Franklin County Fiscal Court amends reapportionment ordinance on first reading

The Franklin County Fiscal Court amended the first reading of an ordinance to reapportion magisterial districts during its July 19, 2023 meeting.

The amendment adjusted the 3rd District population total to 8,496 to match the proposed map and moved four houses from the 5th District into the 1st District on the map. The change was entered during the first reading; the transcript does not record a final adoption vote.

Judge Michael Mueller presided over the session. The ordinance was presented and amended as described on the record; no additional debate or public comment on the item is recorded in the meeting transcript.

Because this action occurred at first reading, further consideration or formal adoption would be required before the reapportionment takes legal effect.
