I'd like to thank President Jones, all the Council members, including my co-sponsor, if you will, Councilwoman Hemann and Councilman Limpert for spending the time to work on this process and to make one of the better maps I think we could have made and the best map we could have made in my opinion. Thank you. Councilwoman Hemann voted yes with comment. I would like to thank everyone also for their work that they put into this. It was a laborious task and Mr. Brossard and Mr. Limpert having meetings with some other folks and then also Mr. Glassburn. I would like to state that I believe that this map has the cleanest, most definitive lines and easiest as identifiable for where a resident, sits with, who their representative is and what ward they are actually will be assigned to for their representation and voting places. Thank you. Councilman Brossard voted yes with comment. My comments are along the lines of my previous colleague comments, but specifically, I wanted to thank Councilman Limpert. He really poured his heart and soul into this project. As Councilwoman Hemann mentioned the two of us met with the company that had helped us along the way and at the end of the day, we did come up with three very very good maps. I just felt like this one gives us our best opportunity to better increase the level of service to our residents and for me that was the deciding factor. My vote is yes.
