For ethnic populations we are concerned with the "Citizen Voting

Base ethnicity of the City shows 17%Asian and 60%tatino CVAP.
However, these populations are not evenly distributed , there are

Council discussion ensued.
Councilmember Benavides, asked clarification as to what action is before
the City Council and deadline to select map.
City Clerk Huizar, noted item is the third public hearing, four public hearings
are required under the elections code, City Council option to choose any or
all maps to be considered at the October 30th meeting, and City Council
ordinance adoption at the October 30th meeting.
Councilmember Benavides, asked if maps for consideration at the October
30th meeting would be limited to maps City Council selects at present
meeting and how potential of two Councilmembers living in the same ward
will be handled.
Consultant Mitchell, noted existing at -large election would carry
Councilmembers through 2020, new ward map would go into effect in 2020,
and City Council discretion to assign order of maps that will come up for
election in 2020 and 2022. Indicated probability that a blended City Council
would exist in 2020 as a result of Councilmembers elected by both systems.
Councilmember Benavides, confirmed decision to choose wards up for
election in 2020 would be made at a future date and not at the October 30th
meeting.
Councilmember Solorio, suggested settlement agreement may have
included a provision that required a specific ward to be up for election in
2020. Requested City Attorney Carvalho to advise if provision can be openly
discussed.
City Attorney Carvalho, confirmed settlement provision required a specific
ward to be up for election in 2020.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 42 OCTOBER 16, 2018
Councilmember Benavides, asked City Attorney to outline implications and
liability City would face if City Council does not approve a map at the
October 30th City Council meeting.
City Attorney Carvalho, advised Council's would be deemed to be in breach
of the settlement agreement if failure to conform to the terms and potential
consequences would be significant.
