7.A. - Page 14 of 36 Attachment B - Most Recent Community Feedback <br />From: Jordi Perez <br />To: GRP -District Elections <br />Subject: feedback on 5 selected maps <br />Date: Saturday, February 16, 2019 10:13:03 PM <br />Hi, <br />I was looking at the 5 selected maps for drawing districts. <br />Maps 7-007 and 7-013 include the area where I live (Madison between Sapphire and Quartz) <br />together with all the hillside areas. If any of these were to be selected, our area (between <br />Valota and Alameda) would basically have no voice, because we would be a minority in our <br />district respect to the hillside areas. In addition to being geographically different (Alameda is <br />quite a divide, flat vs hill, etc.), there is a significant socioeconomic gap, different school <br />needs and different overall needs as an example, (up in the hills people drive in and out of <br />their areas, wheres in our area people can and do leave their lives in the neighborhood -shop, <br />schools, community center, etc.). <br />The two maps from the consulting demographer are much better, for example the district <br />borders tend to run more parallel to ECR and Alameda. <br />I appreciate the effort from the citizens who did the maps, but my hope is that we stick with <br />the work of a professional that knows more about the topic, and is likely to be less biassed. <br />Best regards, <br />Jordi Perez Mariano <br />1827 Madison Av <br />127 <br />
