7-8-12.3. Revision of county commission districts--Notice. The board of county commissioners may, within one hundred eighty days of receipt of such written order, redistrict the county's commission districts once to avoid any perceived or potential violation of state or federal law. The commissioners may change the boundaries of the commissioner districts in order that each district shall be as regular and compact in form as practicable and shall redistrict the county so that each commission district contains an appropriate number of residents, as determined by the last preceding federal decennial census; or the board of county commissioners may, at its discretion, choose to have all of its commissioners run at large. Such redistricting shall occur only after giving notice by publication for at least one week in the official newspapers of the county.
