Madison County board member Chris Guy presented two redistricting maps with 29 and 27 districts for the board to review as alternatives to the 25-district map proposed by Chairman Kurt Prenzler.
“I think it’s in the board’s hands and the public to provide input to decide which direction to go,” Guy said at a Government Relations Committee meeting on May 19.
The meeting was held shortly before county board members rejected Prenzler’s map at a board meeting held that evening.
Guy thanked Prenzler for opening the door to the discussion, saying they would not be exploring the possibility of reduction “without you bringing it to the stage.” He added that they owe it to the taxpayers to discuss all options.

April referendums in four Rock County towns and one village would let ATV enthusiasts share rural roads with cars and trucks.
The goal is to eventually connect with a system of ATV road routes and off-road trails that is developing across the state, opening up new kinds of outdoor recreation and tourism spending, said Jason Knox of the Western Rock County ATV Club.
The Gazette could find no formal opposition, but concerns about safety and noise have been expressed locally and around the state.
The referendums, all advisory, will be on the April 6 ballot in Orfordville and the towns of Avon, Center, Plymouth and Union.
