Executive Summary In response to a threat to sue the City for alleged violations of the California Voting Rights Act ("CVRA"} (Elec. Code§§ 14025-14032} (Exhibit 1}, and in order to avoid the potentially significant litigation expenses that are likely to occur if the City retains its at-large election method of election, at the City Council's May 9, 2017 hearing, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-083 (Exhibit 2} outlining its intention to transition from at-large to district based elections. Pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(l}, on May 30, 2017 and June 13, 2017, the City held two public hearings to receive public input regarding the composition of the City's voting districts before any draft maps of voting districts were drawn. While not legally required, the City also held two public workshops on Saturday, June 10, 2017 for this same purpose. Based on public input, the Council's direction regarding the number of districts, and other legally required criteria, the City's districting consultant/demographer prepared proposed draft district maps for public review and comment. These maps, along maps drawn by members of the public that meet the population and other mandatory districting criteria, were discussed by the public and the Council at the City Council's June 29, 2017 hearing. This July 11, 2017 hearing is the second public hearing required by Elections Code section 10010(a)(2} to take public comment and discuss these draft district maps, as well as additional maps submitted by the public after the deadline for the June 29, 2017 hearing that meet the mandatory districting criteria. Discussion On April 11, 2017, the City received a letter from the law firm of Shenkman & Hughes threatening to sue the City for alleged violations of the CVRA unless the City voluntarily converts to elections by district. The CVRA applies to jurisdictions, including charter cities, that utilize an "at-large" method of election, where voters of t he entire jurisdiction elect the members of the City Council. The CVRA was specifically enacted in 2002 to eliminate several key burden of proof requirements that exist under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 ("FVRA") (52 U.S.C. § 10301 et seq.) after several jurisdictions in California successfully defended themselves in litigation brought under the FVRA. The CVRA is tilted heavily in favor of plaintiffs' attorneys because after the removal of these federal burden of proof requirements, the threshold to establish liability under the CVRA is extremely low, and prevailing plaintiffs are guaranteed to recover their attorneys' fees and costs. Every government defendant in the history of the CVRA that has challenged the conversion to district elections has either lost in court or settled, and has also been forced to pay at least some portion of the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and costs; indeed, over the relatively short 15-year history ofthe CVRA, and only after an initial challenge to it was resolved in 2006, plaintiff public agencies have paid nearly $15 million to CVRA plaintiff attorneys (Exhibit 3). In sum, all CVRA cases that have been filed have ended with the defendant governmental agency implementing a district election system and paying some sort of attorneys' fee payment. In response to the substantial costs imposed upon cities and other public agencies in defending CVRA suits, in 2016, the California Legislature amended the Elections Codes to simplify the process of converting to by-district method of election and to provide a "safe harbor" process to protect agencies from litigation. Because the City Council enacted Resolution No. 2017-083 declaring its intent to convert to a by-district method of election within 45 days of receiving the Shenkman & Hughes demand letter, a CVRA lawsuit cannot be filed before August 7, 2017 {90 days after the Council's May 9 adoption of the Resolution). (Elec. Code§ 10010(e)(3).) The first step of the process in the City's conversion from its current at-large method of election to a by-district system was to hold two public hearings and receive public comment regarding the composition of the yet to be formed voting districts, before any maps are drawn. (Elec. Code § 10010(a).) These hearings were held on May 30, 2017 and June 13, 2017, and the City held public workshops on Saturday, June 10, 2017 for this same purpose. The City also allowed the public to submit input regarding district boundaries via an on line redistricting tool, provided by the City's districting consultant/demographer (National Demographics Corporation, or NDC), available at http://www.carlsbadca.gov/cityhall/clerk/maps.asp . Further background information relating to the districting process is available for the public on the City's website at http://www.carlsbadca.gov/cityhall/clerk/district.asp . At the June 13, 2017 hearing, the City Council directed the City's districting consultant to develop maps containing four districts, which results in the City retaining a separately elected mayor. The City Council made this decision based on the fact that the separately elected position of mayor was established by a voter-sponsored initiative in 1964. When drawing districts to present to the public and Council, the City's consultant considered several mandatory districting criteria required by federal law, as well as other permissive criteria under state and federal law. These criteria were discussed at the May 30, 2017 hearing, and are set forth in Resolution 2017-097 adopted by the City Council (Exhibit 4). Pursuant to these factors, the Council's direction and the input provided by the public, the City's districting consultant developed maps for public review and comment, which were presented along with eligible maps submitted by the public at the City Council's June 29, 2017 public hearing. The June 29, 2017 hearing was the first of two public hearings that must be held after the release of draft district boundary maps, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(2), and the July 11, 2017 hearing is the second such h~aring. The City's districting consultant will present all the maps previously presented to Council for review and comment, along with any additional eligible draft maps subsequently submitted by the public and posted on or before the July 4th posting deadline for today's hearing (Exhibit 5). Fiscal Analysis The costs of defending the City's current at-large election system in court would be significant due to the risk of having to pay the plaintiffs' fees and costs. Awards in these cases have reached upwards of $3,500,000. When sued, even the settlements reached by cities have included paying the plaintiffs' attorneys fees. If the City Council chooses to maintain its at-large elections and defend the threatened lawsuit, the costs and attorneys' fees would likely exceed $1,000,000. The demographic consultant cost is anticipated to be approximately $35,000. Special counsel fees required to voluntarily convert to district elections are estimated to be $30,000. Additional legal costs will be incurred for additional analysis and public hearings. The City's good faith and considered approach to by-district elections may forestall further threats and demands for attorneys' fees, but other jurisdictions have suffered such demands even after initiating such efforts. Next Steps One more public hearing will be held concerning the proposed district boundaries on July 18, 2017, where the City Council may introduce for first reading an ordinance establishing the district boundaries and the by-district election method pursuant to Government Code section 34886 and Elections Code section 10010. The district boundary map adopted by this ordinance must be receieved and publically posted on or before July 11, 2017. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) The requested action is not a project within the definition of the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, section 15378(a) since the action has no potential for resulting in either a direct change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the environment. Public Notification Prior to this hearing, the City conducted outreach in both English and Spanish to encourage public participation in both the districting process in general, and this public hearing in particular .. A press release was issued and posted on the City's website on June 30, 2017. In addition, staff held two community workshops (one at the Carlsbad City Library on Dove Lane and one at the Harding Community Center) on June 10, 2017. Notice of this Public Hearing was published in English and Spanish in the June 16 and June 30, 2017 editions of the San Diego Union Tribune and the June 23 and June 30, 2017 editions of the Coast News. Staff also published the Spanish version of the legal notice in the June 16 and June 30, 2017 editions of the La Prensa San Diego Newspaper. Exhibits 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

