Burghdorff said the goal is to provide bebest opportunities to elect Council members who reflect Fort Worth's growing and diverse population. She mentioned that the City wants to include greater public participation and transparency in the process and encouraged members to attend meetings, and go online to learn more.  Find more information at the  Redistricting  link and see the entire presentation.
