>> legally mandated expansion of the Wards with lowest current population
>> (Wards 7&8) are the key driving factors in the reapportionment.
>>
>> Close to home, the sub-committee report recommends the transfer of most
>> of the Navy Yard area from Ward 6 to Ward 8. It also proposes major changes
>> in the borders of ANC6B, transferring the area between 15th St SE and the
>> Sousa bridge (as well as some other areas) to Ward 7, resulting in ward
>> changes for all or part of six of the ten single member districts (SMDs)
>> within ANC6B. Specifically:
>>
>>    - Two of ANC6B's ten SMDs  (6B09 and 6B10)  will be transferred
>>    entirely to Ward 7.
>>    - Portions of SMDs  6B04,  6B06,6b07 and 6B08 will be split with
>>    portions redistricted to Ward 7 and portions remaining with Ward 6 and with
>>    ANC6B.
>>    - In 6B06 and 6B07, the homes of the currently serving Commissioners
>>    are situated in the portions of their SMDs which will be transferred to
>>    Ward 7.
>>
>>   I am attaching a map, kindly prepared by a colleague, Mr. Gottlieb
>> Simon, who recently retired after 20 years heading the DC Office for ANCs
>> which backstops individual ANCs across the city. The map shows, in clear
>> terms, the relationship between the current boundaries of ANC6B and

>>
>> Two notes in closing. First, *while the changes to ANC6B as a whole are
>> far reaching, the current boundaries of our single member district, 6B05,
>> remain, as of yet, unchanged.* Second, following the DC Council's
>> approval of Ward level boundary changes in December, there will be a
>> secondary redistricting exercise with each of the 8 Wards which will review
>> the boundaries of ANCs in the newly-amended wards as well as the boundaries
>> of ANC single member district constitutencies. In Ward 6, Councilmember
>> Allen will appoint a committee in December to lead the process of coming up
>> with recommendations on Ward 6 ANC & SMD boundaries. That process will
>> begin early next year and culminate in a vote by City Council in June 2022.

>> *Note: A "Special Call" Meeting is a meeting convened outside the normal

>> commissioners for the meeting to take place. In this case, Commissioners
>> Corey Holman (6b06), Alison Horn (6B09) and Edward Ryder (6B07) made this

>> are most directly changed through the proposed reapportionment. Convening
>> of a  properly noticed "Special Call" meeting allows the ANC to legally
>> take positions and support resolutions outside of its normal framework of
>> meeting. "Notice" requires posting of the meeting in 3 public places, (in
>> this case, the ANC6B website, the Hill Rag and Capitol Hill Corner on
>> 11/24)  one week before the proposed meeting.*
