AVENUE City Engineer Gilbertson (RKA Consulting Group) stated the STREET WIDENING PROJECT: centerline of Bradbury Road/Wild Rose Avenue is the jurisdictional boundary between Monrovia and Bradbury after an annexation was processed through LAFO in January 2018. The City of Bradbury desires to improve the segment of Bradbury Road/Wild Rose Avenue between Winding Oak Lane and the main entrance to the Bradbury Estates. This segment ofE Bradbury Road is a narrow curvilinear two-lane roadway with limited shoulder areas due to the presence of large hedges, severe slopes, mature trees, and a steep hillside. The current roadway width presents hazards and challenges to large moving trucks, horse trailers, and construction vehicles entering and exiting the Estates main gate. This situation has been exacerbated due to the prohibition of large vehicles using the narrow Wild Rose bridge in Monrovia westerly of the main entrance. The widening of the roadway will provide a safer means of access for all vehicles using the main Bradbury The existing curb-to-curb street width of approximately 23 feet will be increased to a proposed uniform curb-to-curb street width of 36 feet. Due to the steep slope along the Bradbury side of the street, this widening will require the construction of a large retaining wall (up to a maximum height of 13 feet) along There are seven (7). mature Oaks trees in conflict with a proposed roadway widening that will require removal as part of the project. In addition, a row of ten (10) Avocado trees and a large hedge in front of 302 Bradbury Road is in conflict with the proposed widening and will also require removal. In order to accommodate the additional roadway width, 1,919 square feet of property needed to be acquired from 150 Deodar Lane to be utilized as street right-of-way. The Easement Deed has been executed by the property owner and requires the City Council to formally accept the dedication prior to recordation City Engineer Gilbertson stated that the total project cost is anticipated to be $525,000. The City's available restricted funds inF FY 21/22 are $191,274. In FY 22/23 the City's available restricted funds will be $403,386. If the City Council elects to proceed with this project, Staff would finalize the plans and Estates entrance. the 150 Deodar Lane property frontage. TREE REMOVALS: EASEMENTS: with Los Angeles County. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: specifications this fiscal year. Minutes CC Meeting July 20,2021 Page2of6 The questions remains about when construction should start with the restricted funding shortfall. The City Council may elect to use general funds to cover the remaining amount ($233,726) this fiscal year or to proceed with the project in FY: 2022/23 by utilizing general funds to cover a smaller shortfall ($121,614). The City Council may also elect to try and wait another year or two until additional restricted funding becomes available; however, staff will need to check on the audit requirements for Itis recommended that the City Council 1) accept the Easement Deed for public road purposes for 150 Deodar Lane (APN 8527-026-025) and 2) authorize staff to proceed with the preparation of final plans and documents for the widening of Bradbury Road/Wild Rose Avenue between Winding Oak Lane to the main entrance to the Bradbury Estates. City Manager Kearney recommended that the City Council move forward with the project. Councilmember Barakat agreed that it would be best to move forward and asked if the City could pay itself back. Councilmember Lewis suggested to get the plans done now and revisit the project next fiscal year, when more restricted Councilmember Hale made a motion to accept the Easement Deed for public road purposes for 150 Deodar Lane and authorize staff to proceed with the preparation of final plans and documents for the widening of Bradbury Road/Wild Rose Avenue between Winding Oak Lane to the main entrance to the Bradbury Estates.

RECOMMENDATION: DISCUSSION: funds will be available. MOTION: APPROVED: NOES: None ABSENT: None Motion passed 5:0 DISCUSSION ON REDISTRICTING: City Manager Kearney stated that while the process of redistricting may seem simple for a small city like Bradbury, the overall process is guided by a myriad of State and Federal laws and regulations. This includes Elections Code S 21000 & 21600, the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, AB 849 and AB 1276 (Fair Maps Act), and SB 443, among others. Reliance on City Staff to conduct and certify a redistricting process that meets all laws and regulations could lead to pitfalls and future potential challenges, as opposed to certification from a specialized demographer who understands the legalities of such a process. Minutes CC Meeting July 20, 2021 Page3 3of6 ANALYSIS: Every ten (10) years, local governments use new census data to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed.

