The culmination of these two Hearings resulted in the discussion of the four (4) draft maps (Maps A -D) that were prepared by the consultant in addition to ten (10) entries received from the community as to their communities of interest, Exhibit 5. At the conclusion of the third Public Hearing, the City Council will select their preferred Ward Map(s) that will be included along with any other received from the public at the October 30, 2018 City Council meeting in which the ordinance will be introduced setting new Ward boundaries. 75A-1 Third Public Hearing regarding Ward Re -Boundary October 16, 2018 Page 2 The final meeting scheduled on November 20, 2018 will allow the City Council to have the second reading and adoption of the ordinance setting the new Ward boundaries. For reference purposes see Exhibit 1 for current Ward Boundaries and Exhibit 2 for the four maps being considered. The ordinance adopting new Ward boundaries will require five affirmative votes. A timeline of events is attached as Exhibit 3. Re -boundary Standards When deciding upon a proposed map, the City Council must keep in mind certain standards in order to comply with the law. The following are mandatory for any proposed map (see Exhibit 4): • The Wards must be as nearly equal in population as may be (Elections Code § 21601). Exact equality of population is not required for the Wards, but they should strive to create Wards that have a total population deviation of no more than 10% between their most heavily populated Ward and the least populated Wards. Gaffney v. Cummings, 412 U.S. 772 (1973). • Current Councilmembers shall not lose their current seat or allow a term limit reset for members that have served three consecutive terms of four -years each. The City Council may also rely upon the following "traditional" re -boundary factors when deciding upon a map pursuant to Election Code §21601: • Cohesiveness, continuity, integrity, and compactness of territory • Community of interest • Topography and geography Finally, the following are additional criteria which are also acceptable to consider: • Traditional boundaries • Preservation of core of prior Wards • Race may be a factor considered in establishing the districts, but it may not be the predominant motivating factor in creating the districts. Miller v. Johnson, 515 U. S. 900, 916 (1995). Race is a predominant factor if the legislature "subordinate[s]" other factors— compactness, respect for political subdivisions, partisan advantage, what have you—to "racial considerations." Id. The City held four Community Meetings throughout the City and received input including the need for additional demographic data. The consultant has provided data requested and has been posted to the City's website for reference. Staff has made the following efforts to encourages the community to be engaged in the process - notices sent via Nixle Alert, Facebook posting, emailed notice to all neighborhood associations, school district, board and commission members, and religious institutions; also published legal notices in various newspapers and translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean. 75A-2 Third Public Hearing regarding Ward Re -Boundary October 16, 2018 Page 3 The information has also been posted on the City's website located at http://www.ci.santa- ana.ca. us/coc/ward-re-boundary. asp Anyone may submit a comment or provide "community of interest" for consideration in the development of new Ward boundaries. A web -based platform is available to submit a "Community of Interest" and located at: https:Hsanta- ana.maps.arcgis. com/apps/CrowdsourceReporter/index.html?appid=76c69f1 d041842cd9c9eecd 7de9f05df All maps, suggestions and comments will be carefully reviewed and considered. Please submit on or before October 22, 2018 at 12midnight at ecomments(a)-santa-ana.org. This proposed re -boundary process is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15320 — Class 20 (Changes in Organization of Local Agencies) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, since it involves a proposed reorganization of the City Council Wards and does not change the geographical area in which previously existing powers are exercised. STRATEGIC PLAN Approval of this item allows us to meet Goal #5. Community Health, Livability, Engagement & Sustainability, Priority #1, Establish a comprehensive community engagement initiative exhibit to expand access to information and create opportunities for stakeholders to play an active role in discussing public policy and setting priorities. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Maria D. Huizar Clerk of the Council Exhibits: 1. Current Ward Boundary Map 2. Proposed Draft Maps A -D 3.

(a) A political subdivision that changes from an at -large method of election to a district -based election, or that establishes district -based elections, shall do all of the following before a public hearing at which the governing body of the political subdivision votes to approve or defeat an ordinance establishing district -based elections: (1) Before drawing a draft map or maps of the proposed boundaries of the districts, the political subdivision shall hold at least two public hearings over a period of no more than 30 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts. Before these hearings, the political subdivision may conduct outreach to the public, including to non -English- speaking communities, to explain the districting process and to encourage public participation. (2) After all draft maps are drawn, the political subdivision shall publish and make available for release at least one draft map and, if members of the governing body of the political subdivision will be elected in their districts at different times to provide for staggered terms of office, the potential sequence of the elections. The political subdivision shall also hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft map or maps and the proposed sequence of elections, if applicable. The first version of a draft map shall be published at least seven days before consideration at a hearing. If a draft map is revised at or following a hearing, it shall be published and made available to the public for at least seven days before being adopted. (b) In determining the final sequence of the district elections conducted in a political subdivision in which members of the governing body will be elected at different times to provide for staggered terms of office, the governing body shall give special consideration to the purposes of the California Voting Rights Act of 2001, and it shall take into account the preferences expressed by members of the districts. (c) This section applies to, but is not limited to, a proposal that is required due to a court -imposed change from an at -large method of election to a district -based election.

(e) (1) Before commencing an action to enforce Sections 14027 and 14028, a prospective plaintiff shall send by certified mail a written notice to the clerk of the political subdivision against which the action would be brought asserting that the political subdivision's method of conducting elections may violate the California Voting Rights Act of 2001. (2) A prospective plaintiff shall not commence an action to enforce Sections 14027 and 14028 within 45 days of the political subdivision's receipt of the written notice described in paragraph (1). (3) (A) Before receiving a written notice described in paragraph (1), or within 45 days of receipt of a notice, a political subdivision may pass a resolution outlining its intention to transition from at -large to district -based elections, specific steps it will undertake to facilitate this transition and an estimated time frame for doing so. (B) If a political subdivision passes a resolution pursuant to subparagraph (A), a prospective plaintiff shall not commence an action to enforce Sections 14027 and 14028 within 90 days of the resolution's passage. (f) (1) If a political subdivision adopts an ordinance establishing district -based elections pursuant to subdivision (a), a prospective plaintiff who sent a written notice pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) before the political subdivision passed its resolution of intention may, within 30 days of the ordinance's adoption, demand reimbursement for the cost of the work product generated to support the notice. A prospective plaintiff shall make the demand in writing and shall substantiate the demand with financial documentation, such as a detailed invoice for demography services. A political subdivision may request additional documentation if the provided documentation is insufficient to corroborate the claimed costs. A political subdivision shall reimburse a prospective plaintiff for reasonable costs claimed, or in an amount to which the parties mutually agree, within 45 days of receiving the written demand, except as provided in paragraph (2). In all cases, the amount of the reimbursement shall not exceed the cap described in paragraph (3). (2) If more than one prospective plaintiff is entitled to reimbursement, the political subdivision shall reimburse the prospective plaintiffs in the order in which they sent a written notice pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (e), and the 45 -day time period described in paragraph (1) shall apply only to reimbursement of the first prospective plaintiff who sent a written notice. The cumulative amount of reimbursements to all prospective plaintiffs shall not exceed the cap described in paragraph (3). (3) The amount of reimbursement required by this section is capped at $30,000, as adjusted annually to the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, United States city average, as published by the United States Department of Labor.
