SUPERViSOR
FIRST DISTRICT
February 9, 1977
- TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Tom Hamil-to2
SUBJECT: Redistricting of Supervisorial Boundaries
Prior to the Supervisory elections in 1978, I would propose
to accomplish the necessary redistricting as a result of
recent population changes and pursuant to County Charter
provisions (Section 5) and State lab: (Government Code Sectio 25000, et seq.).

Establish a task force'comprised of staff repre-
sentatives from each Supervisor's office
(presumably the Executive Assistant), Registrar of Voters, and.appr0priat.e Coirnty staff as selected by the Chief Administrative' Officer-. This task for or cornrnittee would be chaired by the fomer Registr of Voters, Charles Sexton, an.d seek any legal advic
.. as deemed necessary Zrom Co~znty Counsel.
2. Direct the task force to seek the necessary input from the various cities 5 key special districts p
. . . and community groups in a series of public meetings prior to their final recommendation to the Board of Supervisors .on August 16, 1977.
3. Direct that prog-sPess reviews be schedujed after the second month--April 12, 1977--for the Board's appro' of the criteria selection, and at the end of the fourth month--June 14, 1977-:for a complete status report.

Discussion:
In orckr to a.iroid the past difficulties in the redistricting
take the process out of the political arena by performing the necessary work in an off-election year, and under the chairmanship of the former Registrar of Voters, Mr. Sexton. This would provide a clear del-ineation of boundaries in all
districfs for supervisorial candidates well in advance of the 1978 election.

include cities, major special districtss, and community groups. Also, it would be my hope that each new district
wou1.d be designed to include whole poli-tical subdivision such as. cities (with the obviorrs exception of the City of
San Diego) and various local ccmmunities on a subregional basis, icec2 North County, Ez-st County, South Bay, etc.

TED M
I December 23, 1976 3:
Mayor Robert C. Frazee
City of Carl sbad
City Hall
1200 Elm Avenue
Carlsbad, Cal ifornia 92008
Dear Bob:
It is the intent of this letter to inform you of the proposed action by th
County Board of Supervisors to help lower the cost of housing.
On December 27, 1976, the Board of Supervisors is scheduled to amend the
text of the San Diego County General Plan to change the effective date of
Plan Amendments as related to subdivisions.
The specific action freezes the County General Plan as it exists on the da
of the filing of an environmental impact initial study or draft environmen
impact report for a proposed subdivision. The initial study or draft envi
mental impact report is an applicant’s initial submittal for a lengthy
environmental review and subdivision processing period. During this perio
a subdivision application is subject to whatever changes a General Plan
Amendment would have upon the particular property to be developed. Potent
impacts are project delay and, in some cases, abandonment of the project.
The Board of Supervisors believes that such impacts contribute to the curr
high cost of housing.
I wish to urge that your city consider taking similar actions to expedite
the processing of subdivisions to help reduce the cost of new housing.
indeed, changes in procedure can result in lower housing costs, then such
changes cannot help but benefit all citizens.
