COMMUNICATIONS WITH AND REPORTS OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE  
Dan Tarwater III, County Legislator, asked Frank White, Jr., County  
Executive, about the Reapportionment Committee's new district maps. Jay  
Haden, Chief Deputy County Counselor, said the Reapportionment  
Committee maps were not completed in time to be used for this election  
cycle. The maps will be effective for the 2026 primary election. The  
Reapportionment Committee's report is on file with the Clerk of the County  
Legislature. Mary Jo Spino, Clerk of the County Legislature, said the  
maps on file do not include details such as streets. Caleb Clifford, Chief  
of Staff, said Information Technology Department staff are working on the  
detailed maps. Ronald E. Finley, County Legislator, asked if the  
Reapportionment Committee's maps need Legislative approval. Mr.  
Haden said they do not need Legislative approval. Mr. Haden said the  
maps can be litigated but there are no statutory procedures to litigate.  
Tony Miller, County Legislator, said there is no administrative hearing  
process to contest the Reapportionment Committee's maps. Mr. Haden  
agreed. Jalen Anderson, County Legislator, asked about Bobby  
Hernandez's missing signature on the report. Caleb Clifford said Mr.  
Hernandez attended the final Reapportionment Committee meeting via  
Zoom. He voted to approve the maps but was not available in person to  
sign the report.
