Special City Commission Meeting - November 9, 2021 at 5:30 PM
Analysis of Current Commission Districts
The City of Cooper City has entered into an agreement with Florida Atlantic University's John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government to analyze the City's current districts and potentially prepare redistricting plans.
The purpose of the November 9 Special City Commission Meeting is to evaluate the current Commission Districts based on 2020 Census data and provide a report to the City Commission.
This meeting will also provide the public with an opportunity to share input and opinions.
FAU's team will participate in this public meeting to discuss the analysis of current districts and next steps.
If redistricting is deemed necessary, the FAU team will create redistricting options and present those options at a later meeting.
