Council District

This dataset represents the local legislative boundaries of the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council. The Council districts are determined by the Fayette County Board of Election's voting precinct boundaries and 2020 Census demographic data. Voting precincts are grouped together to create the districts. Updates are made by Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government ordinance approximately every 10 years as new Census data is released in an attempt for population equality in the districts. The districts in this dataset were defined during a series of public meetings held by a Redistricting Committee consisting of 15 appointed members (one community member appointed by each sitting Council Member) and assisted by Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government GIS, Council, and Planning staff as well as the Fayette County Board of Elections. The ordinance for the Council Districts in this dataset received second reading by the Urban County Council on December 7, 2021. This dataset is manually updated by the LFUCG GIS Office on ArcGIS Online to assure that the OBJECTIDs do not change, which could break the LFUCG website connections to the data. Care should also be taken to update the attachments rather than adding new attachments to assure that photo links used in the LFUCG webpage are not broken.本数据集涵盖列克星敦-费耶特城市县议会（Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council）的地方立法选区边界。该议会选区以费耶特县选举委员会（Fayette County Board of Elections）的投票分区边界与2020年人口普查人口统计数据为划定依据，经合并投票分区形成各议会选区。数据集通常约每十年伴随最新公布的人口普查数据，依据列克星敦-费耶特城市县政府（Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government，简称LFUCG）条例完成更新，以实现各选区人口规模均等。本数据集收录的选区，由15名任命委员组成的重划委员会（Redistricting Committee）经多场公开会议划定——每一位现任议会委员各任命一名社区代表担任委员，并由LFUCG地理信息系统（Geographic Information System, GIS）、议会及规划部门职员，以及费耶特县选举委员会提供协助。本数据集所依据的议会选区条例，已于2021年12月7日经城市县议会二读通过。本数据集由LFUCG地理信息系统办公室于ArcGIS Online平台进行手动更新，以确保OBJECTID（对象标识符）不会发生变更，若OBJECTID变更可能会破坏LFUCG官网与该数据集的连接。此外需注意，应直接更新原有附件而非新增附件，以确保LFUCG官网中使用的图片链接不会失效。
