Five plans were considered including four which were published by the County and one which was submitted by a member of the public.

Public comments provided included support for Plan #1 in which they expressed support for the compactness, they recognized the need for commissioners to be closer to the people they represent and noted that culture is Page 8 of 20 Board of Commissioners' Meeting Minutes April 26, 2022 more important than strict population as long as we are within the 10% and meet the legal requirements.

Plan #5, which was submitted by the public, was also supported because of the equal population factor. Supports favored this plan for the low and more evenly distributed population.
