Redistricting Board Formally Adopts New Proclamation Plan and Backup Plan

I'll try to get back here and write up a summary, but I fooled around too long and now I don't have enough time.  Basically the adopted the plan they approved Saturday, which the staff cleaned up and prepared the metes and bounds for.  They also approved a back up plan - one that is basically the previous plan with the Fairbanks districts 1 and 2 adjusted to be constitutional.

All the documentation is up on line (well, not all, individual district maps are coming soon) so you can look there.  Below are my rough notes from today's meeting.

From the board's website:

REPORTS AND DATA

- Amended Proclamation of Redistricting

- Description of Amended Proclamation House and Senate Districts

- Board Adopted Findings

- Population Analysis

- Senate Terms

- GIS Files

MAPS

- Amended Proclamation Statewide Map

- Amended Proclamation Anchorage Map

- Amended Proclamation Mat-Su Map

- Amended Proclamation Fairbanks Map
- Amended Proclamation Kenai Map
- Amended Proclamation Southeast Map
- Interim Statewide Map
- Interim Fairbanks Map

Remember, the notes below are very rough.  There's a long gap where the attorney, Michael White goes over the time line.  There's a gap because I videotaped that and I'll put it up when I get it done.  Sorry it's not ready now.  And there are still some loose ends, but I think they come out in the notes below.
