  • After every decennial census and prior to the next ensuing general election, the council shall prepare a plan for the reapportionment of the five districts to insure division into contiguous territory as nearly equal in population as practicable. The council shall review and adopt the reapportionment plan as an ordinance by a two-thirds vote of the full council. If the council is unable to complete the reapportionment of the council districts within six months after the official publication of the census, the county attorney upon authorization of the council or petition of twenty-five electors of the county shall petition the circuit court having jurisdiction in the county to make such reapportionment.
