Appointment Review
City Council historically reviews appointments annually and makes changes as needed and for the following events:

Review
Bi-annually
Appointments
Agencies requiring annual confirmation of appointees
(new, re-appointed, or no changes) i.e. SANDAG x
Reviewing any potential conflicts, changes in Councilmember schedules, or the desire to change current appointments. x
Term Expirations: Regional and Council Standing Committees (2 year terms) x General Election: Council reorganization of leaving and/or new members. x Regional Committees (Attachment 2)
Attachment 2 contains the City Council’s Regional Agencies which are appointed by Council. With the exception of the City Selection Committee, all Regional Boards/Committees/Commissions have a two-year term. Appointments were last made to these committees in January 2021, following an election cycle; therefore, these appointments do not technically expire until January 2023, following the next election cycle. Council may review appointments to these external agencies at this time and, if necessary, modify any current appointments. The Regional chart has been modified with each organization’s updates following an annual verification process, which was completed prior to this report.
Stipend/Compensated Appointment Positions (identified on Attachment 2) Certain agencies’ bylaws provide for a stipend paid for each meeting’s attendance.
Appointments made by a governing body of elected or appointed members to serve as an officer of a board for additional pay requires disclosure when the nominated member participates in the vote for their own appointment. Subsequently, pursuant to Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Regulation 18705.5, appointments providing additional compensation or a stipend of $250 or more, within a 12-month period, must be disclosed on the Form 806 (Agency Report of Public Official Appointments). The City complies with the requirements of the Form 806, which is monitored, updated, and posted by the City Clerk, including making updates promptly when triggered. This procedure allows the governing body to operate with the entire body present, rather than members recusing their participation for each individual appointment, which could risk the presence of a quorum needed to complete the appointment process.

Council Committees Review
Standing Committees (Attachment 3)
Council Standing Committee appointments are two-year expiring terms, thus, new appointments, or re-appointments, are not required at this time. The current appointments were made in January 2021 and can remain unless Council desires to make changes.
All appointments must be approved by a Council majority vote.

