Attachment B – Public Feedback <br />14.Keep it simple, don't make it contumacious, and don't make there have to be a new election due to <br /> <br />potential changes in councilors or commissioners. Make it really, really, streamlined; Eugene can handle <br />anything more dramatic. <br />15.I am open to and favor a city-wide election for either every council seat; or, a 4 seat city wide election <br /> <br />and 4 wards elected for a term of six years each. <br />16.Major roads, school districts, and potentially neighborhood associations would offer some guidance. <br /> <br />Using perceived interests, socio-demographic info, etc. seems like a dangerous path to take. <br />17.I thought there was software that would draw boundaries to ensure that wards are of equal size. Seems <br /> <br />like a good starting place. Would not like to see gerrymandering. <br />18.Keeping communities of interest together, where possible, but without creating wildly zig-zagging <br /> <br />boundary lines <br />19.Keeping wards in tact because of present elected officials should not be a consideration. <br /> <br />20.Wards need to have as even of a mix as possible of socio-economic populations. Diversity is very <br /> <br />important. Specifically, one of the slowest growing areas in town (Ward 2) which also tends to coincide <br />with the Southeast Neighbors has not had a new Councilor or Neighborhood Association President in my <br />adult life (I am not very young). This is a strong sign of a mono-culture that needs to be more diverse. <br />5 <br /> <br />