This process ensure that each City Councilmember represents To the extent practicable, district lines shall be adopted using about the same number of constituents. the following criteria: (1) Geographically contiguous districts; minimizes its division; manner that minimizes its division; artificial barriers; and apolitical party. (2) The geographic integrity of local neighborhoods or communities shall be respected in a manner that (3) Geographic integrity of a city shall be respected in a (4) Easily identifiable boundaries that follow natural or (5) Lines shall be drawn to encourage geographic compactness. In addition, boundaries shall not be drawn to purposes of favoring or discriminating against The timeline for redistricting is based on a municipality's election cycle. Since Bradbury's next General Municipal Election is on June 7, 2022, the deadline to complete the City Manager Kearney stated that normally the U.S. Census Data would be available in March/April; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is estimated that the data will be released by September 30th. Despite the fact that the release of the U.S. Census data has been delayed, it is still expected that municipalities get started on the redistricting process to meet Itis recommended that the City Council direct Staff to release an RFP to solicit services for a demographer to perform Bradbury's redistricting. It is expected that Staff will return with ar recommended Award of Bid at the next City Council meeting Councilmember Lewis asked what has changed since the last U.S. Census 10 years ago. City Manager Kearney replied that he did not know since this is his first redistricting. Councilmember Hale stated that no one is going to show up for the community meetings/workshops. Councimember Hale also stated that the City has to send out an RFP to find out how much it actually costs to hire a consultant. The City Council budgeted $15,000 for Redistricting but it will probably cost al lot TIMELINE: redistricting is December 15, 2021. CENSUS DATA: the December 15, 2021 deadline.

Proposal: Bear Demographics & Research 2. Rose Institute PPT: "Local Redistricting in California in 2021: The Same...But Different." 3. Local Government Redistricting Toolkit SUMMARY During the July meeting, the City Council authorized Staff to release an RFP for redistricting services. The RFP yielded one response, from Bear Demographic & Research ("Bear"), in the amount of $70,000. After some discussion with Staff, Bear Iti is recommended that the City Council approve the expenditure of up to $50,000 for redistricting services, and direct the City Manager and City Attorney to draft and enter reduced the proposed price to $50,000 (Attachment #1). into a contract with Bear Demographics & Research. ANALYSIS Every ten years, local governments use new census data to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. Assembly Bill No. 849, adopted in 2019, requires cities to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings and/or workshops and doing public outreach, including to non-English- Districts must be redrawn every ten years SO that each district is substantially equal in population. This process ensures that each city counciimember represents about the speaking areas/communties. same number of constituents. FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA 8-17 AGENDA ITEM # 2 Discussion on Redistricting Services Page 20 of2 To the extent practicable, district lines shall be adopted using the following criteria: (1) geographically contiguous districts (each city council district should share a common boarder with the next), (2) the geographic integrity of local neighborhoods or communities shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division, (3) geographic integrity of a city shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division, (4) easily identifiable boundaries that follow natural or artificial barriers, and (5) lines shall be drawn to encourage geographic compactness. In addition, boundaries shall not be drawn for purposes of favoring or discriminating against a political party. While the process of redistricting may seem simple for a small city like Bradbury, the overall process is guided by a myriad of State and Federal laws and regulations. This includes Elections Code S 21000 & 21600, Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, AB 8498 & AB 1276 (Fair Maps Act), SB 443, among others. Reliance on City Staff to conduct and certify a redistricting process that meets all laws and regulations could lead to pitfalls and future potential challenges, as opposed to certification from a specialized The timeline for redistricting is based on a municipality's election cycle. Since Bradbury's next election is on June 7, 2022, the deadline to complete the redistricting is December 15, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused some delays though. Normally, the U.S. Census data would be available for cities in March/April; however, it ise estimated that the data may not be released until September 30th. While the U.S. Census has experienced delays, it is still expected that municipalities continue working toward redistricting by the applicable deadline, even while awaiting U.S. Census data. demographer that understands the legalities of such a process. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS The last redistricting in Bradbury was completed in 2010/2011. Although tracing final costs is difficult to determine, $50,000 was originally budgeted for such services. The City has budgeted $15,000 this Fiscal Year for redistricting. Bear's original proposal was for $70,000.

