City's consultant, Redistricting <br />Partners submitted proposed Map D-2 and Councilmember Solorio submitted proposed Map C-2, <br />which include slight variations to Maps C (C-2) and D (D-2) for City Council consideration. <br />The City Council held an Adjourned Regular Meeting on October 30, 2018 in which the City Council <br />by a vote of 5-0 approved Map D-2 and introduced an ordinance establishing proposed Map D-2 as <br />the new boundaries. The City Council deferred the sequence of election to the November 20, 2018 <br />Regular City Council Meeting. Legal Counsel has advised that in order to meet the requirements of <br />the Settlement Agreement the election sequence has to be considered along with the introduction of <br />the ordinance. Thus, staff requests that the election sequence be made part of the motion in <br />consideration of the Map that had been previously approved by a super majority of the City Council. <br />The second reading and final adoption of the ordinance will be scheduled for the December 4, 2018 <br />75A-1 <br />
