The new ordinance establishes a nine person Districting Process Advisory Committee to oversee the public process, educate the public, assist the City Clerk, and advise City Council on the districting process. The Advisory Committee will hold public meetings in each of the six council districts to solicit public input, and will prepare a Preliminary Advisory Committee Report that summarizes the public input and makes a preliminary recommendation of election district boundaries. The Report will be presented to the public, the City Clerk and to City Council. By City Charter, the districting map must be drawn by the City Clerk, and there is an additional public hearing and protest process after the Clerk has released the Preliminary map.<\/p><p>Die bisherige Verordnung zur Einteilung der Bezirke sah nur eine \u00f6ffentliche Anh\u00f6rung vor, und zwar erst, nachdem der Gemeindeschreiber eine vorl\u00e4ufige Karte erstellt hatte. Obwohl zwei Gemeindegruppen alternative Karten vorlegten, die ihrer Ansicht nach die Interessen der Gemeinden besser ber\u00fccksichtigten und die identifizierten Stadtteile zusammenhielten, bot die alte Verordnung weder ein Verfahren noch die M\u00f6glichkeit f\u00fcr eine solche Beteiligung.<\/p><p>City Council and the community saw the need for much more public involvement. An ad hoc committee of community activists worked with City Council and its staff, the Clerk, and the City Attorney's Office to develop the new ordinance. This ad hoc committee included myself, Colorado Springs resident and Colorado Common Cause Board Member Gary Fornander, and representatives from local community organizations including Council of Neighbors and Organizations, the Black\/Latino Alliance, The Diversity Forum, and Citizens Project. The ad hoc committee held four public community meetings to gather input into the revision of the ordinance, and those meetings were also sponsored by the Colorado Springs Rising Professionals and The League of Women Voters of the Pikes Peak Region.<\/p><p>This was one of those times\"&lsquo;and there really are quite a few of them\"&lsquo;when representative government worked as it is intended. An important part of our electoral process needed to be improved. City Council, city staff and local citizens and organizations came together in four quick months to achieve just that.<\/p><p><blockquote><\/p><p><p style=\"text-align: left\">\"But responsible social participation, with an enlightened citizenry<\/p><p>die mit moralischer und intellektueller Komplexit\u00e4t umgehen kann, kommt nicht<\/p><p>etwa nur aus Ermahnung.
