8.A. - Page 19 of 48 From: Rick Hunter To: GRP -City Council; MGR -Alex Khojikian Subject: Map 13j Revision Date: Thursday, April 4, 2019 9:38:24 PM Attachments: Screenshot 2019-04-04 18.22.28.rna Dear Mayor Bain and Councilmembers, Last week I submitted Map 13j, which was posted on the City's website on April 1. Although I thought the map was population balanced, the mapping software did not include a check on this, and it failed to be population balanced by a small amount, according to the required formula. When I learned of this, I made some fairly minor tweaks, and Alex Khojikian and the demographer have determined that revised Map 13j is now Population balanced. Because of the 7 -day posting requirement, the revised map was not able to be posted at this time, but I wanted to inform you of the revised Map 13j and summarize the changes. The following are the changes I made to population balance the map. Please note that I did not make any changes to Districts 1 (Redwood Shores), 3 or 4 (the majority Hispanic Citizen Voting Age Population (CVAP) districts). All of the changes were to Districts 2,5,6 and 7, to make the populations balanced according to the formula, as well as to align some blocks better with their neighborhood associations. The changes are: • 2 blocks between Clinton and Duane, move from District 2 to District 5. . 1 block at Hawes -Oak -Gordon -Redwood, move from District 5 to District 6 to align with the Roosevelt neighborhood. • 1 block at Alameda -Carson -Connecticut -Goodwin, from District 7 to District 6 to align with the Roosevelt neighborhood. • Several blocks at Maddux -Washington -Virginia -Poplar -Goodwin, from District 6 to District 7 to align with the Woodside Plaza neighborhood. You can review revised Map 13j online by going to the mapping software, hU:Hlexington.caliper.com/redwoodci , clicking on New Plan, and selecting the bottom one that says Revised Map 13j. Alex or the city's demographer may also know of other ways to access it. I am also attaching a screenshot from the mapping software. Map 13j, in both the original and revised versions, meets the goals of many councilmembers and community members, including: 2 majority Hispanic CVAP districts • 5 majority -minority districts in total population • Redwood Shores is its own district . Both Redwood Shores and Farm Hill are vacant and have an election in 2020 The fewest number of incumbents possible are paired, consistent with the above goals, and they are both on the same election cycle I look forward to your discussion on Monday, and thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Rick Hunter 344
