3 <br />The City’s Charter makes the FAIR MAPS Act’s criteria inapplicable because Section 230 <br />of the City Charter requires the following: <br />·There be six Council districts, with one Councilmember from each district. <br />·Each district shall consist of geographically contiguous territory. <br />·Each district shall consist of geographically compact territory. <br />·Each district shall contain, as nearly as possible, equal numbers of residents. <br />·District boundaries shall approximate election precinct boundaries established by the <br />Alameda County Board of Supervisors. <br />·Any changes to the boundaries of Councilmember districts shall only be made by an <br />ordinance of the City Council. <br />·No change in district boundaries shall operate to disqualify an incumbent from office <br />before the expiration of the ter m for which such person was elected or appointed.
