Following the public hearing, the City Council may select a district map for implementation by introducing an ordinance. Two ordinances are provided for City Council consideration. Attachment E is an Ordinance adopting Map 7-013d and Attachment F is an Ordinance adopting Map 7-021c. Both ordinances result in the City changing to a district election and adoption of either ordinance requires a second reading scheduled for the March 25, 2019 City Council meeting. If desired, the City Council may adopt the Ordinance in Attachment E with Map 7-013e or Map 7-013f instead of Map 7-013d. Similarly, the City Council may adopt the Ordinance in Attachment F with Map 7- 021d instead of Map 7-021c. However, if the City Council makes further changes to the district plan prior to the ordinance introduction, there will need to be an additional public hearing in order for the seven- day posting requirement to be satisfied.