CALIFORNIA VIA CERTIFIED MAIL April 5, 2017 Barbara Engleson City Clerk -City of Carlsbad 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 Re: Violation of California Voting Rights Act Exhibit 1 28905 Wight Road Malibu, California 90265 (310) 457-0970 kshenkman@.shenkmanhughes.com RECEIVED APR 11 2017 CITY OP: CARLSBAD CITY CLERK'S OFF/CE i The City of Carlsbad ("Carlsbad") relies upon an at-large election system for electing candidates to its City Council. Moreover, voting within Carlsbad is racially polarized, resulting in minority vote dilution, and therefore Carlsbad's at- large elections violate the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 ("CVRA"). The CVRA disfavors the use of so-called "at-large" voting -an election method that permits voters of an entire jurisdiction to elect candidates to each open seat. See generally Sanchez v. City of Modesto (2006) 145 Cal.App.4th 660, 667 ("Sanchez"). For example, if the U.S. Congress were elected through a nationwide at-large election, rather than through typical single-member districts, each voter could cast up to 435 votes and vote for any candidate in the country, not just the candidates in the voter's district, and the 435 candidates receiving the most nationwide votes would be elected. At-large elections thus allow a bare majority of voters to control every seat, not just the seats in a particular district or a proportional majority of seats. Voting rights advocates have targeted "at-large" election schemes for decades, because they often result in "vote dilution," or the impairment of minority groups' ability to elect their preferred candidates or influence the outcome of elections, which occurs when the electorate votes in a racially polarized manner. See Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30, 46 (1986) ("Gingles"). The U.S. Supreme Court "has long recognized that multi-member districts and at-large voting schemes may operate to minimize or cancel out the voting strength" of minorities. Id. at 47; see also id. at 48, fu. 14 (at-large elections may also cause elected officials to "ignore [minority] interests without fear of political consequences"), citing Rogers v. Lodge, 458 U.S. 613, 623 (1982); White v. Register, 412 U.S. 755, 769 (1973). "[T]he majority, by virtue of its numerical superiority, will regularly April5,2017 Page 2 of 4 defeat the choices of minority voters." Gingles, at 47. When racially polarized voting occurs, dividing the political unit into single-member districts, or some other appropriate remedy, may facilitate a minority group's ability to elect its preferred representatives. Rogers, at 616. Section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act ("FVRA"), 42 U.S.C. § 1973, which Congress enacted in 1965 and amended in 1982, targets, among other things, at- large election schemes. Gingles at 37; see also Boyd & Markman, The 1982 Amendments to the Voting Rights Act: A Legislative History (1983) 40 Wash. & Lee L. Rev. 1347, 1402. Although enforcement of the FVRA was successful in many states, California was an exception. By enacting the CVRA, "[t]he Legislature intended to expand protections against vote dilution over those provided by the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965." Jauregui v. City of Palmdale (2014) 226 Cal. App. 4th 781, 808. Thus, while the CVRA is similar to the FVRA in several respects, it is also different in several key respects, as the Legislature sought to remedy what it considered "restrictive interpretations given to the federal act." Assem. Com. on Judiciary, Analysis of Sen. Bill No. 976 (2001-2002 Reg. Sess.) as amended Apr. 9, 2002, p. 2. , The California Legislature dispensed with the requirement in Gingles that a rminority group demonstrate that it is sufficiently la.rge and geographically compact L19 constitute a "majority-minority district." Sanchez, at 669. Rather, the CVRA requires only that a plaintiff show the existence of racially polarized voting to establish that an at-large method of election violates the CVRA, not the desirability of any particular-remedy. See Cal. Elec. Code § 14028 ("A violation of Section 14027 is established if it is shown that racially polarized voting occurs ... ") (emphasis added); also see Assem. Com. on Judiciary, Analysis of Sen. Bill No. 976 (2001-2002 Reg. Sess.) as amended Apr. 9, 2002, p. 3 ("Thus, this bill puts the voting rights horse (the discrimination issue) back where it sensibly belongs in front of the cart (what type of remedy is appropriate once racially polarized voting has been shown).") To establish a violation of the CVRA, a plaintiff must generally show that "racially polarized voting occurs in elections for members of the governing body of the political subdivision or in elections incorporating other electoral choices by the voters of the political subdivision." Elec. Code § 14028(a). The CVRA specifies the elections that are most probative: "elections in which at least one candidate is a member of a protected class or elections involving 'ballot measures, or other electoral choices that affect the rights and privileges of members of a protected class." Elec. Code § 14028(a). The CVRA also makes clear that "[ e ]lections conducted prior to the filing of an action ... are more probative to April 5, 2017 Page 3 of 4 establish the existence of racially polarized voting than elections conducted after the filing of the action." Id. Factors other than "racially polarized voting" that are required to make out a claim under the FVRA -under the "totality of the circumstances" test -"are probative, but not necessary factors to establish a violation of' the CVRA. Blee. Code § 14028( e ). These "other factors" include "the history of discrimination, the use of electoral devices or other voting practices or procedures that may enhance the dilutive effects of at-large elections, denial of access to those processes determining which groups of candidates will receive financial or other support in a given election, the extent to which members of a protected class bear the effects of past discrimination in areas such as education, employment, and health, which hinder their ability to participate effectively in the political process, and the use of overt or subtle racial appeals in political campaigns." Id. Carlsbad's at-large system dilutes the ability of Latinos (a "protected class") -to elect candidates of their choice or otherwise influence the outcome of Carlsbad's council elections. The elections of 2004 and 2006 are illustrative. In 2004, a Latino candidate - Ofelia Escobedo -ran for city council and lost. In 2006, two Latino candidates - Ron Alvarez and Roland Chicas -ran for city council and lost. Each of those candidates received significant support from Latino voters, but fell short of securing a seat in Carlsbad's at-large election due to the bloc voting of Carlsbad's majority non-Latino electorate. In fact, as a result of this racially polarized voting, Carlsbad appears to have had no Latino council members in its recent history. According to recent data, Latinos comprise approximately 13.3% of the population of Carlsbad. The contrast between the significant Latino proportion of the electorate and the absence of Latinos to be elected to the City Council is telling. As you may be aware, in 2012, we sued the City of Palmdale for violating the CVRA. After an eight-day trial, we prevailed. After spending millions of dollars, a district-based remedy was ultimately imposed upon the Palmdale city council, with districts that combine all incumbents into one of the four districts. Given the lack of Latino representation on the city council in the context of racially polarized elections, we urge Carlsbad to voluntarily change its at-large system of electing council members. Otherwise, on behalf of residents within the jurisdiction, we will be forced to seek judicial relief. Please advise us no later than May 22, 2017 as to whether you would like to discuss a voluntary change to your current at-large system. We look forward to your response. Very~s, Kevin I. Shenkman April 5, 2017 Page 4 of 4 .RESOLUTION NO. 2017-083 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL'S INTENTION, PURSUANT TO ELECTIONS CODE SECTION 10010(e)(3)(A), TO INITIATE PROCEDURES FOR ESTABLISHING AND IMPLEMENTING BY-DISTRICT ELECTIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS EXHIBIT 2 WHEREAS, the City of Carlsbad, California ("City") is a charter city, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, four of the members of the Carlsbad City Council are currently elected in at-large elections, in which each City Council member is elected by all registered voters of the entire City, with the mayor being separately elected by all registered voters of the entire City, pursuant to California Government Code sections 34871 and 34900 et seq.; and WHEREAS, Section 34886 of the Government Code authorizes any city to change to a by-district system or by-district system with an elective mayor without the need to put such a change to voters; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to move from its current at-large electoral system to a by-district election for members of the City Council in furtherance of the purposes of California Voting Rights Act; and WHEREAS, the City moves to make this transition from an at-large system to a by-district system in accordance with the new procedural rules outlined in Government Code Section 34886 and Elections Code 10010; and WHEREAS, the City received a letter threatening action under the California Voting Rights Act on April 11, 2017, less than forty-five (45) days before the date of this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the City will begin by working with an experienced demographer to assist the City in establishing maps for a by-district electoral system; and WHEREAS, before drawing a draft map of the proposed boundaries of the districts, the City will hold at least two (2) public hearings over no more than thirty (30) days, at which time the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts; and WHEREAS, the City will then publish and make available for release at least one (1) draft map of the new electoral districts, including the potential sequence of elections shown; and WHEREAS, once the draft map has been publicized for at least seven (7) days, the City will hold at least two (2) additional public hearings, over no more than forty-five (45) days, at which time the public is invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft map and the proposed sequence of elections prior to the public hearing at which the City Council adopts a map; and WHEREAS, if a draft map is revised at or following a public hearing, the revised map will be published and made available to the public at least seven (7) days before the City chooses to adopt it; and WHEREAS, in determining the final sequence of staggered district elections, the City Council will give special consideration to the purposes of the CVRA, and will take in to accom1t the preferences expressed by the members of the districts; and WHEREAS, the City Council now wishes to adopt criteria to guide the establishment of electoral districts consistent with legal requirements including reasonable equal population and section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act, as well as other concerns and considerations important to the City.

