Ravenna prepares new ward boundaries for 1st time since 1972

For the first time in more than 50 years, Ravenna residents may have to consult a map to find out who represents them on City Council. The city, which has had the same ward boundaries since 1972, is redrawing the four districts to get a better balance of residents in each. The process began in March, when a national consultant told Ravenna City Council its ward boundaries were out of balance. The new lines are to be official by the end of December, in time for 2027 municipal elections that will include council representatives for two of the wards. A public hearing will take place Nov. 23 to consider the new map. Council, which approved a first reading of an ordinance approving the new map, will conduct a special meeting after the public hearing, with another reading expected Dec. 7. The ordinance will be voted on as emergency legislation to get around the 30-day waiting period normally required, said Carmen Laudato, the at-large council member who has been leading the redistricting effort. "If people are going to be running for council, they'll want to make sure that the wards they would serve are the wards they actually live in," Laudato