Stein, now with California Common Cause, and the ACLUof California for allowing AAAJ-ALC: to adapt some content in this toolkit from their materials. 1 The Importance of Local Redistricting Redistricting, or the redrawing of district lines, isa once-in-a-decade opportunity to ensure a fair democratic process at the local level. Redistricting helps determine whether communities have a voice in city and county governments and directly impacts the pipeline for future leaders at the state and federal level. To ensure that communities are meaningfully represented by their local governments and that elected officials reflect the full diversity of California's population, it is crucial that local governments create a redistricting process that is as fair, transparent, and accessible as possible, especially for stonalyunoerepreened communities. AB 849 (Bonta), known as the FAIR MAPS Act, passed in 2019 to improve and standardize the local redistricting process and incorporate best practices that California already uses for redistricting at the state level.1 Local governments now have clearer guidelines around the drawing of district maps to ensure fairness and prohibit partisan gerrymandering. The FAIR MAPS Act also created public outreach and transparency requirements to ensure that all communities know about and can directly shape the drawing of their city or county's district When local governments invest time, attention, and resources into a comprehensive and accessible redistricting process, much is possible: elected officials better understand the needs and makeup of their constituents, communities deepen their trust in local government and become more invested in public decision-making processes, and all residents have the opportunity to feel represented ati the local level. This is the power of local redistricting. lines. Legal Requirements When Drawing District Maps Federal and state law provide clear guidelines for how local governments draw their district lines. When drawing district lines, local governments must comply with the requirements established by the United States Constitution, the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, and now the FAIR MAPS Act.2 1AB: 1276 (Bonta) passed in 2020 and made technical fixes to AB 849, including clarifying changes and updates to the redistricting timeline to leave adequate time for the elections process andt to accommodate possible delaysi in the delivery of census data. This Toolkit has been updated to reflect changes to the law made by AB: 1276. 2Cal. Elec. Code 55 21500, 21601,21621. 2 Federal Requirements Substantial Equality of Population In a series of court cases ini the 1960s, the Supreme Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment oft the United States Constitution requires that all districts within a political jurisdiction have The Supreme Court requires substantial equality of population because drawing districts of exactly equal populations is difficult and often at odds with the other goals of a line-drawing body. Drawing district lines that keep communities ofi interest intact, that reflect public testimony, and that are reasonably contiguous and compact may result in districts that have How much deviation in population is allowed between districts? The Supreme Court has stated that deviation of up to 10 percent is only a minor deviation and is not enough to showa violation oft the Fourteenth. Amendment.41 Maps with population deviations above 10 percent Note that the appropriate measure of population when considering substantial equality of population is total population, not alternative measures like the number of voters or the citizen voting-age population (CVAP).61 This reflects the principle that a city council represents all ofa "substantial equality of population."3 slightly different populations. can bej justified onlyi in limited circumstances." city'sresidents, not merely those who are eligible to vote. Reynolds V. Sims, 377L U.S. 533, 579( (1964); see also Gray V. Sanders, 372 U.S. 368 (1963). Please notet thatt this section describes the standards for non-Congressional districts, such as city and county districts. Ther requirement isr more: stringent for Congressional districts. See Kirkpatrick V. Preisler, 394 U.S. 526, 528 (1969). 4White V. Regester, 412 U.S.755, 764 (1973)("TW)e do not consider relatively minor population deviations among state legislative districts to substantially dilutei the weight ofi individual votesi ini thel larger districts so as to deprive individuals int these districts oft fair and effective representation. we cannot glean an equal protection violation fromi the singlet fact that twol legislative districts in Texas differ from one another by as much as 9.9%"). See e.g., Mahan V. Howell, 410 U.S. 315, 325 (1973) (affirming population deviation of 16.4 percent because deviation was "based on legitimate considerations incident to the effectuation ofa rational state policy"). 6The Supreme Court decided in Evenwel V. Abbott, 578 US_ - 136S.Ct.1120 (2016), that the' "one person, one vote" principle of the Equal Protection Clause allows as state or locality to designi its districts based ont total population. Observers read thel language of the decision as discouragingi the use of other metrics, but the Court did not rule out the use of other metrics. Wel know of nol locality in California that has used any metric other than total population. 3 Requirements of the Federal Voting Rights Act of1965 The federal Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 19657 stands for the idea that every voter should have a chance to cast a meaningful ballot. To achieve this goal, Section 2 oft the' VRA prohibits election systems and practices that have the effect of diluting the voting power of racial, ethnic, and Various districting and redistricting techniques have historically been used, and are still used, to dilute the political power of racial, ethnic, and language minorities. The two most common language minorities.8 techniques are "packing" and "cracking." "Packing" refers to concentrating as many people from a minority group as possible into as few districts as possible. This limits the total number of districts in which they have influence. For example, ifa a community could be! 55 percent of two different districts, but are concentrated together such that they are 80 percent ofj just one district and 15 "Cracking" refers toi fragmenting concentrations of minority populations among multiple districts to ensure that they have no effective voice in any one district. Ifa community could be 60 percent of one district, but isi instead split soi iti is 20 percent of four percent of another, "packing" has occurred. different districts, "cracking" has occurred. To prevent packing, cracking, and other discrimination in our elections systems, the VRA prohibits district maps that unlawfully dilute the voting power of any racial, ethnic, or language minority group."Amapi may' violate the VRA even if the map drawers did not intend to discriminate against minority voters. 10 It is enough that a map results in minority vote dilution fori it to bei found unlawful. 752 U.S.C.A. $1 10101 et seq. 952 U.S.C.A. $1 10301. 10G Gingles, 478 U.S. at 44. 852 U.S.C.A. 51 10301; see Thornburg V.

