Staffs analyze the maps to identify logical boundaries, or alternative boundaries. City staffs report to their councils, who may preliminarily endorse a MUGA boundary. Residents, businesses, and property owners in the unincorporated areas speak out. Each city grouping determines its own citizen participation method. Staffs synthesize the findings, strive for consensus, and write a rationale for each boundary segment.
Staffs present the results at open houses.
Staffs report to their councils. If consensus exists, joint resolutions are prepared for each city grouping. If not, council meet jointly to resolve conflicts.
