Ward Boundary Commission - May 18, 2026

The City of Morgantown's Ward Boundary Commission held a meeting on May 18, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing and adjusting ward boundaries based on registered voter and population data. The commission discussed the use of ArcGIS mapping tools and sandbox applications to analyze various boundary proposals, aiming to balance registered voter counts within a 10-15% deviation threshold. They reviewed several computer-generated map runs, noting challenges with geographic continuity and neighborhood integrity. The commission agreed to continue refining maps individually using the sandbox tool and planned to schedule a public input session in early July. No contract awards, vendor selections, or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
