Reshape Riverside Redistricting Update • Page 2 Due to the truncated schedule, staff included an additional in-person meeting, the last community workshop within the City's current Outreach Plan on Saturday, October 29, 2022, On October 5, 2022, the ICGC conducted its second public hearing. During the hearing, the Committee received a report on the outreach efforts, received public testimony, and reviewed four maps introduced for their consideration. Two of the four maps (Draft A and B) were drafted by Redistricting Partners; a community member submitted Draft B via the DistrictR tool, and Draft C submission by the Brown and Black Redistricting Alliance. DISCUSSION: The post -map community workshops are underway throughout the city. The last community workshop will occur in person on Saturday, October 28, 2022, in alignment with the Reshape Riverside outreach plan. Public members submitted a draft map through DistrictR (Plan 8231 ID: 145275). However, the Committee may not consider this submission unless significant changes are made to ensure the wards have relatively equal populations. The Committee may consider providing Redistricting Partners guidance on changes to uplift the map as a draft for future consideration. Demographer Note: The map submission is unique as it uses the freeway as a divider between northwest and southeast Riverside. The total deviation is 15.4%. In response to public 001 testimony provided during the Public Hearing, Redistricting Partners submitted two additional maps, Draft A2 and C2, for the Committee's consideration. The Demographers narrative for the draft maps is as follows: Draft Map A: minimal neighborhood splits (Redistricting Partners) Draft A was created based on 001 testimony while maintaining as many neighborhoods as possible. Ward 2 has the least number of residents, with a negative deviation of 3.3%, and Ward 5 has the largest deviation at 2.5% Total deviation: 5.8% • 19 neighborhoods were kept together (Arlington South, Presidential Park and Arlington Heights were slightly split due to the neighborhood lines and census geography not lining up) • 8 neighborhoods splits • The 001 "South rural Riverside" as described in DistrictR ID: 141787 and the Equestrian Community from the 001 Form submission by "Anna" is kept whole • The majority of Casa Blanca was swapped from Ward 4 to Ward 5, which reflects 001 testimony received in public outreach meetings Draft Map A2: Casa Blanca kept whole Draft A2 keeps maintains the structure of Draft A, but was adjusted to keep all of Casa Blanca in Ward 5 at the request of the Committee and community members.
