MEETING DATE: 9/06/17 PREPARED BY: Christopher Skinnell, Special Counsel via City Attorney s Office Risk Dept. Manager DEPARTMENT: City Attorney CITY MANAGER: Karen Brust SUBJECT: District-Based Elections/composition of Districts- First Public Hearing to receive input from the community regarding composition of districts to be established for district-based elections pursuant to Elections Code Section 10010 and Council discussion and direction to staff. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Open the public hearing. 2. Invite members of the public to speak on the issue of how the voting districts should be composed. 3. Close the public hearing when there is no more input from the public and direct staff to forward all public comments to National Demographics Corporation. 4. Provide input on the proposed Communication Plan. 5. Provide direction on the date, time and content of the proposed Public Workshop. FISCAL CONSIDERATIONS: The budget impact involving districting was discussed at the August 30, 2017 with a budgetary adjustment of $150,000. Additional work by the communications consultant is detailed in "Attachment C" at $8,500 which will be absorbed in the current contract. However, if additional communication optional tasks as outlined in the proposal are desired, it will require a budget adjustment and a contract amendment further funding. The cost of a public hearing has been considered in the prior budget adjustment. There is no additional fiscal impact. BACKGROUND: On August 30, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution 2017-82 declaring the City of Encinitas intent to transition from an at-large Council Member election system to a district-based Council Member election system, outlining specific steps to be undertaken to facilitate the transition and estimating a time frame for action pursuant to Elections Code Section 10010. Section 10010 requires a minimum of five public hearings in connection with the establishment of electoral districts. Pursuant to subsection 10010(a)(1), the first two public hearings are for the purpose of receiving input from the public regarding the composition of districts for by-district elections of City 2017-09-06 Item 10A 1 of 37

Council. The City is required to hold the first two (2) public hearings over a period of no more than thirty (30) days before any map or maps of the boundaries for the proposed voting districts are drawn. This hearing is the first of two such public hearings. The City published notice of all five Public Hearings required under Section 10010 on August 25, 2017. Council requested staff to bring back a proposed communication plan for public outreach and information on the project team. ANALYSIS: The purpose of this meeting is to inform the public about the districting process and hear from residents on factors they believe should be taken into consideration when creating the voting districts. Certain legally required criteria apply to the creation of the districts and must be observed. These are: Each council district shall contain a nearly equal population; A districting plan shall be drawn in a manner that complies with the Federal Voting Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause; and Each council district shall not be drawn with race as the predominate factor in violation of the principles established by the United State Supreme Court in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993). In addition to the mandatory criteria, other factors may be considered. Examples of such factors are found in Elections Code section 21601 and in judicial opinions. Some examples are: Council districts may take into consideration communities of interest; Council districts may take into account the boundaries of other jurisdictions within the City to the extent relevant; The territory of council districts should be compact and contiguous; Each council district border should follow visible natural and man-made geographical and topographical features to the extent feasible; Council districts boundaries should be drawn to mitigate geographical or man-made features that divide the City, such as freeways or topological features, to the extent feasible; Each council district shall attempt to avoid head-to-head contests between incumbent Councilmembers insofar as this does not conflict with federal or state law; Each council district should include public facilities to the extent feasible; and Each council district should include commercial interests to the extent feasible. The above criteria are examples only, and not necessarily applicable or appropriate for Encinitas. The public is encouraged to provide input on some or all of these factors, and may also provide input on other criteria not mentioned above, including Encinitas historic communities and the number of districts to be created. The Council will be informed by the public input, but it has discretion to balance criteria and choose to apply some, all, or none of these additional criteria, or may choose to develop alternative criteria that Council believes are applicable to designing a districting plan for the City. The next public hearing to receive and consider further input from the public concerning the composition of voting districts is scheduled for Wednesday, September 20, 2017. Public Outreach Plan Participation of Encinitas residents is highly encouraged both in the process of district mapping and public hearings. The City created a website accessible in both English and Spanish that provides information to the public along with options for creating district maps in paper form or by way of an interactive mapping tool. 2017-09-06 Item 10A 2 of 37

In addition to the website and mapping tools, a proposed communications plan (Attachment C) details the ways and means of public outreach for Council consideration. This plan outlines media releases, social media posts, website updates, workshops and public hearings coordinated by a predetermined media release schedule. The Communications Consultant, JPW Communications, will be providing media relations, social media coordination and media management within their current contract under the attached proposal. The proposed communication plan is presented for Council consideration and direction to staff. Project Team The project team is made up of the following: Professional Services: Special Counsel - Marguerite Leoni and Chris Skinnell (Law firm of Nielsen Merksamer Parrinello Gross & Leoni) Demographer - Douglas Mark Johnson (National Demographic Corporation) Jenny Windle (JPW Communications) City Attorney Glenn Sabine (Sabine & Morrison) City Staff working on multiple parts: Jim O Grady, (Consultant Project Manager) Jace Schwarm (Risk) Kathy Hollywood (City Clerk) Lois Yum (Staff Communications) Wendy Flynn (Information Technology) David VanPelt (Information Technology, Mapping) Megan Cervantes (Information Technology, Website) Roy Sapau (City Planner) ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no environmental considerations associated with this agenda report.

