Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

I respectfully request that your Honorable City Council consider and approve, as soon as possible, the proposed Ward and Precinct boundaries for the city of Somerville based on the 2020 Federal Census Results.

 

As per Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 54 section 1 (city wards), section 2 (city precincts), each city and town is required to establish Ward and Precinct lines every ten years, following the Federal Census.

 

Please find attached a verbal description and map of the proposed Ward and Precinct boundaries.

 

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

 

Respectfully,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
