CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

MEMORANDUM
DATE
: March 10, 2022
TO: Ma
yor and City Council Members
Ashley J. Feeney, City Manager
FRO
M: Alison Bermudez, Associate Planner
SU
BJECT: Sayonara Drive Study Session
Thi
s purpose of this Study Session is to discuss the City’s obligation for replacement housing on the City owned parcels on Sayonara Drive. Twelve parcels are vacant as a result of the demolition of blighted housing units on Sayonara Drive between 2008 and 2010. This work was completed by the former Citrus Heights Redevelopment Agency.

In 2009,
the City adopted the Sayonara Drive Improvement Strategy and in 2010 adopted the Replacement Housing Plan for the Property Located at Sayonara Drive to comply with California Redevelopment Law. Although much success has been seen on Sayonara Drive, the replacement housing requirement has not moved forward. The City is obligated to be contracted to replace at least 12 units or 24 bedrooms by September 2022.

Ci
ty staff has been working over the past several years seeking a development partner to meet the replacement housing obligation for Sayonara Drive but finding a partner has been challenging. Over the past few months, staff has been meeting with Habitat for Humanity on a potential partnership. Habitat for Humanity, a well-known non-profit housing builder focused on affordable homeownership, is interested in the project. A Habitat for Humanity partnership would bring owner-occupied, quality homes for persons/families with income restrictions to Sayonara Drive.

Ha
bitat for Humanity builds ownership units in both single-family and duplex housing types.

The Study Session will include a presentation on a variety of housing mix options for Sayonara Drive:
• All single-family units
• All duplex units
• A combination of unit types.

Th
e goal of the Study Session for the City Council to provide feedback on the options and their preferred unit mix—one that meets the City’s replacement obligation, meets or exceeds the community’s housing needs and meets the City’s Housing Goals.

Study Session Item 2
Agenda Packet Page 5
Sayonara Drive Study Session

While funding for the project is a key consideration, it is not intended to be the focus of tonight’s discussion. Below is an overview of funding for the project which includes Habitat’s projected costs, expected funding sources and projected funding gaps. There will be no funding decisions made at this Study Session. Once the preferred housing type mix is known, staff will continue to work through funding options and present information to the City Council at a later date.

Funding Options

Habitat for Humanity has developed a range of housing options between 12 and 24 units. The projected development costs increase as the unit count increases. Current projections indicate the lowest cost option (12 single-family homes) would be approximately $3,000,000 in development costs and the highest cost option (12 duplexes/24 units) would be approximately $6,000,000 in development costs.

Affordable Housing generally requires financial subsidy to make projects come to fruition.

Oftentimes, these projects are subsidized by local government and state or federal grants and financing.

Through discussions with Habitat, it is anticipated that Habitat can contribute approximately $150,000 per unit ($75k per unit towards development costs and 75k in mortgage assistance).

Staff has identified approximately $1.4 million in non-general funds or fee waivers that may be considered by the Council to help fund the project. These sources include funds specifically allocated for Affordable Housing including:

1. Affordable Housing Fund - $350,000 Available

2. Permanent Local Housing Allocation (State Grant) - $735,000 Available

3. HOME Funds - $290,000 Available

4. Fee Waivers

When these funding sources are combined with Habitat for Humanity funds, two of the project options are feasible without any additional (non-housing specific) funding. Two of the options would require an additional subsidy or grant funds (up to $600,000). If the options that require additional funding are desired by the Council, staff will evaluate opportunities to fund any shortfall via grants or other funding sources. In addition, before formally allocating these funding sources, additional Council action is required for these funds to be available.

7:30 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING

9. SUBJECT: Public Hearing #2 on the Redistricting Process STAFF: A. Van
RECOMMENDATION: The following is recommended;

a. Receive a presentation from the City’s Demographic Consulting Firm, National Demographics Corporation (NDC); and

b. Hold a Public Hearing to Review Draft Maps and Receive Public Input Regarding the Composition of District Boundaries

City Clerk Van introduced the item. This is the second of four public hearings that will engage residents and community members in the redistricting process. Van stated that the City did not receive any draft maps from the public. Staff will host a public workshop on March 3, 2022 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. to give the public an opportunity to engage in the redistricting process.

