Reshape Riverside Redistricting Update • Page 2 On August 3, 2022, the ICGC hosted its first public hearing. During the hearing, the Committee received public testimony. It directed staff to add two in-person Saturday meetings to the City's outreach plan, to accommodate working members of the community who could not attend the meetings during the week. 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 C via the DistrictR tool, and Draft D was submitted by the Brown and Black Redistricting Alliance. On November 2, 2022, the ICGC held a public meeting to receive a report on the outreach efforts, heard public testimony, and reviewed six draft maps for their consideration. The maps are listed below with key factors noted. • Draft Map A: Minimal neighborhood splits (Redistricting Partners) • Draft Map A2: Casa Blanca kept whole • Draft Map B: Minimal changes (Redistricting Partners) • Draft Map C: DistrictR 141291 (Community Member Submitted) • Draft Map C2: Casa Blanca kept whole (Redistricting Partners) • Draft Map D: Brown and Black Redistricting Alliance (Community Member Submitted) After discussion, the committee voted to withdraw draft map C from consideration and instructed Redistricting Partners to modify Draft Map D, keeping the Arlanza Community whole. DISCUSSION: Draft Map D2, submitted by Redistricting Partners, is an edited version of Draft Map D (authored by the Brown and Black Redistricting Alliance), keeping the Arlanza neighborhood together. Slight adjustments were made to the adjacent Ward boundaries to accommodate the population change. Total Deviation: 5.8% • Eighteen neighborhoods were kept together (Presidential Park, Downtown, Eastside, and Arlington Heights were slightly split due to the neighborhood lines and census geography data not lining up) • While the Arlanza neighborhood is kept together, a portion of La Sierra Hills was split due to an oddly shaped census block. • Nine neighborhoods split Public members submitted five Communities of Interest (COI) testimonies for the Committee's review and consideration: 1. ID 159240 Northside 2. ID: 148396 8231 Modified 3. ID 149695 West Corner 4. ID 149694 Denbo1986 5. ID 149494 JLW01 Upon review, the Committee may consider providing Redistricting Partners some guidance on changes or to use (uplift) one or more of the 001 testimonies as a draft map for future
