34886. The City Council subsequently held five public hearings to solicit feedback and review City Council district maps submitted by the public. On July 16, 2018, the City Council introduced and on July 30, 2018, adopted Ordinance 2018-05, selecting a preferred map and election sequence for the newly created City Council District boundaries (“Districting Ordinance”).

Following the early resignation of a Council Member Warren Kusumoto, Ordinance No. 2020-02 was adopted to amend the Districting Ordinance to provide for the election of three Councilmembers by district in 2020, with two Councilmembers elected by district in 2022.

After the transition to the district-based election system, the City was geographically divided into five separate districts, each represented by one Council Member who was chosen by the electors residing in that particular district.

On May 17, 2021, the City Council approved an agreement with National Demographics Corporation, Inc. for Professional Demographer Services to assist in facilitating City Council District Map revisions.

The districts must now be redrawn using the 2020 census data and in compliance with the Fair Maps Act (the “Act”), which was adopted by the California legislature as AB 849 and took effect January 1, 2020. The deadline for cities with November elections to adopt the final District Map is April 17, 2022 (205 days before the election). If this deadline is passed, the County Superior Court will adopt the district boundaries for the City.

Under the Act, the Council shall draw and adopt boundaries using the following criteria in the listed order of priority (Elections Code 21601(c) for general law cities / 21621(c) for charter cities):
• Comply with the federal requirements of equal population and the Voting Rights Act
• Geographically contiguous
• Undivided neighborhoods and “communities of interest” (socio-economic geographic areas that should be kept together)
• Easily identifiable boundaries
• Compact (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people)
• Shall not favor or discriminate against a political party Once the prioritized criteria are met, other traditional districting principles can be considered, such as:
• Minimize the number of voters delayed from voting in 2022 to 2024 • Respect voters’ choices / continuity in office
• Future population growth
Redistricting Public Hearing #4

The City must ensure compliance with the following state and federally-mandated criteria:
• Each district shall contain a nearly equal population. • Each district shall be drawn in a manner that complies with the Federal Voting Rights Act.
• Each district shall not be drawn with race as the predominate factor in violation of the principles established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), and its progeny.

After meeting those requirements, the idea of districts is to achieve goals including respect for communities of interest. A community of interest is a neighborhood or group that would benefit from being in the same district because of shared interests, views, or characteristics. Possible community features include, but are not limited to:

A. School attendance areas;
B. Natural dividing lines such as major roads, hills, or highways; C. Areas around parks and other neighborhood landmarks; D. Common issues, neighborhood activities, or legislative/election concerns; and E. Shared demographic characteristics, such as:
a. Similar levels of income, education, or linguistic insolation b. Languages spoken at home
c. Single-family and multi-family housing unit areas
Public Hearings
By law, the City must hold at least four public hearings that enable community members to provide input on the drawing of district maps:
• At least one hearing must occur before the city or county draws draft maps • At least two hearings must happen after the drawing of draft maps • The fourth hearing can happen either before or after the drawing of draft maps • City or county staff or consultants may hold a public workshop instead of one of the required public redistricting hearings
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
• If a redistricting hearing is consolidated with another local government meeting, the redistricting hearing portion must begin at a pre-designated time • Local public redistricting hearings should be made accessible to people with disabilities

This was the first meeting held virtually before the City Council. Dr. Levitt provided the presentation on the redistricting process and this was the first opportunity for the public to provide input. There were no members of the public that wished to participate present and no written public comments were received. Council raised concerns regarding the ability to account for future population growth. A list of known planned and approved developments was provided to NDC for consideration. Concerns regarding the amount of available single-housing units in District 1 were also stated.

Public Hearing 2 – Monday, February 7, 2022 – 5:30 p.m.

There were no members of the public that wished to participate present and no written public comments were received.

Public Hearing 3 – Monday, February 28, 2022 – 6:30 p.m.

This was the third public hearing held before the City Council. Dr. Levitt provided the presentation on the redistricting process and permissible criteria to be considered to evaluate district boundaries. Dr. Levitt reviewed the four maps for consideration, one draft map submitted by the public and three draft maps prepared by NDC.

Frank Marquese stated support for the work the City was doing and. Maggie Marquese received clarification regarding Public Map 1 and NDC Map 1. She stated it would be challenging to split up the Apartment Row neighborhood. Shane Smith identified himself as the individual who submitted the public map. He expressed concern the socioeconomic data was not available on the public map drawing tool and supported participating in the process.

Council discussed the inclusion of Lily and Marna in District one, requested across the street neighbors be in the same district if population balance would allow for it, concern for the lack of single family homes in District 1, ensured new developments were taken into consideration, and stated a preference for not moving residents to a district that would prolong their ability to vote.

Channels of Outreach
The City of Los Alamitos leveraged a full array of outreach platforms to connect with the public. These included:
• The creation of the redistricting page on the City’s website, https://calosalamitos.civicplus.com/445/2022-Redistricting. The webpage contains all notices, flyers, Staff reports, presentations, and meeting recordings. Per the Elections Code the website must be maintained for ten years.

Redistricting Website
The redistricting webpage, http://cityoflosalamitos.org/445/2022-Redistricting, was created to provide extensive resources to the public where they could learn about the redistricting process, access all the materials and meeting information, and draw maps based upon their understanding of communities of interest and submit them for consideration.

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this fourth public hearing is to review and discuss draft maps of proposed districts that have been submitted by members of the community and by the City’s consultant National Demographics Corporation (NDC). The City Council will be requested to select a preferred map. Direction regarding the final map should not be given prior to opening Public Hearing #4. An Ordinance to adopt the preferred district will be introduced.

Draft Maps
Maps must be population-balanced to be considered for potential adoption. Resident submitted maps and draft maps were posted on the City’s website on March 3, 2022.

Notice advising draft maps were available was posted on the City’s Facebook and Nextdoor.com page.

Redistricting Public Hearing #4
March 7, 2022

Page 6 of 6 ends

The public submitted one map. NDC originally created three district sequencing scenarios for consideration by the City Council. Based off Council comments from February 28, 2022, NDC has prepared a fourth map for consideration.

Dr. Levitt examined the request to have across the street neighbors in the same district.

Due to the dense population in the Apartment Row neighborhood, it was not feasible to do so. Dr. Levitt of NDC will lead a review of the maps and answer questions.

Next Steps
Tonight the City Council will conduct Public Hearing #4, select its preferred map, and introduce Ordinance No. 2022-01. Following tonight’s Public Hearing, the final map and Ordinance will be adopted at the March 21, 2022 Council meeting.

The deadline to adopt a new map is April 17, 2022. If Council is not able to select a preferred map and/or requests additional changes this evening, the Public Hearing needs to be continued to a date certain. This will to allow time for further consideration and ensure compliance with all legal requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Election Expense Account, 10.511.5233.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 18, 2022 ITEM NUMBER: 3A
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Windmera Quintanar, MMC, City Clerk
Subject: Public Hearing to Receive Input from the Community Regarding the Redrawing of Election District Boundaries

SUMMARY
Every ten years, cities with by-district election systems must use new census data to review and, if needed, redraw district lines to reflect how local populations have changed.

This process, called redistricting, ensures all districts have nearly equal population. The redistricting process for the City of Los Alamitos must be completed by April 17, 2022.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Conduct a public hearing to receive public input on district boundaries; and,

2. Receive a report from Staff on the redistricting process and permissible criteria to be considered to redraw district boundaries.

BACKGROUND
The City adopted its current district boundaries on July 30, 2018, based on 2010 census data as required by law. The districts must now be redrawn using the 2020 census data and in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, which was adopted by the California legislature as AB 849 and took effect January 1, 2020.

Page 2 of 3 ends

• Easily identifiable boundaries
• Compact (do not bypass one group of people to get to a more distant group of people)
• Shall not favor or discriminate against a political party Once the prioritized criteria are met, other traditional districting principles can be considered, such as:
• Minimize the number of voters delayed from voting in 2022 to 2024 • Respect voters’ choices / continuity in office
• Future population growth
By law, the City must hold at least four public hearings that enable community members to provide input on the drawing of district maps:
• At least one hearing must occur before the city or county draws draft maps • At least two hearings must happen after the drawing of draft maps • The fourth hearing can happen either before or after the drawing of draft maps • City or county staff or consultants may hold a public workshop instead of one of the required public redistricting hearings
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
• If a redistricting hearing is consolidated with another local government meeting, the redistricting hearing portion must begin at a pre-designated time • Local public redistricting hearings should be made accessible to people with disabilities

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this public hearing is to inform the public about the districting process and to hear from the community on what factors should be taken into consideration while creating district boundaries. The public is requested to provide input regarding communities of interest and other local factors that should be considered while drafting district maps.

A community of interest under the relevant Elections Code for cities (Section 21601(c) / 21621(c)) is “a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.” Redistricting Public Hearing #1
January 18, 2022

Page 3 of 3 ends

Possible features defining community of interest might include, but are not limited to:
• School attendance areas;
• Natural dividing lines such as major roads, hills, or highways; • Areas around parks and other neighborhood landmarks;
• Common issues, neighborhood activities, or legislative/election concerns; and • Shared demographic characteristics, such as:
• Similar levels of income, education, or linguistic insolation; • Languages spoken at home; and
• Single-family and multi-family housing unit areas.

Next Steps
On February 7, 2022, the City Council will conduct Public Hearing #2 at a Special meeting to seek additional public input and provide direction on criteria to be considered while drafting district maps. Following that hearing, draft district maps and proposed election sequencing will be posted to the City website and available at City Hall.

Below is the proposed schedule for the Redistricting Process:

Public Hearing 1: Tuesday, January 18, 2022 – 5:30 p.m. (Regular Council Meeting) Public Hearing 2: Monday, February 7, 2022 – 5:30 p.m. (Special Council Meeting) Public Hearing 3: Monday, February 28, 2022 – 6:30 p.m. (Regular Council Meeting) Public Hearing 4: Monday, March 7, 2022 – 6:00 p.m. (Special Council meeting) Adopt District Maps: Monday, March 21, 2022 – 6:00 p.m. (Regular Council Meeting)

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Election Expense Account, 10.511.5233.

 Los Alamitos moved to districts in 2018 and used
districts for first time in 2020
 Redistricting is required when the decennial Census
data is released, once every ten years
 Delays in receiving the Census data have delayed states, counties, cities, and other jurisdictions throughout
California and the US
 New laws like the Fair Maps Act have changed how
districts are drawn and how the process is conducted

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: February 28, 2022 ITEM NUMBER: 9A
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Windmera Quintanar, MMC, City Clerk
Subject: Public Hearing #3 to Receive Input on the Draft Revised City Council District Boundaries

SUMMARY
Pursuant to Election Code section 21601, cities with by-district election systems are required to redraw their district boundary maps to ensure compliance with the California and federal Voting Rights Acts. The process to complete the redistricting requires a minimum of four public hearings and dedicated public outreach to ensure minority populations and communities of interest are aware of the redistricting effort and are provided with options to participate. The deadline for cities to complete the redistricting process is April 17, 2022.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Open the public hearing to receive public input on district boundaries; and,

2. Review draft maps to redraw district boundaries and provide input to Staff.

BACKGROUND
On May 11, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-08 declaring its intent to initiate proceedings to transition the City from at-large to district-based Council Member elections pursuant to Elections Code Section 10010 and Government Code Section 34886. The City Council subsequently held five public hearings to solicit feedback and review City Council district maps submitted by the public. On July 16, 2018, the City Council introduced and on July 30, 2018, adopted Ordinance 2018-05, with the Green for the newly created City Council District boundaries.

Following the early resignation of a Council Member, Ordinance No. 2020-02 was adopted to amend the Districting Ordinance to provide for the election of three Councilmembers by district in 2020, with two Councilmembers elected by district in 2022.

Redistricting Public Hearing #3
February 28, 2022

Page 2 of 5 ends

After the transition to the district-based election system, the city was geographically divided into five separate districts, each represented by one Council Member who was chosen by the electors residing in that particular district.

The districts must now be redrawn using the 2020 census data and in compliance with the FAIR MAPS Act, which was adopted by the California legislature as AB 849 and took effect January 1, 2020. The deadline for cities with November elections to adopt the final District Map is April 17, 2022 (205 days before the election). If this deadline is passed, the County Superior Court will adopt the district boundaries for the city.

Redistricting Public Hearing #3
February 28, 2022

Page 3 of 5 ends

The fourth public hearing is scheduled for a Special City Council meeting of March 7, 2022 at 6:00 p.m., at which time the City Council is expected to identify and introduce an ordinance to adopt its preferred map. That ordinance would then be adopted at the City Council’s Regular meeting to be held on March 21, 2022.

Redistricting Public Hearing #3
February 28, 2022

Page 4 of 5 ends

Community Outreach
The City has engaged in outreach efforts to inform the public about the process to redraw the district elections lines. The Public Hearing Notice for the hearings was published in English, Spanish, Korean, and Vietnamese in the News Enterprise. The notices were posted on the City’s website, on the posting board at City Hall, and posted to the City’s social media outlets including Facebook, Twitter, and Nextdoor.com.

The City’s website, https://ca-losalamitos.civicplus.com/445/2022-Redistricting, contains all notices, flyers, Staff reports, presentations, and meeting recordings. Before each public hearing an additional notice is published to the City’s Social Media sites. The information has also been included in the City’s Weekly newsletter.

