• Working with the commission, committee, or City Council to build community engagement and participation with the intent of receiving public testimony on communities of interest and the metrics by which the group conducting the process should be evaluating potential redistricting plans. • Analyzing public input - whenever the public develops a mapping plan; be it via an online system, submitted directly in an open comment, or drawn on a napkin, that plan will be converted to the standard formats and datasets and be available on the commission, committee, or City Council redistricting website. • After decennial redistricting data has been released and processed, creating multiple draft plans that reflect the testimony from the public, commissioners, committee members and City Councilmembers in open hearings and any online submissions. • Once the redistricting has been concluded, working with the City and San Mateo County to transmit the plans in multiple required formats and work with staff on any technical issues. Consultant will construct for the City the following datasets: 1. Working with the City and staff from the County registrar offices, Consultant will create the GIS files necessary to define the external boundaries of the City, and the underlying precincts and their relationships with the Census TIGER files, identifying any changes and discrepancies prior to beginning the districting process. 2. For preliminary analysis during the period prior to the 2020 Census release, Consultant will obtain the 2010 Census Redistricting Data [P.L. 94-171] Summary Files and latest American Community Survey (ACS) population estimates. 3. Once released, Consultant will collect the P.L. 94-171 files, along with the necessary prison population redistribution that will be required for the first time in 2021. These population figures are reflective of the total population within the City utilizing the census geographies and is the basis for determining the actual population of the jurisdiction in any redistricting. 4. Most recent ACS dataset, including estimated total population and Citizen Voting Age Population (CVAP). This dataset is based on the long form of the US Census and statistical estimates which can be useful in both understanding how different communities might be growing, and the ethnic populations for the purposes of voting rightsclaims. 5. Any available data from public sources regarding neighborhoods, county areas or other geographies that can be utilized as a part of identifying communities of interest and may be a part of the overall districting process.