Robert McEntire with NDC introduced the process of re-districting and introduced the proposed draft map.

McEntire discussed the goal of laying the foundation for the redistricting process, which includes following guidelines from federal laws, state criteria for cities, and other traditional redistricting principles. McEntire explained that given the updated census data, current district boundaries are legally compliant and are reflected in the proposed draft map. Current district boundaries reflect correct population balancing, which aligns with state and federal criteria. Each of the five districts should be equal and contain about 17,570 people. The goal of the second public hearing is to view the draft map from NDC and receive feedback from Council.

Vice Mayor Schaefer opened the public hearing at 7:43 p.m.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Michael Lagomarsino addressed the City Council stating his support of using the existing district map. He states that as long as our district number remain within the 5% threshold, the districts should remain the same.

When the City initially transitioned to district based elections, he was concerned with his district being divided by the freeway, but it has proven to work. He stated that in 2030 with the number of housing development projects currently and potentially underway, then that should be a time to redraw district boundaries.

Hearing no other public comments, Vice Mayor Schaefer closed the public hearing at 7:45 p.m.

Council Member Daniels expressed concern regarding the future potential growth, at the very bottom of the blue area with the Mitchell Farms of about 260 homes. I’m hoping that in District 1 at the northwest side that Roseville Pointe comes in at some point over the next few years and that could be maybe 200 homes. On District 5 our future anticipated growth with the mall could be about 2000 homes there and that’s not going to happen in the next year or two but it is definitely likely to happen on some level over a relatively short time, hopefully. When you look at District 1 on the numbers side I believe it is under so that might get it a little closer to parity. But when I look at the blue area it is a little over already and we are looking at adding 400 people or so and when I look at District 5 it is the same situation and so if we wanted to think about that and wanted to keep that in mind, one thing that we might be able to do is cut District 5 where I believe that is Arcade Creek.

And so as we get information back I’d like to see some numbers on what happens to District 4 if we include the area within District 5 that goes down to arcade creek the far north creek area and just see what that number looks like and see if we want to weight that with the issue of what’s going to happen at the mall.

Council Member Miller I guess we would have to figure if it was going to happen in less than 10 years.

No further discussion or direction was given.

REGULAR CALENDAR

10. SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2021-22 Mid-Year Budget Adjustment and Financial Forecast Update STAFF: B. Zenoni/ T. Nossardi
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2022-018, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, Approving Amendments to the Fiscal Year 2021-22 Budget

Interim Administrative Services Director Zenoni provided Council with a Fiscal year 2021-2022 Mid-Year Budget Review. Zenoni provided an update on the general fund and the funding received from the American Rescue Plan Act. The City’s sales tax revenue, motor vehicle in-lieu fees, and building activity has brought in higher revenue than initially anticipated. Two areas in the general fund, red light camera fines and Community Center rentals, have brought in less than what was originally expected. Proposed adjustments include allocations to risk management to cover rising insurance premiums, non-departmental expenditures, and the Police Department for body worn cameras. The revised budget reflects a projected savings of $1.4 million and will generate a projected $2.9 million operating surplus. Zenoni discussed the funding received from the American Rescue Plan Act. In June, staff allocated $2.5 million for Police Department staffing. Zenoni provided an update on the Financial Forecast, which promoted fiscal responsibility and planning. This forecast allows staff to identify potential issues with the budget and also develop a corrective action plan. The forecast estimate is based on current financial information.

