File #: 22-0206
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
DATE: 03/02/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager’s Office - City Clerk
SUBJECT:
Public Hearing for the redrawing of Council Member District Boundaries.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Every ten years, upon the release of the decennial census data, the City of Corona must redraw its five (5) City Council districts based on the new census data and criteria outlined in State law so that the districts correctly reflect current populations. Conducting the public hearings will fulfill the requirements needed so that the districts are redrawn and are substantially equal in population as required by the United States Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court has generally defined ‘substantially equal’ as no more than a 10% deviation between the least and greatest populated districts. The City of Corona is currently in the redistricting process and staff is recommending that the 4th public hearing be continued.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council open and continue public hearing on the redrawing of Council Member District Boundaries.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
This action is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the City of Corona Page 1 of 2 Printed on 2/24/2022
