SOLANO COUNTY – Residents can review and comment on three possible scenarios of how the 2010 Census data could ultimately alter the district boundaries for county supervisors.

The draft maps will be on display at redistricting “open houses.” The draft maps attempt to equalize the population among the five supervisorial districts.

The Board will review the results of the outreach effort and consider the alternatives and provide direction at its public meeting on redistricting in June.
