Stat. 153A-22 provides that when <br />such inequality of population among electoral districts exists, that <br />the Board of Commissioners may by resolution redefine the electoral <br />districts; and <br />WHEREAS, a public hearing has been held on this date, after ten <br />(10) days notice was given; and <br />WHEREAS, in keeping with the doctrine of one person-one vote, <br />the Board of Commissioners feels that it is necessary to redefine the <br />electoral districts; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Lee County Board of <br />Commissioners as follows: <br />Section 1: That Section 3 of the Resolution altering the <br />structure of the Board adopted on June 26, 1989, is amended by <br />deleting the present provisions and inserting in lieu thereof the <br />following: <br />3. Maps showing the boundaries of the four (4) <br />single-member districts are available for public inspection <br />at the office of the Clerk to the Board.