PACKING NOR CRACKING How can a district map be drawn that complies with the VRA? This is a complicated area ofl law, but in simple terms, the VRA requires the following: If a cityi is home to (1) a politically cohesive minority group that (2) has experienced difficulty electing 5 candidates ofi its choice because the majority votes opposite to its interests and (3) has experienced discrimination historically, the citys should draw a district in which that minority group is over! 50 percent of the district, if (4) the minority group is geographically compact What is the appropriate measure ofpopulation for creating a majority-minority enough to do so.11 district? As discussed above, the requirement that districts be substantially equal ini their population is based on total population, because elected officials represent their whole constituency, including children and people who are not eligible to vote. However, the population measure that is used to determine whether there is vote dilution is not total population. Instead, the measure used is the "citizen voting age population" (CVAP), meaning the population of the district's residents who are United States citizens and 18 years of age or older. 12 Essentially, CVAP represents registered voters plus those unregistered individuals who could register to vote if they SO choose. The effectiveness of a minority population in a district is measured by whether the eligible voters of that population represent a majority of all eligible voters ini that Any demographer hired by local governments should be able to provide extensive data on the CVAP in the city in order to analyze the types of districts that can be drawn and ensure What kinds of districts can be drawn to empower historically disenfranchised district. compliance with the VRA. communities? There are various approaches to creating districts that empower historically disenfranchised communities. The appropriate districts for a particular jurisdiction depend on the size oft the 11 To challenge a district map on the grounds thati it violates the VRA, a plaintiff has to show three conditions in court: (1) A minority group is large enough and geographically compact enough that it could make upt the majority ofa district; (2) that minority group is politically cohesive, meaning thatr most or all ofi its members votei ina a similar way; and (3) majority voters vote as a bloci ina a way that usually defeats the minority's preferred candidates. Gingles, 478 U.S. at 49. Ift these three conditions are: satisfied but the district map does not include: a district, or districts, in which ther minority groupi in question is over 50 percent of thep population, then a court willl look at the "totality of circumstances" to determine if there is vote dilution. See e.g., League of United Latin Am. Citizens V. 12 Romero V. City of Pomona, 883 F.2d 1418, 1426 (9th Cir. 1989) ("eligible minority voter population, rather than total minority population, is the appropriate measure of geographical compactness"), overruled in part on other Perry, 548 U.S. 399, 425-26 (2006). grounds. 6 communities in the jurisdiction, how diffuse or compact they are, how politically cohesive they are, and input from community members indicating their common interests and desires for their particular districts. With that said, below are four common frameworks that local governments can utilize to ensure that racial, ethnic, and language minorities are afforded an Majority-minority district. A district is known as a majority-minority district" when "a minority group composes ar numerical, working majority" of the district.13 As discussed earlier, the Voting Rights Act requires a majority-minority district under a very specific set of circumstances Crossover district. A district is known as a "crossover district" when a racial or language minority is not large enough to compose the majority of a district but isl large enough that when the minority group's votes are combined with those of similarly-minded voters from the majority population, the preferred candidates oft the minority have an opportunity to win. The Supreme Court has held that the Voting Rights Act does not mandate the creation of crossover districts but that jurisdictions "that wish to draw crossover districts are free to do so."14 Minority coalition district. A district is known as a "coalition district" when two racial, ethnic, or language minority groups can be combined to form a majority of the district. Although the Supreme Court has not addressed whether the Voting Rights Act requires the creation of coalition districts, some federal circuit courts have held that coalition districts must be created when two racial, ethnic, or language minority groups, taken together, meet the requirements for a vote dilution claim. 