BJECT: Approve Resolution for Continued Remote Meetings in Accordance with AB 361
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-___ a resolution making the legally required findings to continue to authorize the conduct of remote “telephonic” meetings during the State of Emergency.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Background and Analysis
At
the October 14, 2021 regular meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-082 making the legally required findings to authorize the conduct of remote “telephonic” meetings during a declared state of emergency pursuant to Government Code. The City Council determined that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and state of emergency, meetings in person of the City Council and all legislative bodies of the City would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

In t
he event of an ongoing proclaimed state of emergency, in order to continue to conduct meetings remotely, any time after the first remote meeting of the legislative body, it can meet remotely if both of the following apply:

1. Sta
te/local emergency/social distancing. Either:
a. “a state of emergency remains active” or
b. “state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing” and

Printed on Recycled Paper

2. 30 days . Within the last 30 days (which vote may occur at that meeting) the legislative body has made the following findings by majority vote “(A) The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency. (B) Any of the following circumstances exist (i) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person. (ii) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.”
Gove
rnor Newsom’s March 4, 2020 Proclamation of Emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is still in effect. It is important to note that neither AB 361 nor the attached resolution would require meetings be held in an all-virtual format. By adopting this resolution would allow a “hybrid” format where council members and staff participate either in person or remotely depending on their individual circumstances. Additionally, the hybrid formal allows the public to continue to participate remotely. Failing to adopt this resolution would require meetings to be held in-person under traditional Brown Act parameters (noticing the teleconference location, providing access to the public, etc.); adopting the resolution would give the flexibility as it moves forward with meetings.

If t
he City intends to conduct meetings remotely, it should add to every agenda a consent calendar item to reaffirm the findings described above, which are required to allow the remote meetings. This resolution also makes the necessary finings for all subordinate legislative bodies of the City, such as the Planning Commission, so these bodies can also continue to meet remotely on an ongoing basis.

This Chapter provides regulations for the protection, preservation, and maintenance of:

A. Native oak trees;

B. The habitat values of oak woodlands;

C. Trees of historic or cultural significance;

D. Groves and stands of mature trees; and

E. Mature trees in general that are associated with proposals for development.

106.39.020 - Applicability 106.39.020

A. Applicability to protected trees. The provisions of this Chapter shall apply in all zoning districts to the removal or relocation of any protected tree, and to any encroachment (for example, grading) within the protected zone of a protected tree. A protected tree is any of the following:

1. A native oak tree with a diameter of six or more inches as measured 54 inches above the ground, or a multi-trunked oak tree having an aggregate diameter of 10 inches or more measured 54 inches above ground.

recommendations for any additional care or treatment. Inspection frequency may be specified in the Tree Permit Conditions of Approval.

106.39.060 - Tree Planting and ReplacementMitigation 106.39.060

The City's principal objective for the Tree Permit process is the preservation of protected trees. The review authority may condition any Tree Permit involving removal of a protected tree upon the replacement of trees in kind. The replacement requirement shall be calculated based upon an inch for an inch replacement of the DBH of the removed trees where a 15 gallon tree (i.e., nursery stock in a #15 container) will replace one inch DBH of the removed tree; a 24 inch box tree will replace two inches, and a 36 inch box tree will replace three inches. The replacement trees shall have a combined diameter equivalent not less than the total diameter of the trees removed. A minimum of 50 percent of the replacement requirement shall be met by native oaks. Up to 50 percent may be met by non- native species. The review authority may approve a replacement program using one of the following four five methods or any combination of the four five methods. The preferred alternative is on-site replacement.

A. Replacement trees. Replacement trees may be planted on-site or in other areas where maintenance and irrigation are provided to ensure survival of the trees. The replacement trees shall have a combined diameter equivalent not less than the total diameter of the trees removed. A minimum of 50 percent of the replacement requirement shall be met by native oaks. Up to 50 percent may be met by non- native species. The replacement requirement shall be calculated based upon an inch for an inch replacement of the DBH of the removed trees using the following formula:

1. One 15 gallon tree (i.e., nursery stock in a #15 container) will replace one inch DBH of the removed tree;

2. One 24 inch box tree will replace two inches DBH of the removed tree; and

3. One 36 inch box tree will replace three inches DBH of the removed tree.

B. Relocation of trees. In certain cases, the City may consider the relocation of native oak trees from one area in a project to another. Credit shall be given for relocation on the same basis as replacement. The guidelines and limitations for relocation are as follows:

1. The trees being recommended for relocation must be approved by the review authority whose decision will be based upon factors relating to health, type, size, time of year and proposed location.

