SUMMARY: The District is required under the United States Constitution, the CA Constitution, the Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, the CA Voting Rights Act of 2001 and the CA Elections code to redraw voter district boundary lines based on data from the year 2020 census. Pursuant to SB 594, states that for districts “conducting elections in 2022… require a governing board to adopt adjusted division boundaries no later than April 17, 2022, if the board has a regular election to elect members of its governing board on the same date as the 2022 statewide general election.” As such, a final report shall be made by the commission to the District Board by the March 21, 2022 Board meeting and a Special Meeting of the Board will occur on April 17, 2022 or prior to that date to review and consider adoption of a draft resolution to receive a report and approve draft maps.
Staff has provided additional information and drafted a Rules of Procedure for your review and consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: The Board should review and consider adopting the MPWMD Redistricting Advisory Commission – Rules of Procedure and provide direction to staff on the names of communities of interest that should be invited to participate.
IMPACT ON STAFF RESOURCES: The General Manager, District Counsel and the Board Clerk will work closely with the demographers and the facilitator to coordinate meetings of the MPWMD Redistricting Advisory Commission and prepare all reports documenting the commission’s progress.
