Rick Monroe Special to the Village News Directors of the Fallbrook Regional Health District approved the "tan map" option for redistricting at the March 9 board meeting. A variation suggested at a March 5 public hearing was considered, but demographers showed it wouldn't work because the population in one of the five sub-districts would be greater than the 10% difference allowed, based on the 2020 census. The board is governed by directors elected from five geographic areas wi...