2. The relocation of a tree shall be conditioned to require a secured five- year replacement agreement for the tree with security provided by the developer in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney. If at the end of five years the tree is deemed by an arborist to be in a substantially similar condition to that prior to the transplanting, the agreement will be terminated. If the tree dies during the five- year period, it shall be replaced as required by this Section.

C. Revegetation requirements. The review authority may, instead of requiring replacement trees, require implementation of a revegetation plan. The applicant shall enter into a written agreement with the City obligating the applicant to comply with the requirements of the revegetation plan. A performance security or bond for 150 percent of the cost of the revegetation plan shall be required to insure that the agreement is fulfilled. The review authority shall approve the proposed plan. The revegetation program shall propagate native oak trees from seed using currently accepted methods. A revegetation program shall identify the seed source of the trees to be propagated, the location of the plots, the methods to be used to ensure success of the revegetation program, an annual reporting requirement, and the criteria to be used to measure the success of the plan. A revegetation program shall not be considered complete until the trees to be propagated have reached one-half inch in diameter or the revegetation plan demonstrates the need for alternative success criteria and achieves mitigation on an inch for inch basis as approved by the Commission.

D. In-lieu mitigation fee. The review authority may determine that the remedies described above are not feasible or desirable and may require instead payment of a cash contribution based upon the cost of purchasing, planting, irrigating and maintaining the required number of 15 gallon trees. The cost of purchasing, planting, irrigating and maintaining a 15 gallon oak tree shall be set by Council resolution. The cash contribution shall be deposited into the Tree Mitigation Fund.

Tree Mitigation Funds can be used as determined by the Director:

1. Tree Mitigation Fund. This fund shall be used to propagate, purchase, plant, protect and maintain trees , including purchasing property to plant or protect trees, propagating trees from seed or container stock and maintaining existing and replacement trees.

2. To fund special projects that enhance urban forestry programming, build on existing information, and/or to develop outreach or educational materials in support of the community urban forest and tree canopy.

E. On-site tree preservation. On-site preservation of native oak trees that are less than 6 inches (<6 inches) dbh, as described in Section 106.39.020, and within the buildable area of the site may also be used to meet the tree mitigation requirement pursuant to the formula described in Section 106.39.060(A).

106.39.070 - Tree Permit Approval or Denial 106.39.070

Each Tree Permit application shall be reviewed, and approved or denied in compliance with this Section.

A. Review authority. A Tree Permit shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the Director, except that the Commission shall decide upon a Tree Permit application where tree removal is part of a project that otherwise requires approval by the Commission.

B. Application evaluation criteria. The following criteria shall be used to support the findings required by Subsection C. for the approval of a Tree Permit.

1. General criteria.

a. The gross floor area of proposed buildings in relation to the "usable" size of the site and the amount of usable space on the site that does not require the removal of protected trees;

b. Design features in comparison with other existing or approved projects in the vicinity and in the same zone that have or had protected trees on their sites;

c. Factors that are unique to the site, such as topographic constraints, lot configuration and other physical limitations;

d. The overall health and structural condition of the potentially impacted protected trees;

e. The approximate age of the each protected tree compared with the average life span for each species;

f. The number of healthy protected trees that the site will support, with and without the proposed development;

g. The effect of tree removal on soil stability/erosion, particularly near watercourses or on steep slopes;

h. Whether there are any alternatives that would allow for the preservation of the protected tree; and Agenda Packet Page 44

BJECT: Resolution Adopting Police Specific Benefits for the Police Services Supervisor and Police Services Manager Classifications
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-___ A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, adopting the addition to Police Specific Benefits for two recently created Police specific non-represented classifications to promote continuing education:

Police Services Supervisor and Police Services Manager Classifications • Education Incentive of 5% maximum based on the following:
 AA/AS Degree or equivalent 2.5% of base salary
 Intermediate Post 2.5% of base salary
 BA/BS Degree 2.5% of base salary
 Advance Post 2.5% of base salary
Th
e recently created Police Services Supervisor and Police Services Manager positions are part of Police Department reorganization efforts associated with the City Council adopted Strategic Planning Goal to “Sustain and Preserve Public Safety” through the adopted Strategic Objective to:
“Reorganize the police organizational structure as staffing level returns and create a specialty team to focus on street-level community concerns such as homelessness, gang activity, and violent crime.”
Th
e Police Services Supervisor and Police Services Manager classifications were part of this reorganization effort and while they are new classifications, they did not increase the authorized full time employee (FTE) position count. The intent when the positions were created was for these new positions to receive educational benefit parity with similar classifications. Adoption of Item 9
Agenda Packet Page 60
Subject: Resolution adopting the Addition to Police Specific Benefits Date: March 10, 2022

Page 2 of 2 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
the proposed Resolution provides for this parity and continues the City of Citrus Heights commitment to providing educational incentives staff development in certain police positions.

