WHEREAS, placing said four properties back into District 1 will not cause any significant
deviation in the population of the remaining four districts; and
WHEREAS, not only will placing said four properties back into District 1 restore to the
community its previous integrity without the artificial split caused by Resolution No. R-23-0271,