Sincerely, Steve Linke Carlsbad, CA 92009 Exhibit 7 June 30, 2017 Carlsbad City Council and Mayor 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 Re: Districting Dear City Council and Mayor: I submitted one of the districting maps for your June 29, 2017 Public Hearing ("Linke 1," see Attachment 1). I did not attend the hearing, but I just watched portions of it. I only spent around two hours working on my map, but I did try to carefully balance the populations, keep all school districts in the same Council district, use major roads or geographical features, keep various communities together, etc. And, somewhat by coincidence, all current Council members ended up in separate districts. While watching the public hearing, I saw the growing consensus around "horizontal" maps, like "Cohen- Flock 1," and the thought they would be more unifying. In contrast, my map combines the entire coast and lagoon areas into a single district. Obviously, my intent was not to create a "divisive" districting system, and I wanted to point out that I had an important rationale. If possible, I would like this letter to be part of the public record, in case I do not get the chance to speak at a public hearing. I will use "Cohen-Flock 1" as a basis of comparison, but I want to be clear that my intent is not to criticize the extensive work they clearly put into their maps. I drew a red line a bit east of 1-5 through their Districts 2 through 4 (see Attachment 2). Very roughly, the proportion of coastal voters west of the red line in each of those districts is about 10%. (In point of fact, to reach 10% in Districts 2 and 4, the red line would need to be drawn significantly further east, and actual numbers should be explored more closely.) The other -90% of voters in each of those three districts are arguably in more suburban areas well off the coast. And those voters likely have very different needs/priorities than those on the coast. So, it may be in a Council candidate's best interest to largely ignore the -10% of voters with very different interests in order to get elected in their District. (I am not saying that the coastal and non-coastal voters have completely different interests, or that all non-coastal voters have the same interests, but that may be true generally for several important issues.) As many of you may already be aware, there are basically two types of gerrymandering: "cracking" and "packing." I think it could be argued that splitting the southern coastal areas into three separate 10% interests in their respective districts could be considered cracking. On my map, I combined those areas into a more powerful 30% interest in a single district, added to the even more substantial northern coastal community within District 1. Perhaps it could be argued that this is packing, although I do not think that is the case here. In any event, I think you should try to seek a proper balance between cracking and packing that avoids gerrymandering, and I am not sure that the horizontal maps achieve that goal.

Vickey Syage Begin forwarded message: From: Vickey Syage Subject: Carlsbad District Maps Date: July 3, 2017 at 1 :01 :41 PM PDT To: carlsbad@NDCresearch.com Cc: council@carlsbad.ca .gov Hello All, I am a South Carlsbad resident and have been for 26 years now. I want to provide some feedback as a South Carlsbad resident, because so much focus of our City Council has been North Carlsbad based. We are geographically closer to Encinitas than the Carlsbad Village. For me, it's 4 miles to downtown Encinitas, and 10 to downtown Carlsbad. My kids grew up on Moonlight Beach. Many of us have children in Encinitas or San Marcos schools. We are Carlsbad by zip code, and some city services -such as road services, street lights, trash, and police protection. For some of us, our water is from the Leucadia water district. Most of us live within HOA's. So that being said, it's important that the voting districts honor our neighborhoods and sense of community. Following are the 4 criteria I consider most important when dividing us into equal population voting districts. 1. Honor the Elementary school boundary lines. Middle schools have multiple elementary schools feeding into them, and high schools have multiple middle schools feeding into them -so keeping the elementary school boundaries in tact, will keep the neighborhoods together as well as honoring the school district boundaries. This is HUGE for families. 2. Honor the HOA boundaries. In the South, we have more contact and more governance by our HOA boards than the City, so the sense of neighborhood is defined by HOA. We are the land of PUD's. 3. Provide at least 2 districts for the Coast -North and South. The coast is SO important to all of us. 4. Provide at least 2 districts that surround the airport -another HUGE Carlsbad issue. 5. Most ofus are used to our 4 quadrants, divided by zip code. Population distribution won't 1 allow for making those the district boundaries, but if 92010 could move further south to incorporate some of 92009, honoring school and HOA boundaries, you might end up with districts that look and feel closest to most voters' perception of the City Last but not least, it feels like if the districts are drawn around the current incumbents' residences, that we are gerrymandering. We can wordsmith all we want, but as a regular voter, it feels like gerrymandering. Thank you.

The Altamira 1, 3, and 4 communities and the Harbor Point HOA need to all be in one district. We all are affected by being next to the freeway, go to the same elementary school, etc. A natural boundary would be Poinsettia but never a minor neighborhood street like Camino de las Ondas. 1 Sheila Cobian From: Sent: To: Douglas Johnson > Tuesday, July 11, 2017 1:25 PM Kristina Ray; Sheila Cobian Cc: Subject: Celia Brewer; John Ramirez; Alan Fenstermacher; Justin Levitt -NDC Fwd: Draft Maps FYI -one more public comment just came in on the email: -Douglas Johnson Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: From: Patricia Amador Date: July 11, 2017 at 1:04:34 PM PDT To: carlsbad@ndcresearch.com Subject: Draft Maps -.ll Receive -Agenda Item # I I For the Information of the: CllJCOUNCIL . / ACM V CAVCC v Date ~City Manager V My opinion: Draft Map of Linda Schlesinger is the closest to giving each 'council district equal balance.

Voicemail on the NDC machine. 6/29 He is concerned about the Orange map because "on the extreme right" it cuts Rancho Carrillo "right in half," and "there is a desert in between one section and the other section." Linda Schlesinger Sent new map submission. Too late for agenda packet and presentation. 6/28 NDC processed the map so she can bring it and present it in person. Trudie Stapleton I recommend the "Cohen-Flock 2" map. It illustrates a logical and visual 6/26 view of 4 sensibly defined districts within the City of Carls bad. Most importantly I would be disappointed if "Old Carlsbad" is divided. Old Carlsbad, Carlsbad Village and the Barrio should be kept within one district. K. Cinciarelli Historically Carlsbad has for pmposes of planning, population, housing 6/25 been divided into 4 quadrants which are separated by El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Rd. It seems natural and fits with most of some of the criteria (except equal population) to have representatives elected from each quadrant. I reside in the NE quadrant. Specifically I do not want to see our neighborhood grouped with the downtown Carlsbad area as the needs are quite different. Everyone east of El Camino Real in the NE quadrant should remain grouped together. You should not just carve out a little chunk of streets, without notifying those residents. Please make sure my home address remains a part of the NE quadrant. John :Marshall Hello and thanks for asking for citizen input. My question is whether the 6/25 planning process includes best estimates for future populations in the proposed districts and their ethnic make up? Did the city provide projections/ numbers based on build-out in each district, with current projects and those undergoing the approval process? Robenson Ranch comes to mind with single family home, condos, apartments, some senior, as well as subsidized housing. Linda Sinclair In myopinion, the "Pmple" map prepared by demographers is the most 6/24 appropriate for adoption. Laura Drelleshak A small correction to your stats: My map "Drelleshak 1" actually has two 6/23 c, districts touching the coast, not one (districts 1&2), although district 2 only has a bit of the south end. Ronee Kozlowski After researching, talking with others and as to what is important to our 6/23 family we much prefer the Map CDhen/Flock No. 2. As part of Olde Carlsbad, Ridgecrest Dr., we totally identify to the Village/Barrio area. The areas East of El Camino Real feel almost like a different Gty to us as do most areas South of Cannon. Please take this into consideration. Shirley Anderson I vote for the ORANGE map. I would have preferred the 5 District 6/22 option that was first proposed.

From: Vickey Syage Sent: Monday, July 3, 2017 1 :02 PM To: carlsbad@NDCresearch.com Cc: council@carlsbad.ca.gov Subject: Carlsbad District Maps Hello All, I am a South Carlsbad resident and have been for 26 years now. I want to provide some feedback as a South Carlsbad resident, because so much focus of our City Council has been North Carlsbad based. We are geographically closer to Encinitas than the Carlsbad Village. For me, it's 4 miles to downtown Encinitas, and 10 to downtown Carlsbad. My kids grew up on Moonlight Beach. Many ofus have children in Encinitas or San Marcos schools. We are Carlsbad by zip code, and some city services -such as road services, street lights, trash, and police protection. For some ofus, our water is from the Leucadia water district. Most of us live within HOA's. So that being said, it's important that the voting districts honor our neighborhoods and sense of community. Following are the 4 criteria I consider most important when dividing us into equal population voting districts. 1. Honor the Elementary school boundary lines. Middle schools have multiple elementary schools feeding into them, and high schools have multiple middle schools feeding into them -so keeping the elementary school boundaries in tact, will keep the neighborhoods together as well as honoring the school district boundaries. This is HUGE for families. 2. Honor the HOA boundaries. In the South, we have more contact and more governance by our HOA boards than the City, so the sense of neighborhood is defined by HOA. We are the land of PUD's. 3. Provide at least 2 districts for the Coast -North and South. The coast is SO important to all of us. 4. Provide at least 2 districts that surround the airport -another HUGE Carlsbad issue. 5. Most of us are used to our 4 quadrants, divided by zip code. Population distribution won't allow for making those the district boundaries, but if 92010 could move further south to incorporate some of 92009, honoring school and HOA boundaries, you might end up with districts that look and feel closest to most voters' perception of the City Last but not least, it feels like if the districts are drawn around the current incumbents' residences, that we are gerrymandering. We can wordsmith all we want, but as a regular voter, it feels like gerrymandering. Thank you.

We are 25+ year residents of Carlsbad, in the Calavera Hills neighborhood. We have reviewed all of the proposed maps, and would like to give our recommendation to the Cohen-Flock 2 proposal. Our second choice would be Cohen-Flock l. We found that the maps submitted by the demographer show little to no understanding of our city, or had a different agenda in mind. Cohen-Flock 2 does the very best job of balancing communities of interest, retaining school districts, and offering representation to all of our diverse neighborhoods. The love these two men have for their city, along with their knowledge really show in their work. This map represents Carlsbad better than any of the others. We hope you will adopt Cohen-Flock 2.

My preference of the various maps is the "Linke 1" map. My opinion is that it maintains the Village and Barrio contiguity and it does not diminish or fracture the Hispanic vote, Additionally, it is drawn in recognition that all the residents of Carlsbad living west of the railroad tracks along the coast share a community of interest in that living close to the coast they desire to maintain the natural and environmental protection of the city's most attractive tourism asset. With regard to the phasing in of district elections my opinion is that it would be less disruptive to maintain the present schedule. Packard and M. Schumacher who live in Districts 2 and 4, respectively in the "Linke 1" map shall stand for election in 2018, along with Mayor. C. Schumacher and Blackburn will stand for re- election in 2020 in Districts 1 and 3, respectively in the "Linke 1" map. 1 Morgen Fry From: Sent: To: Subject: Hope Nelson Monday, July 10, 2017 6:07 PM Attorney; Council Internet Email; Manager Internet Email; City Clerk Districting All Receive -Agenda Item # ll For the Information of the: To: City Council Members, City Manager, City Attorney CITY COUNCIL ACM _LCA V cc ~,. Date :!JJ]jjCity Manager v7 Re: Carlsbad Districting I am a 17 year Carlsbad resident concerned about the district boundaries the City is in discussion about. It is my understanding the reason for districting is to ensure representation, particularly for minorities. That said, I also agree that a goal should be to keep communities of interest intact. Following that premise, I would support the map that does the following: 1. Keeps communities intact, for example, not splitting the Village/Barrio. Also, because the coastline is a community of a particular nature, the same should apply and the coastal area kept intact, preferably with one district, 2 at most. 2. HOAs, because they represent communities, should not be split between 2 districts. Elementary school boundaries should also be honored, since communities of interest are formed through schools. 3. The attempt to respect incumbents by drawing districts around them frankly disrespects the purpose of this districting process. It requires gerrymandering boundaries which would not be considered otherwise. The maps I find most satisfactory are Cohen Flock 2, Egeland 18, and Kubacki-1. I anticipate you will take these comments into consideration.

