City Council Redistricting 2011
California Elections Code 21600 requires that following each decennial federal census, the City Council adjust their district boundaries. Districts shall be as nearly equal in population as may be and shall comply with the applicable provisions of Section 1973 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended.
At the August 23, 2011 City Council Meeting, the Council adopted the following criteria to guide the process of establishing the boundaries of districts.
