| The Coconino County Board of Supervisors completed theredistricting process for the County by adopting the Scenario Fmap during its April 12 meeting.
The process of adopting a map began in Fall 2021. The Board has a statutory responsibility to reapportion county supervisory districts even 10 years under state law.
The districts must be redrawn so that each is substantially equal in population. The Board adopted map Scenario F from five proposed draft maps submitted for public comment in March. There were four virtual public input meetings and the public comment period was open until the vote on April 12.
After deliberation of each of the five draft maps under consideration, the Board of Supervisors adopted map Scenario F, noting it met the guidelines adopted by the Board and reflected the priorities and interests expressed during public input.
