  The board of county commissioners in each of the following counties must designate a county commissioner district redistricting commission, and are encouraged to convene an independent county commissioner district redistricting commission, in order to adopt a plan to divide the relevant county into as many districts as there are county commissioners elected by voters of their district:   Counties that have any number of their county commissioners not elected by the voters of the whole county;    Counties that have any number of their county commissioners not elected by the voters of the whole county that change the number of county commissioners in the county; and    Counties that have all of their county commissioners elected by the voters of the whole county that then elect to have any number of their county commissioners not elected by the voters of the whole county.       In appointing members to an independent commission, a board of county commissioners is encouraged to:   Appoint persons who accurately reflect the political affiliations of the residents of the county, including unaffiliated residents;    Appoint persons who accurately reflect the county's racial, ethnic, gender, and geographic diversity; and    Avoid conflicts of interest based on partisan alignments.       The board of county commissioners in a county described by subsection (1) of this section may not revise or alter county commissioner districts, beyond making de minimis revisions or alterations, unless the board of county commissioners makes such revisions or alterations during a redistricting year in accordance with a final redistricting plan pursuant to section 30-10-306.4.
