City Council shall determine the proposed <br />steps, timing, criteria, oversight and public outreach for the City's 2022 redistricting process. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />That the City Council: <br />1. Determine if the City Council will oversee the redistricting process; defer the process to a <br />Standing Committee; or establish a redistricting commission, selecting from one of the <br />three types of redistricting commissions set forth in Elections Code sections 23002 and <br />23003. <br />2. Direct staff to prepare a resolution for the selection process and criteria for the resident - <br />led redistricting independent commission appointments. <br />3.

Provide further direction as the City Council deems appropriate for the establishment of <br />the City's Redistricting Plan. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On October 12, 2021, City Council received an overview of the procedural requirements for <br />redistricting the ward boundaries, the proposed plan for community engagement, and a tentative <br />timeline for establishing the ward boundaries. During the discussion, City Council directed staff to <br />bring back the criterion and options for determining alternative oversight methods to develop the <br />ward boundaries. City Council requested a comprehensive report on the three redistricting <br />commission methods outlined in Elections Code sections 23002 and 23003. <br />
