The Jackson County Commission meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays in Court Room 1 at the Jackson County Courthouse. 1)Ms. Sheila Corneilson of the Jackson County Democratic Executive Committee requested the County Commission establish new district voting lines. Ms. Corneilson stated the District Lines are not clearly established and there is no map designating the specific areas of the lines. (There was a map posted in the Jackson County Commission Board Room with specific lines posted.) It was stated that the lines must be established to fairly divide the county population per district within a 5% margin. The U.S. Department of Justice must approve any District Change. The last change was in 1996. It was stated the district lines may be changed once within a 10 year census period. 2)Ms. Kym Chapman made presentation concerning needed reflective lines on county roads in the Skyline area.
