As the new Austin voting districts are determined for 10-1, Wooten could share a district either with neighborhoods mostly to the north to become a Hispanic Opportunity District, or with other North Central neighborhoods that border Burnet Road. Each option has advantages for us.
Time is running out to voice a consolidated opinion to the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC), so WNA President Chris Gregory has called a special meeting to discuss the options, show proposed districting maps, and enable eligible WNA members* to vote on whether to support a resolution that would group us with our Burnet Road neighbors, as well as whether to support a draft of a map that would put us in District 7.
Monday, October 28
7-8pm
Redeemer Lutheran library, 1500 West Anderson Lane
(Enter the gate at the south side of the building that faces the Burrell-side parking lot. The library is the first door on the left inside the gate.)
Past President Seaufy Peg Frey wrote this explanation for the last newsletter:
