1 TO: City Council
FROM: Trevor Rusin, City Attorney, and Ryan Smoot, City Manager MEETING DATE: April 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Public Hearing #4 to Review Draft Maps, Receive Public Comments on the Maps, and an Ordinance to Transition to District-Based Elections Under the California Voting Rights Act
RECOMMENDATION
1) Open the public hearing to receive public comments on the draft maps; 2) After the City attorney reads the title of the ordinance, introduce on first reading an ordinance establishing by-district elections in the City, defining the boundaries via the selected map, scheduling elections within the districts; 3) Find the same exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act; and 4) Direct staff to schedule the second reading and adoption of the ordinance.
BACKGROUND
In recent years, a number of cities in California have been sued under the CVRA.
Typically, plaintiffs allege that the defendant city’s at-large election system has resulted in “racially polarized” voting, which is defined in the CVRA as “voting in which there is a difference . . . in the choice of candidates of other electoral choices that are preferred by voters in a protected class, and in the choice of candidates and electoral choices that are preferred by voters in the rest of the electorate.” (Elec. Code, § 14026 (e).) The lawsuits usually request that the defendant city transition to a by-district system. In a by-district election system, a council candidate must reside within an election district that is a divisible part of the jurisdiction and is elected only by voters residing within that election district.
Since the CVRA was signed into law, many local government entities have converted (or are in the process of converting) to by-district elections. The move toward by-district election systems is not surprising in light of the cost of litigating under the CVRA. For example, Palmdale settled a CVRA lawsuit for $4.5 million, Modesto paid $3 million to settle a similar case and Anaheim settled in 2014 for an amount reported to be possibly as high as $2 million. These numbers do not include the cities’ costs in paying their own attorneys to defend the lawsuits. In 2016, the California legislature adopted AB 350 Item No. PH 9a
CITY OF LOMITA
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
2 amending Elections Code section 10010 to cap the attorneys’ fees a prospective plaintiff may recover if a public agency adopts a resolution of intention to change to a by-district system of elections within 45 days following the receipt of a letter from that prospective plaintiff alleging a CVRA violation.
On January 18, 2022, the City received exactly such a letter from Southwest Voter Registration Project (SVRP) challenging the City’s current election system and asserting that the City’s at-large election system violates the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA).
This letter forced the City to consider by-district elections or risk litigation with SVRP.
On Febrary 28, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution of intent pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(e)(3)(A). The City has reached agreement with the SVRP to extend the period during which the City must transition from at-large to by-district elections in order to avoid being susceptible to attorneys fees claims above $30,000. It does not require the City to transition to by-district elections, but rather creates an arrangement where SVRP will refrain from filing suit so long as the City takes specific steps to intitiate and conduct the hearings required for a transition to by-district elections. If the City transitions to by-district elections according to the agreed upon schedule, SVRP shall receive a settlement payment of $30,000. If the Council fails to conduct the hearings as required, or chooses not to transition to by-district elections, SVRP would be able to file suit against the City and would not be capped at $30,000 in attorneys fees.
On August 16, 2022, and September 6, 2022, the City Council held the first two required hearings for the Council district formation process as required by State Elections Code 10010 and the California Fair Maps Act. The August 16th meeting was focused on the redistricting process, timeline, and criteria. The September 6th meeting focused on questions and comments from the public and the City Council on the district formation process.
A virtual public workshop was held by the City on September 15, 2022. At the workshop, a presentation was given covering the timeline, redistricting criteria, how the public can provide input, the City’s redistricting website, and the online mapping tool. The workshop has been made available for public viewing through the City’s digital platforms.
On March 18th the City held a second public workshop in the Upstairs Assembly Room of Lomita City Hall to provide a presentation on the Draft Maps, cover the remaining timeline, the districting criteria, methods to provide input, the City’s redistricting website, and the online mapping tool. Further, the City held a thrid public hearing on March 21, 2023 to receive public comments on the draft maps and provide direction to staff, with the final deadline for the community to submit maps being April 4, 2023.
Based on the input received through maps submitted to the City by the April 4, 2023, deadline, public comments received to date, and direction from the City Council at previous public hearings the City’s professional demographer has prepared four (4) proposed maps that were published on the City’s district formation website. 3 ANALYSIS
The purpose of this meeting is to conduct the fourth public hearing, receive public comments on the proposed maps, select a Final Map, determine “sequencing” of elections (which districts will have elections first), and then introduce on first reading an ordinance based on these determinations that provides for by-district elections.
Criteria for Establishing Districts
The drawing of districts is regulated by both state and federal law, including the CVRA and the Federal Voting Rights Act, which limits the criteria that may be used in constructing districts. For example, under federal law, districts may not be drawn with race as the predominate factor. (Shaw v. Reno (1993) 509 U.S. 630.) Further, under Health and Safety Code section 13846 (e) and Elections Code section 22000, districts must be drawn as nearly equal in population as possible according to the latest federal decennial census, and the districts must be contiguous. In establishing the boundaries, the City Council may give consideration to the following factors:
(1) Topography (e.g., rivers, mountains, cliffs, and lakes); (2) Geography (e.g., land use patterns, major roadways, and railway lines); (3) Cohesiveness, Contiguity, Integrity, and Compactness of Territory; and (4) Communities of Interest (e.g., homeowner’s associations, historic communities, school districts, and downtown areas).
The City’s professional demographer has crafted four (4) draft maps that are compliant with the required standards for City Council review.
Criteria for Election Sequencing
In choosing to go to district-based elections, the Council can choose to stagger the terms of the future districts per Elections Code section 10010(a). In preparing sequencing, the Council must consider the following:
(1) At the time of publishing the draft maps, the City must also publish and make available the potential sequence of elections (Elections Code section 10010(a)) (2) No term of office may be cut short (Government Code section 34873) (3) The Council may consider the expiration of terms of office in setting the election rotation (Government Code section 34878)
(4) In determining the final sequence of the district elections, the City must give special consideration to the purposes of the CVRA and must take into account the 4 preferences expressed by members of the districts (Elections Code section 10010(b))
The proposed order of elections takes into account the above criteria, is designated in the proposed ordinance, and indicated in the reports submitted on April 7, 2023, for Draft Maps #2 and #4. The City’s professional demographer has recommended that Council Districts 2 and 4 hold their elections in November 2024; and Council Districts 1, 3, and 5 follow two years later in the November 2026 election.
Environmental Review
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA (Section 21605) and CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(3) and 15378. Conducting public hearing for public input regarding transitioning to by-district elections and setting a schedule for future hearings meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
