Sonia Carvalho noted consultant hired to prepare these maps. Noted if there are <br />maps that want to be proposed and after consultant has reviewed, then legal will <br />review and render a legal opinion. If the consultant has elevated maps to a review <br />level, the consultant has reviewed for legality as well. <br />Councilmember Penaloza thanked the community for their participation. Wants to <br />see some community submitted drafts elevated to a proper draft number, which <br />would be 86656. Not supportive of maps cutting through neighborhoods, as in one <br />of the Viet Rise maps. Should run along major corridors to keep neighborhoods <br />intact. Provided input regarding data. Noted the various neighborhoods that should <br />be kept intact. <br />Councilmember Phan thanked the community and Redistricting Partners for the <br />participation. Is in support of removing all maps (consultant and non -consultant <br />maps) that do not have an Asian plurality district. Councilmember Phan motioned, <br />not seconded after discussion. <br />Mayor Sarmiento inquired if a majority council could not agree to a map by a 213 <br />votes what would be the next step. <br />Redistricting Partners consultant Paul Mitchell noted that the Fair Maps Act does <br />not require a vote threshold requirement. If a decision could not be made on April <br />17, 2022, then on April 18, 2022 any member of public could ask a court to take <br />redistricting from the city council at which time it is unknown what steps will be taken <br />by the court. <br />Clerk of the Council Daisy Gomez noted that the city charter requires a 213 votes. <br />Sonia Carvalho wants to know for certain the current maps meet a threshold <br />requirement. State law does not preempt the charter. Charter can make <br />requirements that are stricter than state law and this is what the voters have done. <br />Mayor Sarmiento is supportive of draft map A and A2 and provided input for areas <br />to consider such as neighborhoods that have a historic element. <br />Councilmember Mendoza clarified for the record that constituents requested for the <br />following to stay together: asian plurality, south, north, Sullivan neighborhood, Delhi <br />neighborhood. And have one member per ward. Also, provided input for map A and <br />A2 regarding Asian plurality. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Bacerra inquired about the deadline. <br />Clerk of the Council Daisy Gomez described the process for approving maps. <br />Redistricting Partners consultant Paul Mitchell noted April 17, 2022 is the state <br />deadline, not the county registrar deadline. They will allow time after that deadline <br />for the files to get to them. <br />City Council 20 1/18/2022 <br />
