City Council Set to Approve New Districts with Few Changes (June 11, 2011) The Charlotte City Council has an item on its June 13 agenda to update the districts used to elect the seven district representatives on the Council. Redistricting is necessary to reflect new 2010 census population counts and also to add areas that Charlotte will annex July 1 into city council districts. All of the area of Steele Creek that is within the Charlotte city limits is in City Council District 3. This district also includes areas in West Charlotte and generally is bounded by Freedom Drive in the north, South Boulevard in the east, and the Charlotte city limits on the west and south. The map attached to the City Council agenda shows one precinct at the north edge of the district shifting from District 2 to District 3 and the area in the Whitehall and Beam Road areas that will be annexed July 1 also added to District 3. The current District 3 representative is Warren Turner. The next election for Charlotte mayor and all City Council representatives is this November. Candidate filing begins July 25.
