Dissatisfied two weeks ago with a pair of proposals to reform the city’s five voting districts, Statesboro city council members are expected to approve a new district map today. It would be the first step in completing the redistricting process mandated by population shifts revealed in the 2010 Census. Council, Mayor Joe Brannen and staff will gather in city hall’s second floor council chambers for a public hearing at 5 p.m. to discuss the city’s most recent design to reapportion populations throughout its voting districts.
