Discussion
At the Dec. 16, 2021, Independent Redistricting Commission meeting, the Commission
requested staff to place an item on the Jan. 27 regular meeting agenda that would allow the
Commission to discuss and decide on a method to narrow down and select the final City Council
district map.
As part of Item 3 on tonight’s agenda, the Commission will be asked to narrow down the maps
it will focus on at the public hearing on Feb. 17, 2022. Final map selection is anticipated to occur
at the public hearing.
Options
Staff has identified two possible options for how to proceed with narrowing down the number
of maps and ultimately selecting the map that would be adopted. These options are being
presented for discussion and are based on prior experience with similar processes. However,
staff would welcome any other suggested options to be provided by the Commission.
Option 1
For narrowing down:
• Each Commissioner identifies up to three maps they favor
• Based on the maps selected, staff will display the six maps that received the most
support from the Commission
• The Commission will take a vote on each map to identify the maps that garner majority
support to become the maps that will be the focus of the public hearing on Feb. 17,
2022
For selection:
• Each Commissioner identifies up to three maps they favor

support to become the final City Council district map
Option 2

•Any Commissioner may make a motion to identify a map to be included as a focus map
for the public hearing on Feb. 17, 2022, and with an appropriate second, a vote will be
called
•Provided the map receives majority support, the map will be included as a focus map for
the public hearing on Feb. 17, 2022
For selection:
•Any Commissioner may make a motion to identify a single map to be adopted as the