This is a technical correction to a benefit that was intended to be provided to these classifications which was already budgeted for in the Police Department budget.

Fiscal Impact
The annual cost of implementing this benefit if all eligible staff members in the classifications were to participate at the maximum rate is $14,719. However, during the creation of the classifications the education pay benefit was included in the Police Departments annual cost. No additional appropriation is requested.

Background and Analysis
The Police Services Supervisor and Police Services Manager classifications were created to oversee various units in the Police Department. When the Police Services Supervisor and Police Services Manager classifications were created it was intended that these positions were comparable to the Police Communication Supervisor classification and should receive comparable benefits. For the two Police Services Supervisor positions and one Police Services Manager, the maximum education incentive will be a maximum of 5%.

Of the two Police Services Supervisors and one Police Services Manager, one would be eligible to receive the 2.5% for an AA degree, one would be eligible to receive the 5% for an AA, and BS degrees base incentive pay.

Staff recommends the City Council add the education incentive benefit for the non-represented classifications of Police Services Supervisor and Police Services Manager as follows:

• Maximum Education Incentive of 5% based on the following:
 AA/AS Degree or equivalent 2.5% of base salary
 Intermediate POST 2.5% of base salary
 BA/BS Degree or equivalent 2.5% of base salary
 Advanced POST 2.5% of base salary

BJECT: Strategic Planning Objectives Update
Summary and Recommendation
Since incorporation, Citrus Heights has placed an emphasis on strategic planning to prioritize its policies, programs, and services for the coming year. Every six months the City Council reviews the goals and identifies a list of objectives to support the core goals. Implementation of these objectives is how the City achieves our shared vision of a city of choice for residents and businesses to prosper and thrive.

On S
eptember 16, 2021, the City Council held their semi-annual Strategic Planning Session. At this meeting, six-month strategic objectives were developed for each of the following three-year goal areas:
• Maintain and enhance fiscal stability
• Maintain public infrastructure and enhance alternative modes of transportation • Diversity for a resilient economy
• Sustain and preserve public safety
• Enhance community vibrancy and engagement
The
City Council’s next Strategic Planning Session was originally scheduled for March 1, 2022.

At the February 10, 2022 City Council meeting, the Strategic Planning Session was rescheduled to Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. Since joining the City of Citrus Heights in late January, the City Manager has been learning more about the community’s needs and desires by talking with residents, our staff team and the City Council. Rescheduling the Strategic Planning Session allows for a more informed discussion on current issues and fuller participation. Staff are on track to complete the strategic objectives; the six-month updates are included as Attachment 1.

St
aff recommends City Council receive and file this update as an informational item.

BJECT: Public Hearing #3 on the Redistricting Process
Summary and Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council:

1. Re
ceive a presentation from the City’s demographic consulting firm, National Demographics Corporation (NDC); and

2. Hold a public hearing to review draft maps and receive public input regarding the composition of district boundaries; and

3. Introduce for a First Reading, read by title only and waive the full reading of Ordinance No. 2022 - ___, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights Adopting a Map Describing Five Council Districts Pursuant to California Elections Code Sections 21600-21609 and Amending Article II of Chapter 2 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code.

Fiscal Impact
Th
ere is no fiscal impact associated with this public hearing.

Background and Analysis
Ea
ch city with district-based elections is required to update (“redistrict”) the district boundaries every ten years, following the receipt of updated population data from each federal decennial census. The City is required to redistrict the district boundaries prior to the next election in November 2022. Although the City recently transitioned to district-based elections in 2019, the boundaries are based on the 2010 federal census, which means the City must now update the boundaries through the redistricting process based on the 2020 federal census.

