(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs City Clerk released the preliminary redistricting plan for the City Council set to be used for the next four years and will hold a public hearing at the end of October. According to the City, the city's charter requires the district map to be redrawn every four years to ensure the districts remain comparable in population as the City changes in population. The proposed preliminary map plans come after seven public meetings in September that gathered feedback from those living in the city. “The release of the preliminary City Council redistricting plan reflects our commitment to transparency and community engagement throughout this process,” said Johnson. “We encourage residents to review the plan, provide feedback, or attend the public meeting to learn more.” The proposed maps can be viewed on the City's website and it will hold a public hearing on the plan on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 3:30 p.m. at the City Administration Building Suite 102
