Last evening, the Municipal Council adopted new council district boundaries, which will take effect in January. After much deliberation, consideration and public input, the Council settled on a map which makes some significant changes. One of their key policy decisions early on was to create a district which focused on better representing residents west of I-15. The new map does that, making it much more likely that the Council will always have a west side resident as a member. But because of other constraints in the redistricting process, the map ended up putting both Councilor Handley's and Councilor Ellsworth's residences in the new district 2. The former district 3 which Councilor Ellsworth represents crossed I-15 in the southern part of the city, so for 2023, she will represent a district where she doesn't live, but also an area that she has represented well since coming on to the Council two years ago. It also means that she cannot run for re-election to her district seat in 2023.

Great music, a fun choreography compilation, and favorite move scenes makes for an entertaining and energetic video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