STAFF REPORT
CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Gregory Wade, City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 12, 2021
ORIGINATING DEPT: City Attorney’s Office
SUBJECT: Second Public Hearing - Redistricting Process
BACKGROUND:
On April 11, 2018 the Council adopted Resolution 2018-042 declaring the City of Solana Beach’s intent to change the way the Council members are elected, transitioning from an at-large Council Member election system to a district-based Councilmember election system with a directly elected Office of Mayor. On July 18, 2018 the Council adopted Ordinance 488 implementing district-based elections for Council members. The districts were drawn based on the 2010 Census data, the most recent available. The 2018 plan was used in City Council elections in 2020.
Following every federal decennial census, local governments are required to engage in a formal redistricting process as prescribed by the California Elections Code. Elec. Code § 21601 et seq. The California Legislature passed a new law in 2019, amended in 2020 and 2021, called the FAIR MAPS Act which specifies the procedures and mandatory, prioritized criteria under redistricting must occur.
City has engaged assistance from Special Counsel Marguerite Leoni of Nielsen Merksamer Parrinello Gross & Leoni LLP and Demographers Douglas Johnson/Shannon Kelly from National Demographics Corporation to assist with the redistricting process.
The City conducted the initial/first public hearing on December 15, 2021.
The item is before the City Council to conduct the second of the required public hearings under the law after the publication of the draft maps.
2 nd Public Hearing
Redistricting Process
DISCUSSION:
Mandatory Redistricting Criteria
California Elections Code section 21601 requires the City Council to adopt district boundaries using the following criteria, in the following order of priority:
1. Council districts shall be substantially equal in population based on total population of residents of the city as determined by the most recent federal decennial census with adjustments required by state law pertaining to incarcerated persons. (Changes to state law now require that the California Statewide Database perform certain “adjustments” to the data to reassign incarcerated residents back to their last known place of residence, rather than where they are incarcerated.)
2. Council districts must comply with the United States Constitution the California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965.
3. To the extent practicable, council districts shall be geographically contiguous.
4. To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division. (A “community of interest” 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. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.)
5. District boundaries must be easily identifiable and understandable by residents.
To the extent practicable, districts shall be defined by natural and artificial barriers, by streets or by the boundaries of the city.
6. To the extent practicable, boundaries must be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations.
7. The Council shall not adopt District boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discrimination against a political party.
State law does not expressly prohibit other good government considerations for redistricting, such as avoiding to the extent possible the deferral of the exercise of the right to vote because of rearrangement of district boundaries, or a minimal change approach provided all statutory criteria are met.
Minimum Process: Public Hearing
Before adopting the revised district boundaries, the Council must conduct at least four public hearings:
• One before draft maps are released. (The first public hearing was conducted on December 15, 2021)
• Two after draft maps are published.
• At discretion when to hold a fourth public hearing but it must be presided over by the City Council.
2 nd Public Hearing
Redistricting Process
One of the four public hearings must be conducted on a weekend or on a weekday evening after 6 p.m. (a regular council meeting would fulfill this requirement).
The City has established the following schedule of public hearings for the redistricting process, all presided over by the council (note that the City Council conducted an extensive process of public hearings/ meetings just three years ago in connection with the establishment of its Council districts). The public hearings dates after publication of the draft maps are as follows:
Wednesday, January 12, 2022 at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, February 23, 2022 at 6 p.m.
This evening’s public hearing is the second of the four required. At the discretion of the Council, additional public hearings/workshops may be scheduled. These additional hearings/workshops may be conducted by staff or the City’s consultant.
Mandatory Public Outreach
The Elections Code provisions applicable to the redistricting process require the City to take steps to encourage residents, including those in underrepresented communities and non-English speaking communities, to participate in the redistricting public review process. Elec. Code § 21608(a). These steps include:
• Informing local media outlets, including those who serve language minority communities.
• Informing the public through civic engagement or community groups that are active within the city, including those active in language minority communities. • Arranging for live translation of a public hearing in an applicable language if a request for translation is made.
• Publishing the date, time, and location for any public hearing or workshop on the internet at least five days before the hearing or workshop. • For each draft map prepared by the city, publishing information on the total population, citizen voting age population, and racial and ethnic characteristics of the citizen voting age population of each proposed council district. • Publishing a draft redistricting map online, including population information, for at least seven days before Council’s final adoption.
• Receiving public testimony or draft boundary maps in writing and electronically. • Publishing in required languages procedures for a member of the public to testify during a public hearing or to submit written testimony directly to the City Council. • Publishing a calendar of all public hearing dates.
• Providing a recording or written summary of all public comments and council deliberations at each public hearing online.
• Maintaining a website dedicated to redistricting for at least 10-years post adoption.
Staff has complied with all these requirements to date. 2 nd Public Hearing
Redistricting Process
The public participation map drafting kits and submitted draft maps are available online at: Draft Mapping Kits
Deadline for Completion of Redistricting Process
The statutory deadline for the Council to complete the redistricting process is April 17, 2022, but earlier completion is advised, to ensure that the County Registrar is provided sufficient time to implement the new boundaries considering the statewide and countywide redistricting currently underway in numerous jurisdictions, all with deadlines considering June and/or November 2022 elections. After the deadline, the redistricting must be referred to the superior court for completion.
CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:
Not a project as defined under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City engaged the services of National Demographics Corporation to facilitate the redistricting process. The base price for the professional demographic services is $12,500. The total cost is dependent on the level of service requested by the City which may include meeting attendance, public participation mapping kit, etc.
OPTIONS:
• Provide instructions to demographic consultant regarding draft redistricting maps including number of drafts and any additional considerations after compliance with statutory mandatory criteria
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Receive Staff Report.
2. Conduct second public hearing.
3. Review submitted draft maps; and/or
4. Provide instructions to demographic consultant.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Department Recommendation.
