Mr. Buster Deloney, president of the Lincoln Parish Police Jury, called the meeting to order and following the invocation, Mr. Richard Durrett called on Mr. Ken Selle, demographer with Tri-S, to give the report from the Reapportionment Committee meeting held on Friday, February 21, 1992.

Mr. Selle indicated that as a result of conferences, work with lawyers and reviewers, the following changes were made to our submitted reapportionment plan.  In District 1-D, about 400 people were moved out of that district and into District 1-C, thus necessitating shifting some of that population east of Highway 33 into District I-B.  The final adjustment was moving some people from District 1-B to 1-A.  He indicated that everything else in the plan will remain the same.  The changes to be submitted will be primarily numerical.

Following Mr. Selle's presentation and a unanimous vote by the Police Jury to endorse the amended plan, the School Board, upon a motion by Dr. Marty Beasley, seconded by Mr. Jim Kessler, voted 12-0, by a roll call vote to accept the plan as presented.

There being no further business, the joint meeting was adjourned at 6:40 p.m.

Gerald W. Cobb, Secretary                   Philip F. Rice, President
