District Formation
In 2022, the City Council conducted four public hearings to receive community feedback on the proposed composition of districts. The first two public hearings gave the community an opportunity to provide input on the composition of the districts. Subsequently, draft district maps were drawn and two additional public hearings were held for the public to provide input regarding the content of the draft district maps and the proposed sequence of elections.
A professional demographer created proposed district boundaries to ensure that the proposed maps comply with California Voting Rights Act requirements and to consider the feedback received from the community during the public hearing process.
