Since then, I haven't received any updates on if Addison South will be included in District 2. Could an update be shared? Thank you, Persefoni On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 11:24 AM Ersy Karayiannis Hello, I'm reaching out because I'm extremely concerned with the new maps that have been proposed for the City of Austin. District 2 should include the community of my home, Addison South. The map that has been published does not include my street and community, but everything else in the surrounding area for district 2. Will this be changed? I am going to be paying property taxes to Travis county. I don't understand why Addison South was not included in District 2. Please advise. These are brand new homes that people invested in. By not allowing us to vote, you are silencing us. Otherwise, I will begin writing a petition and go door to door. This is absolutely unacceptable. This is the second election I cannot vote in since I moved into my new home. Can you imagine my surprise last time when I went to vote and they turned me away? wrote: 1 2 Thank you, Persefoni Karayiannis CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

It has come to our attention that a small section of Great Hills (along the west side of Rain Creek Parkway and cul‐de‐ sacs between Fire Oak and Lost Horizon) have been carved out from District 10 and moved to District 6. This includes our home. The great majority of Great Hills is and remains in District 10, while this small section of Great HIlls has been carved to now be a part of basically a Williamson county region. We do not agree with this proposed change. We also believe that the communication about these proposed changes was too limited. We believe that we should have received notification, through the mail, that our homes were in a "change" zone. We did not receive any such communication to our knowledge. We believe that this change does not make sense. While we realize that there are a lot of factors that go into redistricting ‐ and a certain balance is wanted between the color of people's skin, their political leanings, etc ‐ there is also the practical aspect about the neighborhood being represented as a whole, and interests of that geographic area, regardless of race or political leaning. We do not believe that our interests will be served by becoming a part of District 6 ‐ by the mere fact that the great majority of our neighborhood (Great Hills) is being represented in another district, of which we will have no say. Please consider moving this group of homes back to District 10 ‐ we ask you to prioritize what is best for the homeowners that have to live with these decisions. We left voice messages for Matt Dugan and Lisa Rodriguez ‐ and received a call back from Lisa Rodriguez. We would like more information about further …