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION California Elec. Code 10010 If a jurisdiction receives a demand letter alleging a violation of the California Voting Rights Act, the jurisdiction has 45 days to decide whether to adopt a resolution of intention to move to district-based voting, during which the would-be plaintiff cannot file suit. If it adopts such a resolution, would-be plaintiffs cannot file suit for an additional 90 days. Letter received: July 20, 2017 Resolution of Intention adopted: August 30, 2017 The Elections Code requires that at least five public hearings be held during the 90 days: Two initial hearings, no more than 30 days apart, to receive public input. These hearings must take place before any draft maps are drawn. Two additional informational hearings to receive public input on proposed maps. Must take place within a period of 45 days, and cannot commence until draft maps have been published for at least seven days. A final hearing, after which the jurisdiction can vote to adopt a map. If a map is revised at or following a hearing, it shall be published and made available to the public for at least seven days before being adopted. 2017-09-06 Item 10A 6 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Process: Adopted Timeline Activity Timing First Public Hearing on Composition of Districts no maps September 6, 2017 Second Public Hearing on Composition of Districts no maps (w/i 30 days of first) September 20, 2017 Draft Maps and Election Rotation Published (at least 7 days prior to next round of public hearings) September 29, 2017 Two Public Workshops (one A.M. and one P.M.), not required by law September 30, 2017 First Public Hearing on Proposed Maps October 11, 2017 Second Public Hearing on Proposed Maps (w/i 45 days of first) November 8, 2017 Final Public Hearing and Consideration of Ordinance to Adopt Map November 15, 2017 End of 90-day Litigation Hold November 28, 2017 Implement Adopted Districts November 2018/2020 2017-09-06 Item 10A 7 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Process: Election Rotation To be proposed in connection with maps and set by final ordinance. Rotates in over two election cycles. No councilmember s term cut short (see Elec. Code 22000(e)), but When his or her term ends, an incumbent can only run from the new district in which he or she resides, assuming it is up for election 2017-09-06 Item 10A 8 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Legal Considerations Governing Districting 2017-09-06 Item 10A 9 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Drawing the Lines Legal Considerations: Population Equality Overriding criterion is total population equality (see Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964); Elec. Code 22000). Unlike congressional districts, local electoral districts do not require perfect equality some deviation acceptable to serve valid governmental interests. Total deviation less than 10% presumptively constitutional. (Caution: the presumption can be overcome!) Total Encinitas Population (2010 Census): 59,518 Ideal in 5-0 Plan: 11,904; Ideal in 4-1 Plan: 14,880 Redistricting in 2021. 2017-09-06 Item 10A 10 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Drawing the Lines Legal Considerations: Federal VRA Section 2 of the federal Voting Rights Act prohibits electoral systems (including district plans), which dilute racial and language minority voting rights by denying them an equal opportunity to nominate and elect candidates of their choice. Language minorities are specifically defined in federal law: to mean persons of American Indian, Asian American, Alaskan Natives or Spanish heritage. CVRA expressly adopts the definition of language minority. Creation of minority districts required only if the minority group can form the majority in a single member district that otherwise complies with the law. Bartlett v. Strickland, 556 U.S. 1 (2009). California Voting Rights Act is silent with respect to the shape of electoral districts, so long as they are used. 2017-09-06 Item 10A 11 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Drawing the Lines Legal Considerations: No Gerrymandering The Fourteenth Amendment restricts the use of race as the predominant criterion in drawing districts and the subordination of other considerations. Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993); Miller v. Johnson, 515 U.S. 900 (1995). Looks matter! Bizarrely shaped electoral districts can be evidence that racial considerations predominate. (See next slide, NC CD 12 stretched 160 miles across the central part of the State, for part of its length no wider than the freeway right-of-way.) But bizarre shape is not required for racial considerations to predominate. Fourteenth Amendment does not, however, prohibit all consideration of race in redistricting. Easley v. Cromartie, 532 U.S. 234 (2001). Focus on communities of interest. 2017-09-06 Item 10A 14 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Drawing the Lines Legal Considerations: No Gerrymandering 2017-09-06 Item 10A 15 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Legal Considerations: Other Permissible Criteria Topography. Geography. Cohesiveness, contiguity, compactness and integrity of territory. Communities of interest. Old Encinitas, New Encinitas, Olivenhain, Leucadia, Cardiff-by-the-Sea See Elec. Code 21602. 2017-09-06 Item 10A 16 of 37

POLITICAL & GOVERNMENT LAW ADVOCACY LITIGATION Legal Considerations: Other Criteria Approved by Courts Preventing head-to-head contests between incumbents, to the extent reasonably possible. Respecting the boundaries of political subdivisions (e.g., school attendance areas, city boundaries, etc.). Use of whole census geography (e.g., census blocks). Other non-discriminatory, evenly applied criteria (e.g., location of school facilities, planned development). Political considerations are inevitable. 2017-09-06 Item 10A 17 of 37
