The county clerk has presented a map of how Leavenworth County Commission districts can be redrawn if the commission is expanded to five members.
“I think it’s a fair map,” County Clerk Janet Klasinski said.
She presented the map to commissioners during a meeting Tuesday.
In November, voters in the county will determine if the commission should be expanded from three members to five.
A group called Give Me Five successfully collected the necessary signatures to have a question regarding the expansion of the County Commission placed on the ballot for the general election.
Last week, Commission Chairman Louis Klemp said he wanted to study parameters regarding the possible expansion of the commission. “There are different ways to draw and split the districts,” Klasinski said Tuesday.
But Klasinski said she would recommend the map that was being presented.
She said it ultimately would be up to commissioners to approve the new district boundaries if voters give the OK to a five-member commission.
The map presented during Tuesday’s meeting has not officially been approved. But commissioners reached a consensus to have it published on the county government’s website, www.leavenworthcounty.org, to show voters what the tentative map looks like.
