MONROE - A Green County public forum on a tentative redistricting plan originally scheduled for Tuesday, April 19 has been postponed, according to County Clerk Michael Doyle.

Doyle said the meeting is postponed to accommodate the possibility of an election recount.

State officials have informed Doyle to keep the county's schedule clear from April 15 through April 21 in the event of a statewide recount.

The public forum will be rescheduled, Doyle said.

The Green County Reapportioning Committee discussed an initial 2011 redistricting plan, and to involve municipalities to create a plan to be adopted by the county board May 10.

Doyle said one of the redistricting goals is to create compact districts that follow municipality boundaries as closely as possible to make the municipal clerks' jobs easier.