15 In other words, if two racial, ethnic, or language minority groups are politically cohesive, have experienced difficulty electing candidates of their choice, and have experienced discrimination historically, the local governing body should draw a district in which the two groups combine to form over 50 percent of a district, if the groups are geographically compact enough to do sO. The Ninth Circuit has implicitly recognized that vote dilution could equal opportunity to participate in their elections: thati indicate minority vote dilution is occurring. 13 Bartlett V. Strickland, 556 U.S.1,13 (2009). 141 Id. at: 24. 15 Campos V. City of Baytown, 840F. 2d: 1240, 1244 (5th Cir. 1998) (holding that blacks and Latinos may be combined to meet first Gingles condition ofa a geographically compact minority); Concerned Citizens of Hardee County V. Hardee County Bd. of Comm'rs, 906 F. 2d! 524 (11th Cir. 1990) (blacks and Latinos combined tot forma majority-minority district, meeting first Gingles condition, but upholding district court rulingt that blacks and Latinos were not shown to be politically cohesive, failing second Gingles condition); but see Nixon V. Kent County, 76F. 3d: 1381, 1386 (6th Cir. 1996) (holding that Congress didr not intend for multiple minority groups tol be combined to meet thet first Gingles condition). 7 occur based on failure to draw a coalition district. 16 The California Supreme Court has written Influence district. A district is known as an "influence district" when a racial or language minority group is not large enough to compose the majority of a district but is still numerous enough to influence election outcomes in that district. While the U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that the Voting Rights Act does not guarantee influence districts to racial and language minority groups, 18 just as with crossover districts nothing prevents a districting body from creatinginfluence districts ifi it SO chooses. The California Supreme Court has written approvingly of coalition districts.17 approvingly of influence districts.19 The Acceptable Use of Race The Supreme Court has declared that redistricting may be performed "with consciousness of race.' "20 Indeed, it would bei impossible to properly undertake a districting process without consideration of race given the many protections afforded to racial, ethnic, and language minorities by the federal Voting Rights Act. Furthermore, understanding the racial, ethnic, and language communities of aj jurisdiction has always been part of determining that At the same time, the Supreme Court does not permit racial gerrymanders, where districts are sO bizarrely shaped that it is clear the line drawers predominantly considered race in creating the maps and there is no compelling reason for the way race was used. 21 So where is the line? In the words of the Supreme Court, "The constitutional wrong occurs when race becomes the dominant and controlling consideration."22 This is whyl local governments should look at other factors in addition to race = such as shared history and language, common social networks, shared interest in schools, health, and public safety, neighborhood boundaries - that indicate whether members of racial groups also form jurisdiction's communities of interest. communities ofi interest. 16 Badillo V. City of Stockton, Cal., 956F. 2d 884, 886, 891 (9th Cir. 1992) (acknowledging that "[H]ispanics and blacks together could form a majority in as single-member district" but affirming lower court's holding that plaintiffs didr not meet Gingles conditions fora a vote dilution claim becausei they failed tos show Hispanic and Black communities int the contested district were politically cohesive). 18 League of United Latin American Citizens V. Perry, 548 U.S. 399, 446 (2006). 21 See Bethune-Hilli V. Virginia. State Bd. of Elections, 137S. Ct. 788, 797, 800-801( (2017). 171 Wilson V.

Hunt, 517 U.S. 899, 905 (1996) (emphasis added). 8 California State Requirements When cities and counties in California draw or redraw district lines, they must comply with the US Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act and they must use redistricting criteria mandated by the California Elections Code, which are ranked in order of priority. 23 Ranked Redistricting Criteria, for Cities 1 2 3 Geographic Contiguity Neighborhoods and Communities ofi interest Does each district have a single unbroken border? Are neighborhoods and other communities ofi interest kept whole (intact within the same district)? manmade boundaries, such as streets, rivers, highways, and rail lines?

Easily Identifiable Boundaries Do districts follow easily identifiable natural and 4 Geographical Compactness Charter City Exemption: Charter cities that have adopted redistricting criteria ini their charter do not have toi follow these ranked criteria, if their charter provides two or more traditional redistricting criteria and/or their charter excludes consideration of other redistricting criteria. 24 Ranked Redistricting Criteria, for Counties 1 2 3 Geographic Contiguity Neighborhoods and Communities ofi interest Places Intact Does each district have a single unbroken border?

