Focus Map Selection
2 Definition of “Focus” Maps
Focus maps are highlighted in outreach materials and
meeting materials
Selecting focus maps . . .
Gives outreach materials more impact
Lowers the workload for residents who want to get
involved, do their research, and share their map preferences Shortens the presentation time at the start of meetings and forums, which gets to the public discussion faster

3 Focus Maps Status
The selection of focus maps is non-binding:
In a public forum or stakeholder meeting, residents may discuss and recommend any of the 29 population-balanced maps posted on the project website
In addition to sharing thoughts regarding whether or not the City should adopt by-district elections
The Council can ultimately adopt any of the posted maps as the map to accompany the district election question on the ballot, regardless of whether it was a focus map

Nearly identical districts 4/5/6 (106b) and 1/2/3 (122) • 106b is slightly better at avoiding small splits of Royal Canyon, Glen Knolls and Fern Lane • Between 2/3 and 5/6, 106b follows the 2 freeway, while 122 follows Fern Lane and Fox Hill Drive • Both have some odd zigs and zags in the small details in the south (which can be refined) NDC suggestion: include no more than one of these maps in the “focus” maps Highest . . .

Map 126 refined to avoid splitting neighborhoods among 1/2/6 while keeping the 3/4/5 renter focus:

Review and discuss draft maps
Select two or three “focus” maps
Staff will highlight those maps in outreach materials for upcoming public forums and stakeholder meetings
