Commissioner Halkiotis said that it would not be as difficult for redistricting the next time they go through this because of the technology. Commissioner Gordon said that Commissioner Corey's proposal does correspond to what the residents were requesting. She said that when Representative Bill Faison introduced this in the legislature, the only difference from his proposal and the one they are proposing is minor. She said that proposal D has a map which she considers to be flawed because it strays so close to the 5°~ deviation (from the one person/one vote requirement) that would trigger redistricting. She believes that Chapel Hill Township will not pass this because of that flaw. She thinks Commissioner Corey's proposal has a chance to pass and that it matches the petition presented to the commissioners by the citizens who wanted district representation. A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Gordan to adopt the map that Commissioner Carey put forward with the seven-member Board, with four members from D1, two members from D2, and one at-large member with voting in the primary within the district (nominating district), and at-large voting in the general election. Chair Jacobs said that Commissioner Carey and Commissioner Gordon made the point that Commissioner Corey's proposal does not dilute the rural vote, but it does exactly that because it includes a large part of the rural buffer in the Chapel Hill district. He guarantees that the people who signed this petition did not think that the result of this was going to be to memorialize a majority in perpetuity for Chapel Hill. He cannot support this. VOTE: Ayes, 2 (Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Carey); Nays, 3 (Commissioner Halkiotis, Chair Jacobs, and Commissioner Foushee) MOTION FAILED A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to adopt the map far proposal D. Commissioner Foushee asked if the map from Commissioner Corey's proposal could be applied to the elements of proposal D. Geaf Gledhill said no. He said that if you use Commissioner Corey's map, you cannot have the same number of members in the different districts and at-large that are in proposal D because of the ane person, ane vote requirement. VOTE: Ayes, 3 (Commissioner Halkiotis, Chair Jacobs, and Commissioner Foushee}; Nays, 2 (Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Carey) MOTION CARRIED A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to approve proposal D, which has nominating districts in the primary election. This includes the transition processes. Commissioner Gordan said that she disagrees with Chair Jacobs on what the citizens wanted to memorialize, judging by the proposal put forth by Representative Faison. That proposal had four representatives from Chapel Hill Township, two representatives from the other six townships, and one at large. Commissioner Carey said that while Chair Jacobs indicates the rural buffer is rural, the area north of Chapel Hill is urbanizing at a phenomenal rate. Commissioner Gordon thinks that this could be a problem at the palls, because the proposal could be defeated an the basis of the flaw in the map rather than the question of whether the citizens want or da not want district representation. Commissioner Halkiotis said that they should not be talking like this and they need to move forward with this. He wants to be positive. VOTE: Ayes, 2 (Commissioner Halkiotis and Commissioner Foushee); Nays, 3 (Chair Jacobs, Commissioner Gordon, and Commissioner Carey) MOTION FAILED
