Greg Wade, City Manager, introduced the Item.
Doug Johnson, Consultant, presented a PowerPoint (on file).
Tracy Richmond stated that he still supported Map 202, that he had laid out his reasoning in his written submission, and that he could live with Map 102B if Council wanted to keep all of Santa Fe Hills in one district.
Vicki Driver stated that she was the President of Santa Fe Hills HOA and represented their preference, that they wished to be contiguous with other HOAs on the east side of the I-5 freeway, that members Santa Fe Hills HOA had written letters to Council in favor of incorporating all of the Santa Fe Hills HOA into one district but that would result in Santa Fe Hills being the only HOA in a district and not with any other HOAs, that they think it would benefit them to be part of a district with other HOAs even if it means splitting up Santa Fe Hills into two districts, and they are in favor of Map 202.
Council discussed concerns about not combining the Santa Fe Hills HOA into one district, the updated preference shared by Santa Fe Hills, Map 202 having the least variants of the maps under consideration, fewer changes to the boundaries of the existing districts from the 2018 map, that the benefits to Santa Fe Hills should be considered in picking a map, and Map 202 would provide that no district would be deferred from voting between the last and next elections.
Motion: Moved by Councilmember Zito and second by Councilmember Becker to approve.
Approved 5/0. Ayes: Heebner, Becker, Harless, Zito, Edson. Noes: None. Motion carried unanimously.
