Independent Redistricting Commission Agenda
The Independent Redistricting Commission follows a regular order of business that is specified in the Carlsbad
Municipal Code. The Commission may only make decisions about topics listed on the agenda.
Public Comment
Members of the public may speak on any redistricting related item that does not appear on the agenda. State law
prohibits the Independent Redistricting Commission from taking action on items not listed on the agenda. Comments
requiring follow up will be referred to staff and, if appropriate, considered at a future Independent Redistricting
Commission meeting. Members of the public are also welcome to provide comments on agenda items during the
portions of the meeting when those items are being discussed. In_ both cases, a request to speak form must be
submitted to the clerk in advance of that portion of the meeting beginning.

informational in nature or require action. The staff report about each item indicates the purpose of the item and
whether or not action is requested.
