Subject: District Map Tool Flaw
Dear Poway Mayor and Council Members,
I think there is a major flaw in the district map drawing tool. As I mentioned at the last meeting, I think the City
should make district boundaries intuitively obvious to residents. It would be obvious that main roads like Poway,
Twin Peaks, Espola and Community Roads could be key district dividers. Residences on opposite sides of main
roads could be in different districts. On the other hand, if an interior road is used as a district boundary, then
residences on both sides of the road should be in the same district.
I have attached a pdf file of the Garden Road area as an example. This map is part of the published map 114. The
map making tool only allows you to select Population Units and they are divided by roads where residences on
opposite of the road are in different Population Units. This means that if a district is drawn along Population Units
using an interior road, residences on opposite sides of the road would be in different districts.
This approach is inconsistent the City's major objective of keeping neighborhoods together. As shown on the
attached map, 218 Garden Road residences would be in a different district. This issue is also present in
communities around Twin Peaks Mountain and the Arbolitos/Palisades area.
It's not clear to me why the City must be constrained by Population Unit boundaries if they define part of a District
boundary. Why can't the City just manually redraw the boundary to include residences on both sides of an interior
street that defines a district boundary? Yes, it complicates the math a little, but I think it will make more sense to
residents.
Thanks for your consideration,
Pete Babich

Comments: Council Members, After reviewing the maps, I like map 116 the best. Having lived in Poway
for 38 years and participating in community development issues, I recall the past divide on issues
between north and south Poway. At one time this divide caused many items to be stalled/shelved due
to the inability of council to negotiate. It appears that map 116 is the closest to having each district
include portions of both north and south poway. Hopefully this will required each council member to
look at the entire community's needs, rather than just his/her district. Sincerely, Alan Dusi

I favor Plans 100,103 and 111
They preserve Garden Road Neighborhood and are fairly ethnic balanced.

Comments: I am excited for the citizens of Poway to have a more localized representation for all
areas of this fine city. I have reviewed each of the maps submitted so far. Rather than going
through each one of the maps for what I believe is a flaw with them, I will list several that I
believe would vote for Council members that would represent a full cross section of Poway's
citizens. Map # 127 I believe is the most relfective of Poway's attributes. Map #129 Is another
fair representation Map #s 107/111 are the same, but have different election breakdowns Though
all 4 are fine options, I do believe that map 127 most accurately reflects the distinct
neighborhoods of Poway.

My favorites are 125/126/127, which are pretty much the same. They keep the Poway Valley neighborhoods (around Pomerado
Rd, contrary to the graphic on the map) together, and they allow the relatively modest‐income neighborhoods good
representation. I like that the boundaries are clean and fit the neighborhoods. 114 came in a close second.
Thanks,