Are districts relatively compact? 5 Geographical Compactness 23 Cal. Elec. Code $52 21621(e), 21601(C),216210c). 24 Cal. Elec. Code $21500(c). 9 What is Contiguity? A district is geographically contiguous if its perimeter can bei traced in one, unbroken line. A district consisting of two or more unconnected areas is not contiguous. Two areas of land separated by water may be considered contiguous if al bridge, tunnel, or regular ferry connects them. What are Communities of Interest? During redistricting, al local government should aim to keep neighborhoods and communities of interest intact within a single city council or supervisorial district. Communities ofi interest are the overlapping sets of neighborhoods, networks, and groups that share interests, views, cultures, histories, languages, and values and whose boundaries can be identified on a map. Relationships with political parties or elected officials and candidates are not considered communities ofi interest. The following elements help define communities of interest: shared interests in schools, housing, community safety, transit, health conditions, land common social and civic networks, including churches, mosques, temples, homeowner associations, and community centers, and shared use of community spaces, like parks racial and ethnic compositions, cultural identities, and households that predominantly similar socio-economic status, including but not limited to income, home-ownership, shared political boundary lines from other jurisdictions, such as school districts, use, environmental conditions, and/or other issues; and shopping centers; speak a language other than English; and education levels; community college districts, and water districts. While local governing bodies likely know many of the communities of interest int their jurisdictions, there will inevitably be some communities that they do not know well and some that they do not know at all. Al holistic picture of the communities ofi interest in any city or county takes shape only through extensive publict testimony from a diverse set of community members. See the Best Practices for Local Redistricting section below for recommendations on how local governments can collect comprehensive community input. 10 What is Compactness? There are various social science measures of compactness, but most courts have applied an intuitive moW-t-when.you-see-t test that looks at geometric shape to determine if a districti is compact.25 Courts may also use a functional analysis, such as analyzing whether citizens in the Local governments should give local governments the proper amount of weight. In California, cities and counties must prioritize the other ranked criteria above compactness.27 They must also comply with the US Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act. In manyi instances, keeping communities ofi interest intact, complying with the Voting Rights Act, and/or following geographic boundaries can only be achieved by drawing maps that have somewhat unusual district can relate to each othera and can relate to their representative. 26 shapes. Compactness & Gerrymandering Recognizing the many factors line-drawers must consider, Courts understand that districts will not have simple geometric shapes. 28 Maps may be challenged for being non-compact where they have an extremely irregular shape that may indicate racial gerrymandering and there is evidence that race played the predominant role in map creation. Courts use a very detailed analysis that looks beyond shape, considering the history of discrimination, line-drawer statements, and whether maps reflect communities of interest and other redistricting criteria. Iti is quite rare for districts to be successfully challenged in court on the basis of compactness. On the next page are two examples where courts looked at compactness when deciding whether a map was based predominantly on race. 25 See e.g., Lee V. Cityo ofLos Angeles, 88 F. Supp. 3d 1140, 1150 (C.D. Cal. 2015) (noting that district: shaped like a "fat turkey" has' "a relatively compact and contiguous shape"); Cuthair V. Montezuma-Cortez, Colo.. Sch. Dist.,7F.

Elec. Code S5 21500(c), 21601(c), 21621(c). intact). 11 Examples of Compactness Reasonably Compact, Multiple Factors Considered In Cano V. Davis, 211 F. Supp. 2d 1208, 1222 (C.D. Cal. 2002), a court found that Congressional District 51, which at the time included al long stretch that ran along the U.S.-Mexico border and connected Imperial County with south San Diego County, was "reasonably compact." The court found that the district was "no more irregulari in shape than any other district created by the legislature, and certainly [did] not constitute a showing of bizarreness that would support an inference that the [district was] racially gerrymandered." As a result, the district Not Compact, Race Predominant Factor In Shaw V. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993) and Shaw V. Hunt, 517 U.S. 899 (1996), the United State Congressional District 51 San Dego Imperial Brawley EICentro Calexiço. MEXICO 100N Miles Mtional City Chulà Vista Pacifiel Ocean was allowed to stand. Supreme Court considered North Carolina Congressional District 12, an African American majority district. The district is the skinny, bright pink district on the map below. The Court found that the map was predominantly shaped by racial considerations because it was "non- compact by any objective standard that can be conceived" and reportedly' "the least geographically compact district ini the Nation," "29 and the Court had evidence that the line- drawers had created such a bizarre district because they had subjugated all other redistricting considerations, including compactness, to a desire to intentionally separate voters by race. 30 The district had to be redrawn. Athens Columbia, 29 Shaw V. Hunt, 517 U.S. at 906. Hunt, 5170 U.S. at 916-18. 30 The Supreme Court deemed North Carolina's: 12th Congressional District a racial gerrymander meriting strict scrutiny andr remanded it to ai federal District Court. Shaw V. Reno, 509 U.S. at 641, 658. The District Court held the district passed strict scrutiny and the Supreme Court, considering the districta a second time, reversed. Shawv. 