The nuts and bolts of redistricting Peoria’s City Council boundaries will begin in January, with a new set of boundaries planned for the 2018 council election.
The city hired the consultant Research Advisory Services for an amount not to exceed $70,642.
The firm will work with council and the public on the redistricting process.
Their municipal clients include Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale and Flagstaff.
The City Council is scheduled to approve specific redistricting criteria in January and the first set of public outreach is set to begin shortly after.
