Previous Citv Council Action(s) On July 18, 2011, the City Council adopted the criteria, timeline and public outreach plan for the 2011 redistricting process. City Council Committee Review and Action At its May 26, 2011 meeting, the City Council Rules and Communication Committee reviewed the 2010 census data, and discussed the process, criteria and timeline for drawing the Council district boundaries. On June 23, the Committee discussed and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council to schedule adoption of a proposed redistricting timeline, criteria and community outreach plan. The Committee requested that, using the Council- approved criteria, staff create two draft district maps: one that reflected a less than 5% variance from the target population of 14,158, and one with a less than 2% variance. On July 25, 2011, the Committee reviewed the two draft district maps: one in which the variance was within ± 4 %, and the other with a variance within ±2 %. The Committee recommended the Council schedule review and discussion of the two draft district maps, and indicated preference for the 4% variance map. Summary of Public Outreach Efforts The dates of the two community redistricting meetings will be advertised on the City website, and in the City's community newsletter. The draft district map will be distributed to local groups and communities of interest, such as homeowners associations. Fiscal Impact The Council redistricting will be accomplished with current staff resources.
