The Council Districts are based on voting precincts and census tract data, thus the boundaries change over time. Each council district has a corresponding councilmember. One councilmember is elected by the Metropolitan Council to serve as Mayor Pro Tem. This body is the legislative authority for the City-Parish. The Plan of Government, which created the council, was adopted in 1947 by referrendum and went into effect in 1949. This dataset conveys the best currently (2004) available representation of the Metropolitan Council Districts of EBR Parish. Purpose: The Metropolitan Council District dataset defines the boundaries of each of the council districts for governing and voting purposes. This dataset provides a representation of Parish polygons for the purposes of portraying attributes for each of the council districts within the Parish. Supplemental_Information: These metadata describe the dataset 'council districts', which is how the dataset was named on the East Baton Rouge Parishwide GIS. Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 2004 Currentness_Reference: The currentness of the Metropolitan Council District boundaries is based on voting precinct information drawn from census information as of 2000 U. S. Census Bureau.
