Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On July 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors voted to establish a 5 member community-based Advisory Redistricting Commission and directed staff to solicit applications from the public.
Summary of Request:
Redistricting is a process that takes place every ten years, when census data becomes available. There are three methodologies for the redistricting process and on July 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the establishment of a 5 member community-based Advisory Redistricting Commission (ARC) and directed staff to solicit applications from the public. The members of the ARC must be residents of the County and may not be an elected County official, a family member of an elected County official, or paid campaign staff of an elected County official. (Cal. Elec. §§ 23001; 23002). The Board may set any other requirements or restrictions for membership to the ARC (Cal. Elec. § 23002). The ARC facilitates community input regarding redistricting for the Board, provides recommendations to the Board and receives direction from the Board. Selection of the members of the ARC can be achieved through each Supervisor recommending a member (not necessarily limited to their Districts) followed by a vote of the full Board. To date, the Board has received 8 applications for the vacant seats. The applicants are Clyde Peter McNamee, Janie Sheppard, Kyle Farmer, Brian Klovski, Deanne Pallesen, Mary Ziady, Javier Chavez and Paula Cohen. The applicants have been invited to interview with the Board during open session to briefly describe their interest in serving on the committee. Following the applicant interviews, staff recommends that Board make their appointments to fill the seats for the 5 member ARC.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Not to appoint applicants to committee; provide direction to staff.
How Does This Item Support the General Plan? The item is consistent with the General Plan as the General Plan calls for creating defined boundaries for each community.