Item 11
Agenda Packet Page 71
Subject: Public Hearing #3 on the Redistricting Process Date: March 10, 2022

Page 2 of 4 ends

Printed on Recycled Paper
This City Council meeting is the third public hearing for the redistricting process with a proposed district boundary map and an opportunity for the public to provide input on the content of the proposed map and proposed ordinance.

On February 10, 2022, the City Council held its first of four Public Hearings without maps to receive input from the public regarding district boundaries for Council Members. At the February 10, 2022 hearing the City’s demographer, NCD, provided a presentation on the overall population changes within the City according to the 2020 federal census data, and an overview of the legal requirements under the FAIR MAPS Act that must be considered when drawing district boundaries. Following the first public hearing, the public was given the opportunity to submit their proposed draft maps for consideration by the City Council with a deadline of February 17, 2022. Paper maps have been available to the public for submission and consideration during the redistricting process. No draft map submissions were received from the public by the February 17 th deadline that would have been considered at the February 24, 2022 public hearing.

On February 24, 2022, the City Council held its second of four Public Hearings with a draft map to receive input from the public regarding district boundaries for Council Members. Prior to the February 24, 2022 hearing the City’s demographer, NDC, provided a presentation on the overall population changes included in the 2020 federal census data and an overview of the legal requirements under the FAIR MAPS Act for drawing district boundaries. NDC found that the City’s current districts have a total population deviation – the difference between the most populous and the least populous districts – of 5.87%. This value is well below the 10% federal threshold where a map is considered population balanced, and thus the districts are not required to be redrawn to comply with the federal equal population requirement. Following NDC’s presentation, there was discussion by a Council Member concerning future population growth including the development of the Mitchell Village Subdivision with approximately 260 homes, and development of Sunrise Tomorrow (Sunrise Mall). In consultation with NDC, no additional maps were prepared following this discussion as no Council direction was given and/or no consensus from Council to draft additional maps was achieved. In response to Council comments, minor adjustments to the size of a council district may be made to account for future population growth if it is within that 10% threshold. The federal requirements prevent a city from grossly under populating a council district that has a future housing development that could potentially cause the total population deviation to exceed the permissible 10% threshold. Any future development that occurs within the next 10 years increasing the population will be adjusted with the next decennial census and subsequent redistricting process.

On March 3, 2022, City staff held a Community Workshop and the public was provided an opportunity to prepare and submit proposed maps for the City Council’s consideration. A total of five community members attended the workshop and discussions were held concerning the current Council districts and the 2020 census data. All attendees expressed support in maintaining the current Council District Map.

Proposed District Boundary Map for Consideration

The City’s demographer has considered all of the public input received thus far, including public testimony from the first and second Public Hearings, along with the most recent 2020 census population data. NDC has proposed one draft district boundary map that reflects the current district lines adopted on June 27, 2019, which meets the legal requirements under the FAIR MAPS Act. During this public hearing the City’s demographer will provide a presentation, and members of the public will have an opportunity to provide input regarding the draft district boundary map.

Criteria for Drawing District Maps

In accordance with the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (“FAIR MAPS”) Act, the City Council shall draw and adopt boundaries using the following criteria in the order of priority (Elections Code Section 21601(b),(c)):

1. Comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Federal Voting Rights Act (FVRA);

2. Geographically contiguous, to the extent practicable. A district is not contiguous if it includes areas that: (a) meet only at the point of adjoining corners, or (b) are separated by water and not connected by a bridge;

3. Geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local “community of interest” (socio- economic geographic areas that should be kept together) shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division;

4. Boundaries should be easily identifiable and understandable by residents. To the extent practicable, council districts shall be bounded by natural and artificial barriers, by streets, or by the boundaries of the City;

5. Districts shall be geographically compact in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations, to the extent practicable; and

6. Districts must not be adopted for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against a political party.

Redistricting Timeline and Next Steps

City staff has already conducted community outreach to increase public interest in the redistricting process.

The city has scheduled the required public hearings as follows:
