City of Austin Considering Changes to City Council Districting Scheme

Currently, all city council members are elected "at large", meaning that they represent the entire city of Austin. The city has formed a Charter Revision Committee that's studying the possibility of electing some or all council members from geographically specific districts, referred to as "single-member districts".

As part of the evaluation process, the city is asking for feedback from Austin residents. You can go to http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/charter/ for more information and to complete a survey. If you're unhappy with the level of attention we receive from the city, this process may present an opportunity for you to increase our visibility in Austin's governing processes.

As always, feel free to contact your board if you have questions or comments.
