Some of you may remember, but this is how our 4 voting wards are currently divided...
And this is the proposed new rezoning discussed last night by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at the special called work session last night...
Below is the current population of Spring Hill based on the proposed new wards as provided by the Codes Department and the City Engineer taking into account the 2005 Special Census and the lots that have been built since then...
And below is the projected population of Spring Hill based on the proposed new wards after all currently approved lots are built as provided by the Codes Department and the City Engineer...
I saw this article on the Tennessean Site this morning:
Spring Hill Redraws Wards to Better Reflect Population
It is important to note that if the aldermen do approve the proposed ward re-apportionment, it would have to be approved in ordinance form, which would require 2 separate votes.

I understand that the re-apportionment proposal is fairer than the old one, but not by much. The new proposal leaves one ward with 3 times as many residents as another ward and according to the article in this mornings paper, bases the apportionment on geography as much as population. The proposal should reflect equal population as much as possible. Is it possible this re-apportionment was done to keep all of the current alderman in the same wards? The cynic in me says yes!
it sure beats having one ward with over fifteen times the population of another as we have now
