The County Legislature shall abide by state
law in ordering periodic evaluation of the population distribution
of the County on the basis of regular federal censuses, and in so
doing the Legislature shall appoint a bipartisan committee or commission
to carry out the evaluation of existing County districts.
Reapportionment shall be based on the concept
of one-person, one-vote and the legislative districts shall reflect
a "community of interest" among the population so districted. Said
"community of interest" shall be based on such factors as geographical
barriers, historical development and political subdivisions so that
the populace of Putnam County shall have equitable representation
in the County Legislature.
