compact, and follow traditional governmental or community lines and natural / physical <br />contours of the district geography and input from the initial public hearings. <br />Maps that are created are provided in four formats: <br />• Printable 8.5x11 Mapping and Data PDFs for dissemination with meeting agenda <br />or posting on the public- facing website. These maps provide an overview and <br />will often show neighborhoods, significant landmarks or key facilities, but do not <br />go down to the street -level. <br />• Interactive online maps, like Google Maps, with the proposed district <br />boundaries, including the embedded data calculations for population, ethnicity, <br />and any other factors that are key to the district analysis. <br />• Shapefile and census block equivalency files for use by any GIS staff or members <br />of the public with GIS mapping capabilities. <br />Following the presentation of maps at the third public hearing Redistricting Partners will <br />take any information gleaned from public comments or elected official input to create <br />additional amended maps and engage in a process of selecting and finalizing mapping <br />options for the fourth public hearing. Alternatively, Redistricting Partners could continue <br />to collect public information and only create new versions after the fourth public hearing. <br />Under both the California Voting Rights Act and the Fair Maps Act, the final hearing will <br />be for a vote only on the map which has been finalized and published within seven days <br />prior to adoption. This mapping option will be produced by Redistricting Partners with <br />all the additional technical elements necessary for the final resolution. <br />Adoption/ Processing of new lines <br />Once lines are adopted, Redistricting Partners will work with the County Registrar staff <br />in order to complete the process and make new lines available for the next available <br />election. This processing includes: <br />• Documentation from public meetings, signed resolution <br />• Electronic PDF maps of new election district boundaries <br />• GIS Shapefiles for county staff to assign precincts <br />• Metes and Bounds legal document with written description of district <br />boundaries <br />
