SECTION 8. WARD BOUNDARIES.

   The Council of Mayfield Village shall adjust ward boundaries within one year after receipt of certification of the results of the decennial census and may, from time-to-time, adjust ward boundaries if population shifts merit the change, but all such changes shall be made in such fashion as to provide substantially equal population in each of the wards. All wards shall be bounded, as far as practicable, by county lines, streets, alleys, lot lines, avenues, public grounds, canals, water courses, municipal corporation lines, and center lines of platted streets and shall be composed of adjacent and compact territory delineated by straight lines and right angles. (Amended 11-3-81.)