12 Partisan Gerrymandering Is Prohibited Under the FAIR MAPS Act, cities and counties are now prohibited from considering partisan and party advantage when redrawing district lines or drawing district lines for the first time. 31 Removing partisan gerrymandering from local districting and redistricting, helps ensure at fair process that focuses on the needs and interests of communities. Counting Incarcerated People Under state law, in the 2020 redistricting cycle incarcerated individuals32 will not be counted as part oft the population in the county where they are incarcerated. If data are available regarding the last known place of residence of incarcerated individuals, they willl be counted ini their city and county of last residence for the purpose of redistricting. 33 Local governments may contract directly with demographers to procure this data, though it is likely to be available through the Statewide Database at UC Berkeley. 31 Cal. Elec. Code 55 21500(d), 21601(d), 21621(d). 33 Cal. Elec. Code S5 21500(a)(2), 21601(a)(2), 21621(a)(2). 321 Incarcerated individuals refers here to people held ats state correctional facilities that are controlled byt the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Cal. Elec. Code S5 215000)2,216010)010/2,216210)2)- 13 Public Outreach and Transparency Requirements Cities and counties should ensure that the local redistricting process is accessible and transparent. By taking active steps to encourage robust public participation, cities and counties will have stronger community of interest testimony and be better equipped to draw district maps that reflect the needs of their diverse constituents. Public Outreach and Engagement Hearings By law, cities and counties must hold at least four public hearings that enable community members to provide input on the drawing of district maps:34 At least one hearing must occur before the city or county draws draft maps.35 At least two hearings must happen after the drawing of draft maps.3 36 The fourth hearing can happen either before or after the drawing of draft maps. To increase the accessibility of these hearings, cities and counties must take the following steps: At least one hearing must occur on a Saturday, Sunday, or after 6 p.m. on a weekday. 37 Ifar redistricting hearing is consolidated with another local government meeting, the redistricting hearing portion must begin at a pre-designated time. 38 Local public redistricting hearings should be made accessible to people with disabilities.39 There is flexibility around how local redistricting hearings are conducted: City or county staff or consultants may hold a public workshop instead of one of the required public redistricting hearings.40 34 Cal.

A: successful district map-drawing body (whether iti is a city council, a school board, or some independent body) should heari from all of the communities and neighborhoods within a jurisdiction's limits, regardless of their language abilities, resources, or previous levels of engagement in local politics. The map-drawing body should spread the word about its work in local newspapers in various languages, at meetings of local community groups, in multilingual robo-calls, on digital marquees at local schools, ini flyers sent home with school children, and sO on. Simply publicizing the process on the jurisdiction's website andi in a small number of channels. newsletters and community newspapers is not enough. 54 Cal. Elec.

Code 55 21508(g)(7),: 21608(g)(7), 21628(g)(7). 17 Ensure that outreach & publicity materials are distributed in multiple languages. Ajurisdiction should prepare outreach & publicity materials in a variety of languages sO that word about redistricting spreads to all of the jurisdiction's language communities. Outreach materials about the redistricting process, information publicizing upcoming redistricting workshops and hearings, and the designated redistricting web page itself should bei translated. Ajurisdiction should translate outreach & publicity materials into at least all applicable languages which they are required to offer live translation in at public redistricting hearings or workshops. Translated materials should be shared with civic, cultural, and community organizations, posted online, and sent to ethnic news media sources, including print, web, and radio outlets. Ideally, translated materials should be shared with leaders from the relevant language communities before they are released publicly to make sure the materials are Actively promote local redistricting via social media and local influencers. Create eye-catching and clear draft social media content to promote engagement in local redistricting. Call upon local elected officials, artists, community leaders, etc. to post about local redistricting on their social media channels. Purchase boosted ads on Instagram and Facebook to spread the word. Lastly, consider launching a social media campaign to alert community accurate, accessible, and culturally competent. members to this process. Maximizing Public Participation through Frequent and Accessible Hearings and Workshops Hold more hearings than the legal minimum. The map-drawing body in aj jurisdiction undergoing a redistricting process should hold a large number of hearings both before the drawing of draft maps and after the release of draft maps but before adoption of ai final map. The statutory minimum is four hearings total, at least one during the first phase and at least two in the second. Four hearings, however, is likely not enough to gather input from a diverse set of community members. Holding more hearings provides community members with multiple opportunities to contribute and enables them to participate even if they learn about redistricting late int the process. Hold hearings in diverse locations. The map-drawing body should bring redistricting hearings and workshops directly to the community and meet residents where they naturally congregate. This means hearings should 18 be held in a diversity ofl locations, all of which should be accessible by public transit and be ADA-compliant. The map-drawing body should avoid holding all hearings in a single location, like a city hall building. This does not make hearings accessible to residents in all parts of the jurisdiction, especially those who do not have ready access to a car. Government buildings can also feel formal ori intimidating to community members who aren'tused to conducting business int those locations. Holding hearings in highly-trafficked community spaces such as libraries, community centers, or places of worship in different neighborhoods and parts of town maximizes accessibility and helps create a comfortable environment. Offer the public diverse hearing days and times. To allow residents with a variety of job and family commitments to participate, hearing dates and times should vary. Weekday hearings during business hours should never be used. If possible, hearings