RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Inclusiveness, Community Engagement, and Governmental Processes Committee: 1. Receive and file an update on the Reshape Riverside Redistricting Plan; 2. Consider "Community of Interest Testimony"' and Draft Redistricting Maps; 3. Direct Redistricting Partners (the City's contracted demographer) to make revisions or adjustments to any of the map submissions; and 4. Select a map or maps to refer to City Council for further deliberation; or 5. Provide further direction to Redistricting Partners and City staff as the Inclusiveness, Community Engagement, and Governmental Processes Committee deems appropriate while implementing the City's Reshape Riverside Redistricting Plan. BACKGROUND: Section 402 of the Riverside City Charter requires the City Council, by ordinance, to divide the city boundaries into seven wards, review the boundary limits of the wards every ten years, and adjust, by ordinance, those boundaries to provide for a substantially equal number of residents in each Ward. The City must adopt the adjusted ward boundaries no later than August 2023. On January 11, 2022, after considering various redistricting approaches, the City Council determined that the Inclusiveness, Community Engagement, and Governmental Processes Committee (ICGC) should oversee and advise staff on the Redistricting process and approved the tentative timeline for the City's Reshape Riverside Redistricting Outreach Plan.
