AGENDA ITEM
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Subject: Supplemental Memorandum -Agenda Item No. 1: Minor Revision to
Voting District Map
Following the City Council's July 11, 2017 public hearing, where the Council directed staff to
prepare an Ordinance adopting the "Cohen-Flock 1" map as the City's voting district map, the
City has received comments from the public that a very small portion of the Terramar
Homeowners' Association (affecting 111 people) was not included in Voting District 2 with the
remainder of the Association.
In response to this concern, the City's demographer has prepared a slightly revised version of the
Cohen-Flock 1 map (attached to Exhibit 1) that divides a census block and moves these 111
people into Voting District 2 to keep the Terramar Homeowners' Association intact.
If the Council is so inclined, instead of introducing for first reading the Ordinance adopting the
original version of the Cohen-Flock 1 map, the Council may, at its July 18 hearing, instead
introduce for first reading the attached Ordinance adopting the slightly revised version.
Elections Code section 10010 states, in pertinent part, "[t]he 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." Here, the first version of the Cohen-Flock i map has been posted for well
over seven days before this July 18 hearing. The map will not actually be adopted until, at the
earliest, the Council's July 25, 2017 meeting, following a second reading of the Ordinance. As a
result, this revised version of the map -which was published on July 16, 2017 -will have been
published seven days before its adoption.