To: Council Internet Email <CityCouncil@carlsbadca.gov>; carlsbad@ndcresearch.com Subject: Districting map Good morning Mayor and Council, I have been studying the various maps presented by the demographer and citizens. I am happy to see so much citizen involvement. And I have tried to make a few maps myself! They are not as easy as they look! However, I wanted to give my input and have chosen a map made by the demographer. I like the "Green" demographer map for several reasons. 1. It allows all four council members to border the airport. In fact, I'd like to see that one parcel containing the airport to overlap into all four council districts (instead of belonging to just District 3) since it is in the middle of the city and it affects all of us in the city. 2. The map allows special interests like our coastline and downtown and barrio to remain as one interest keeping protected classes of voters together as much as possible (as per the California voting rights act). 3. School districts are kept together. Elementary schools and their corresponding high school districts should ideally not be divided. This is by far the best map that has been submitted to date. Please vote for the Green demographer's map.Attached. thank you.

I feel strongly that South Ponto region should be kept together. Coastal voting should not be divided into even smaller segments. The common interests are clear from the geographic point of view, protecting our beautiful communities coast lands,and the small numbers of voters should not be further divided. As for hearing from the residents in coastal south Ponto, I would like to suggest, as you have already done with Jean Camp's assistance, utilizing the forum of Nextdoor SanPacifico. We live in a very politically engaged community; however, it may be difficult to respond to events that we are unaware of. If there are matters that should be communicated to residents of these areas, this forum may assist you. We would very much look forward to being involved in shaping the future of our beautiful area! Finally, I wish to express my strong preference for the Ponto beach land that is currently being proposed for residential use. Please consider allocating this land for dedicated parkland. There is virtually no accessible parks in our neighborhood and my understanding is that the beachfront community is below what is mandated as adequate park areas. Once this coastal beachfront land is allocated to residential or commercial purposes, it is gone forever. The land is irreplaceable. As a park, it will add immense value and pleasure to tourists traveling here, to the community and the extended Carlsbad region as a whole . .

If we only have one council member looking out for the interests of coastal communities that means you have 3 council members looking out for the inland communities. Under our current at-large city elections all 4 council members must take into consideration what is best for Carlsbad as a whole. That will definitely change under districts -maybe not immediately but given time and a few election cycles, council members will vote on what their districts/voters want, not necessarily what is best for the city as a while. Collaboration between council members will be even more important under districts. Having only one voice/vote for a specific community significantly diminishes their voice as a whole. Having east/west districts ensures all council members have to weigh what is best for both coastal communities and inland communities. I understand we are viewing districts under how this impacts Ponto development, (which I think our interests are hurt by only having one coastal district), however once these maps are in place it is unlikely they will change significantly and we need to think lor:ig term. We need to make the 1 districts as diverse as possible so we keep council members as engaged as possible about what is best for Carlsbad -coastal and inland communities. Thank you Jean for forwarding and encouraging involvement! Kelsey Good morning everyone, This is tough decision since there is advantages and disadvantages either way. I personally think splitting up South and North Coastal region might be more advantageous for us. The City Council is pushing higher density mixed used units in Carlsbad downtown. We don't want the higher densities in Ponto. The disadvantage would be that we would have a smaller voting block and we might get less attention. Thanks, Farhad I agree with Jean that splitting up the coast will be a problem for us and for what we're trying to do. I'm in favor NOT splitting the coast up. Mike I actually do not favor Districting as a framework for City Council at all as you end up with only one City Council member who represents one's community and that Council member may or may not represent the interests of the specific community but rather goes to Council meetings with their own personal "take" on issues. When Districting occurs there is a predisposed concept that the City Council member is "speaking" for the community when that in fact may or may not be the case.

I am very grateful to you and will incorporate this into my decision-making. The issue of districting is not one the Council wishes to engage, but we have been put in a very difficult situation because of a demand letter from a lawyer who has been issuing the same demand letter to many of our neighboring cities (Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos). The demand states that if we do not shift to by-district elections, we will be taken to court. Past examples of this situation where cities do fight the demand have spent millions fighting the demand in court. Every single city has lost this battle. There is a full explanation available on the Carlsbad city website here ("Why District Elections" is a good place to start: http://www.carlsbadca.gov/cityhall/clerk/district.asp Thank you again for providing your feedback and I would be more than happy to answer any further questions you might have.

You are the only member we trust. With regard to the council districts, we have two thoughts: 1. Our area, the most southwest portion of the city (Ponto) should definitely be kept intact as a voting district. We are a single neighborhood. Moreover, the entire coastal region should be kept together. Our area has never had a voice in the city council (until you were elected) because council members live in, and are more interested in protecting, other areas of the city (again, you are the exception). Obviously, our area needs a voice in light of the Ponto development. The only way we can have a voice is to keep our area together. 2. At a time when the United States Supreme Court is set to hear a case challenging political gerrymandering, why is the Carlsbad City Counsel getting into this issue? The City Council is setting itself up for litigation.

