Placer County Board of Supervisors’ final public hearing prior to approving a final redistricting map for the county is Oct. 11.

Public comments on the proposed final map will be taken at 10am during the regularly scheduled board meeting which begins at 9am.

As required by state law, the board members are realigning district boundaries to reflect population changes reported in the 2010 census.

The current 5th Supervisorial District, which includes the mountainous sections of Placer County, North Lake Tahoe, and areas north of Bell Road in the Auburn area has grown more slowly than the other four districts and in some areas, had decreased population. To bring the District 5 population into parity, the Auburn is being moved to the 5th District from the 3rd District. Additionally, the cities of Lincoln, Roseville and Rocklin have experienced extensive growth in the last 10 years, while Loomis and Auburn have had limited growth, creating the need for other boundary line adjustments.

The Board of Supervisors meeting is at the County Administrative Center, 175 Fulweiler Ave., Auburn.

Maps and additional information about redistricting are available on the Placer County website or by calling (530) 889.4010.
