#0099 An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 2 of the City Code to Require that Incarcerated
City Residents be Counted at Their Last Known Residences Before Incarceration
for Redistricting Purposes (1st & 2nd Reading)
Synopsis: This Ordinance is being presented by the City Council for Council’s review and

regarding the census 2000 complete count committee because it is obsolete.