scheduled for weekday evenings should be held on different days oft the week and should be mixed with weekend hearing dates. Create stand-alone redistricting hearings. Redistricting is a transformative experience in aj jurisdiction's political life - it merits a different kind of treatment than the jurisdiction's other business. While a routine amount of public input may be acceptable for other items on the jurisdiction's agendas, iti is insufficient on ai topic that isc critical to the jurisdiction's political future. Local governments should avoid embedding redistricting hearings in city council or school board meetings, and create standalone hearings instead. Local governments should also consider embedding these hearings into community meetings and events that engage diverse constituents who might not otherwise attend a city Livestream and/or record all hearings and post on the districting webpage. Although cities and counties may provide a written summary in place of an audio or audiovisual recording of redistricting hearings and workshops, posting a recording of hearings is helpful because it allows residents to follow mapping conversations and decisions more closely. Livestreaming the proceedings also increases the accessibility of redistricting meetings, as people can watch from home in real time and potentially even participate virtually if needed. Recording hearings may present logistical challenges when hearings are held in community spaces instead of city! hall buildings. Those challenges should be planned for and budgeted for council, board of supervisors, or school board meeting. ina advance. 19 Host numerous workshops to inform the public and gather community of interest testimony. In addition to formal public hearings, local governments should endeavor to host a number of educational and nformation-gathering workshops int the community to help residents identify priority communities of interest and draw them on a map. City or county staff should come prepared with large blank maps of the jurisdiction, laptops to access Google maps for reference (or printed maps that include key roads and thoroughfares), and pens. Offer technical. support to help residents submit district maps. The redistricting process can be a fairly technical process. Local governments should be prepared to hold workshops that help residents understand redistricting criteria and how to submit a map whether it be via paper, excel, or a digital mapping software. Detailed tutorials and assistance ini the form of workshops and office hours should be offered SO community members can ask questions when drawing their district maps. If possible, cities and counties should reserve local computer labs at libraries or community centers to give residents greater access to relevant digital mapping software. Budgeting to Enable Robust Outreach and Accessible Hearings Budget the money necessary to do redistricting right. Ajurisdiction should budget for, among other things: finding and reserving diverse hearing locations, providing translation services to the public, paying city or county staff to work on evenings and weekends, doing robust outreach and publicity, and creating a webpage with a number of functionalities. The jurisdiction should consider whether to hire outside contractors for some tasks and services, such as scouting meeting locations, preparing outreach materials, engaging community organizations to educate members and encourage their participation, and providing translation services. One primary cost aj jurisdiction will incur when redistricting is the hiring of a demographer. It is tempting to think of that as a "necessary" cost while outreach and accessibility costs are "optional" or a "luxury." Ini truth, outreach and accessibility are essential ift the jurisdiction wants its residents to understand and believe in the process. 20 Timeline and Deadlines Local governments now have more standardized redistricting calendars. Counties, charter cities, and general law cities can begin releasing draft maps starting three weeks after the Statewide Redistricting Database is available with the most updated census data. 61 Local governments can hold public redistricting hearings and workshops to gather input before releasing draft maps, and should start the process early to get robust public testimony and engagement. As a general rule, counties and cities must adopt districts no later than 205 days before the next regular election that occurs after. January 1 in each year ending in the number two (2032,2042, etc.).62 However, special timelines apply for the 2021-2022 redistricting cycle, because of anticipated delays int the release of census data. For cities or counties with their next upcoming regular election between Jan. 1, 2022 and. July 1, 2022, district maps must be adopted no later than 174 days before the For cities or counties with their next upcoming regular election on or after.

If thej jurisdiction fails to do this within five days after the deadline, then any resident of the city or county can file the petition instead and will be eligible for reimbursement by the city or county for their reasonable attorney's fees and costs. 65 61 Cal.

Aredistricting commission is an independent body made up of members of the public that will recommend or even decide the next district map. 71 By allowing everyday residents to take the lead instead of elected officials, local governments can reduce the risk of political biases influencing final district boundaries, increase public trust ini the redistricting process, and spur greater future involvement in local decision-making. General law cities, charter cities, school districts, community college districts, special districts, and counties can create these commissions via resolution, ordinance, or charter amendment.72 What types of redistricting commissions are there? Local governments can create three types of redistricting commissions which vary in their Advisory Redistricting Commission: This redistricting body makes recommendations to the Hybrid Redistricting Commission: This redistricting body may recommend two or more maps for the legislative body to choose from and adopt without modification (except where needed Independent Redistricting Commission: This redistricting body has the greatest level of decision-making power because it can adopt district boundaries for a given legislative body. 76 functions and level of decision-making power:73 legislative body about new district boundaries.74 inc order to ensure compliance with state or federal law).75 71 Cal.