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this third public hearing is to review and discuss draft maps of proposed districts that have been submitted by members of the community and by the City’s consultant National Demographics Corporation (NDC). This hearing transitions from the earlier hearings’ purpose of informing the public about the districting process and hearing from the community on what factors should be taken into consideration while creating district boundaries, to a new focus on the specific boundary lines of the draft maps.

Draft Maps
Maps must be population-balanced to be considered for potential adoption. Resident submitted maps and draft maps were posted on the City’s website on February 21, 2022.

Notice advising draft maps were available was posted on the City’s Facebook and Nextdoor.com page and sent to the local papers.

The public submitted one map. NDC has created three district sequencing scenarios for review by the City Council and the public. A representative from NDC will lead a review of the draft maps and answer questions. Part of this process will include looking at different scenarios and various ways to divide the districts.

Based on comments received at or in advance of the third Public Hearing, NDC will refine the proposed maps for final consideration during the fourth Public Hearing on March 7, 2022.

Received Comments
At the January 18, 2022 Public Hearing, Council raised concerns regarding the ability to account for future population growth. A list of known planned and approved developments has been provided to NDC for consideration.

At the same Hearing, concerns were stated regarding the amount of available singlehousing units in District 1.

No comments were received at Public Hearing #2.

• How well do the draft maps comply with the Fair Maps Act? • What do you like about (parts of) each map? What works in each option? • Council may eliminate maps, request additional maps or tests, and provide additional direction to the demographer
Following tonight’s Public Hearing, the initial draft maps and any possible new or revised maps will be discussed at the Public Hearing #4 on March 7, 2022.

On March 7, 2022, Public Hearing #4, the City Council will be requested to select a preferred map. Direction regarding the final map should not be given prior to opening Public Hearing #4. An Ordinance to adopt the preferred district will be introduced.

Adoption of the Ordinance is scheduled to occur on March 21, 2022, and the City Clerk and demographer will then work with the County Elections Division to have the district maps integrated into the countywide voting system. This adoption meets the April 17, 2022 deadline and the new district boundaries will be effective for the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election.

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Election Expense Account, 10.511.5233.

ORDINANCE NO. 2018- 05

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A

DISTRICT- BASED ELECTION SYSTEM FOR MEMBERS

OF THE CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, members of the City Council of the City of Los Alamitos are currently elected in at- large elections, in which each City Councilmember is elected by voters of the entire City; and
WHEREAS, on March 29, 2018, the City received a certified letter from attorney Kevin Shenkman of the law firm of Shenkman & Hughes asserting that the City' s at-large Councilmember election system violates the California Voting Rights Act (" CVRA") and threatening litigation if the City declines to voluntarily change to a district- based election system where each City Councilmember resides within a designated district boundary and is elected only by the voters in that district; and WHEREAS, the City denies its current at- large election system violates the CVRA or any other provision of law and asserts the City' s election system is legal in all respects and further denies any wrongdoing whatsoever regarding the way it has conducted its City Council elections; and
WHEREAS, while the City Council strongly believes that the interests of all of the City' s residents have been fully and fairly represented under the City' s current at- large election system, the City Council has concluded it is in the public interest to transition to district- based elections due to the uncertainty of litigation to defend against a CVRA lawsuit and the potentially extraordinary cost of such a lawsuit, even if the City were to prevail; and
WHEREAS, on May 11, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018- 08, declaring the City' s intention to transition from at-large to district- based elections pursuant to California Elections Code Section 10010; and
WHEREAS, the City retained an expert demographer to assist the City with the process of analyzing the City' s population, developing draft district maps consistent with the CVRA and the Federal Voting Rights Act, and gathering input from residents on the potential Council district maps; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with California Elections Code Section 10010( a)( 1), the City Council held two public hearings on May 29, 2018 and June 4, 2018 where the public was invited to provide input regarding the composition of the City' s voting districts before any draft maps were drawn; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with California Elections Code Section 10010( a)( 2), the 1330275. 1
City Council held two additional public hearings on June 18, 2018 and July 9, 2018 where the public was invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections; and
WHEREAS, at its July 9, 2018 meeting, the City Council selected its preferred district map, determined its preferred sequence of district elections, and directed staff to bring forward this Ordinance for its consideration; and WHEREAS, in accordance with California Government Code Section 34886, it is declared that the change in the method of electing members of the City Council of the City of Los Alamitos made by this Ordinance is in furtherance of the purposes of the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 ( Chapter 1. 5 ( commencing with Section 14025) of Division 14 of the Elections Code) and to implement the guarantees of Section 7 of Article and Section 2 of Article II of the California Constitution.
