that congressional boundaries drawn in 1992 by the State Court Plan should be
used for the next congressional election in 1994. In order to accommodate the
new boundary between Congress District 3 and 5, certain precinct boundaries need
to be adjusted. The proposed precinct boundaries include several minor
adjustments to more evenly distribute population counts in the affected
precincts.
Clerk Daehn explained that following
Clerk Daehn presented a precinct map showing the proposed precinct boundaries and
explained the reasons for the revisions.
Hennepin County and the Secretary of State's office have reviewed these proposed
precinct boundary changes and concur that they comply with the legislative and
congressional districts as now determined. If approved by the Council, affected
voters would be notified prior to the precinct caucuses scheduled for March I,
1994. Additionally, voters in the new Precinct 17 would vote at the newly

Over the past few years, the State of Minnesota has been promoting and funding

year 1994 to create a plan for integrated services for families and children in
South Hennepin and this will be the thrust of SHeRPA's work activities for the
upcoming year. The effort is a collaboration among the service providers,
schools, families, municipalities, Hennepin County and businesses in South
Hennepin .

Ms. Massey said additional on-going activities are outlined in the work plan and
SHeRPA staff will be on the road presenting the information received from the
providers and continuing to conduct citizen participation activities.

are some additional things that should be considered. Ms. Massey observed that

issues of cultural differences on a broader base. Member Kelly said she would
