
around
something-
and
I
wish
I
had
a
good
example
of
that,
but
I
just
need
to
grab
a
little
bit
of
it
and
it
grabs
a
lot
and
so
you're
kind
of
boxed
in
by
the
rules.
If
you
will,
in
the
way
the
the
census
map
and
the
blocks
are
laid
out,
is
that
I
wish
I
could
describe
it
better.
D
C
C
C
We're
expecting
it,
but
I
didn't
have
to
deal
with
didn't,
think
I'd
deal
with
plus
26
from
the
mean
or
negative
15
and
10
and
12
and
plus
10.
I
didn't
think
it
was
going
to
be
that
much
in
certain
areas,
but
we
knew
we
were
going
to
have
to
move
some
things
around
if
the
census
came
in
in
time
you
know,
and
when
we
did
this,
the
new
law
wasn't
out,
it
wasn't
signed,
so
we
kind
of
did
things
the
right
way.
C
C
With
the
the
maps
that
we've
handed
out
by
the
way
we
have
those
deviations
in
the
packet
here,
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
knew
that
this
will
all
go
up
online.
You
know,
and
and
and
you
can
see
the
streets
where
they're
at
on
the
street
level,
so
we
think
we've
got
it
out
there
and
if
we
need
more
for
the
board,
just
let
us
know
we
can
sit
with
dell
and
and
go
through
it
and
all
that
stuff.
If
it's
before
or
after
it
passes,
yeah
yeah.
C
C
He
just
you
know
dell's
gonna
have
to
go
back,
make
sure
those.
No,
we
call
them
orphans
like
a
little
spot,
that's
unassigned
or
assigned
to
a
different
district
over
here.
We're
gonna
go
through
and
do
the
little
cleanups
to
make
sure
everything
is
just
buttoned
up
tight,
but
that's
between
now
and
the
next
full
board
meeting.
C
G
C
And
once
once
we
go
through
it
and
if
you've
got
questions
as
a
board
member
yeah
we
can
handle
that
the
public
will
have
complete
and
total
access
to
everything.
Yeah
and
that's
key
is
because
dan
has
to
start
getting
the
stuff
together.
You
know
voter
lists.
All
of
that
kind
of
stuff
have
to
be
reassigned.
That's
a
little
bit
of
work
yeah.
So
he's
saying
please
give
me,
give
me
time
get
this
to
me
as
soon
as
you
can,
because
he's
never
had
to
deal
with
this
before.