Finally, I wish to express my strong preference for the Ponto beach land that is currently being proposed for residential use. Please consider allocating this land for dedicated parkland. There is virtually no accessible parks in our neighborhood and my understanding is that the beachfront community is below what is mandated as adequate park areas. Once this coastal beachfront land is allocated to residential or commercial purposes, it is gone forever. The land is irreplaceable. As a park, it will add immense value and pleasure to tourists traveling here, to the community and the extended Carlsbad region as a whole.

First, I only saw these three new options on the Next Door forwarded email from Cori, and though I tried, I could not locate them on the City's website. From the original maps that were presented, we liked two of the public submissions, Cohen-Flock 1 and Hawney 1. My whole family reviewed these three new options and our preference is the one that gives all four districts a boundary from coast to inland and separates Ponto. I disagree with Cori's assertion that an inland voting block will detrimental to Coastal Carlsbad. And that the citizens of Carlsbad will not vote for something that benefits the coast, and the coast will lose in a voting block. As citizens, we are only voting by districts for the members and we will be voting city wide for the initiatives. My family has owned commercial land on Carlsbad Village Drive (Elm Ave) since mid 70's, and my husband and I bought our home here in 1998. We have watched the citizens of Carlsbad band together for the benefit of Carlsbad many, many times. I tend to disagree a lot with past and present council members visions for Carlsbad, so I prefer to read everything before I make up my mind. I like how Cori researches outside of what is required of her, and her dedication for the best option for Carlsbad is admirable. Of course, my whole family voted for Cori, and would happily do so again. But in this matter, we disagree with her preference for the district boundaries.

June 29, 2017 Dear Mayor and City Council, The Carlsbad Research Center Owners Association Board of Directors has reviewed the subject agenda item and has the following comments and concerns. Because the business park (CRC and all the other parks in the City) represent a large and important part of the business engine that contributes to the success of the City we believe fragmenting political representation for those areas should be thoroughly understood before moving forward with creation of voting districts. The unique situation businesses and property owners in CRC face in this case is that since there is no significant residential area (i.e. voters) within the boundaries of the park, the residential areas within any new district which includes the park will have an influence on the elected officials and their policies regarding the park. To fragment this representation will no doubt complicate the relationships between the business parks owners, tenants and activities; and the voters. As you know there can be potential conflicts in land uses within communities. Business parks involve activities and priorities that are different than residential areas. We are concerned that an imbalance in fair representation would be created by dividing CRC into multiple voting districts. We oppose any district creation that separates the geographic integrity of the Carlsbad Research Center and urge the City Council to carefully evaluate the political implications of doing so. Some of the district configuration options shown divide the park into segments. We believe existing land use and land use continuity within the districts should be considered when creating boundaries. The long term implications warrant your serious attention.

I am disheartened because our City population is so small and I have enjoyed voting for all members investing in the entire City. I also wish to believe our city is not discriminatory. The fact that I will only be able to vote for 2 people on a 5 member Council that should have our entire City in its focus is unfortunate. It is too bad smaller cities are not exempt from this situation. I recently reviewed the City web site and saw the Council meeting on TV that started addressing this issue. Also, Tammy from the City Clerk's office was very helpful and informative. This is helpful information as I can not attend meetings easily because I am a full-time caregiver for my 92 year old Mom. Anyway, since the City needs to go in this direction, here are my comments. In reviewing all the maps, I believe it is very important that the SW area I live in includes a District that incorporates both the lagoon, ocean and the airport. The following public maps accomplish this: Mead 1 (District 3), Egeland lb (District 3), Cohen- Flock 2 (District 3), Kubachi 1 (District 3 NEEDS to include AIRPORT). I do not like Hawney 1, Cohen-Flock 1 ( the District 4 is very narrow by SW Batiquitos lagoon), Linke 1 (District 1 has all the ocean), LSchlesinger (District 3 needs to include the airport) I do not like the Consultant Maps especially the Green, Purple, Yellow maps. Orange map maybe if included airport in SW District. It appears the Consultant maps do not include the airport in the southwest District. Please be advised, in the last 2-3 years this area is heavily impacted by southern take off airport traffic and landing flight patterns, and banner planes' flight paths!. .. mostly directly over my house at 7331 Lantana Terrace! (My concern on the airport will be sent later to you, Board of Supervisors, FAA etc. regarding increased noise and safety concerns as I am currently compiling my photos and information). I wish you luck in this endeavor of determining voting districts as I am sure it is very challenging. Thank you for all your efforts in keeping Carlsbad a great place to live. Please continue to work together and not become divisive or focused on special interests due to districting requirements.
