Members of the public and press were present
Mr. Outterson said that re-districting is much easier this time than it was last time and that after reviewing the maps he does not have any questions. He said that he prefers Sample 1 because it keeps DeBary and Deltona together and they identify well together. He said that the disadvantage of Sample 1 is the splitting of Port Orange. Mr. Outterson said that re-districting could be done by political identification or by population but he believes political re-districting is the better choice and Sample 1 best serves this purpose.
Mr. Roy Schleicher said that staff did an excellent job with the computer mapping. He said that adoption of goals was the most significant action taken by the Redistricting Committee and that he hopes the Committee will stay close to those goals. He said that he prefers Sample 1 but that Samples 1, 2 and 3 are all good choices.
Staff and Committee members remained available until 6:00 p.m.
