Excerpt from Supervisor Bill Campbells newsletter regarding upcoming board action.
Supervisorial Redistricting Map- After hearing 26 members of the public speak about various map alternatives, the Board approved a supervisorial map as part of its 2011 redistricting process. The Board approved Proposal 21C, which I submitted for consideration. Proposal 21C includes the same revisions as the top rated Redistricting Committee plan (Proposal 21) and incorporates aspects of the second ranked Committee plan (Proposal 20B) submitted by Supervisor Pat Bates, and Proposal 21-1 submitted by Supervisor Nguyen. The approved map includes four split cities and a population percentage deviation between the most and least populated districts at 4.12%. The current percentage deviation based on the 2001 districts is 10.66%. Proposal 21C makes the following changes:
The city of Brea is moved into the Fourth District
The city of Buena Park is split at Western and Knot Avenue between the Second and Fourth Districts
The city of Irvine is split at the I-405 and Jeffrey to Bonita Canyon between the Third and Fifth Districts
The city of Garden Grove is entirely within the First District
The area of Newport Coast is moved into the Second District to make the city of Newport Beach whole in the Second District
The city of Fountain Valley is split at Warner Avenue between the Second and First Districts.
The Board will hold its second public hearing on Tuesday, September 6th to consider adoption of the final Redistricting Ordinance. For demographic information on Proposal 21C and to view the map, please click: http://bos.ocgov.com/legacy3/newsletters/pdf/Proposal_21C_20110822.pdf
