How Were District Lines Drawn?

The district boundaries were adopted by the City Council on April 2, 2025, following a public process that incorporated:

  • Legal criteria: equal population using 2020 Census data; compliance with the California Voting Rights Act; contiguity; and respect for natural and man-made boundaries where practicable.

  • Communities of Interest (COI): testimony and COI input describing neighborhoods, shared amenities, schools, and local concerns to help keep communities together.

  • Public participation: multiple public meetings/hearings, posted draft maps, and opportunities for written and spoken feedback before the Council selected the final map and election sequence.
