Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance
Adopting By -District Elections for City
Councilmembers
Summary:
Following a properly noticed public hearing held on July 18, 2017, the Council adopted
Resolution No. 17-046 (Attachment A) outlining its intention to transition from at -large to
by -district elections, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(e)(3)(A). Pursuant to
Elections Code section 10010(a)(1), the City held two public hearings before the drawing
of any draft maps of proposed voting districts in order to receive public input regarding
the composition of the districts. Based on public input and the criteria for drawing voting
districts adopted by the Council, the City's districting consultant prepared several draft
voting district maps, which, together with eligible maps submitted by the public, were
presented to the Council and the public for discussion at its August 18 and August 31,
2017 hearings, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010(a)(2). At the conclusion of its
August 31, 2017 hearing, the Council directed staff (by unanimous vote) to prepare an
ordinance implementing by -district elections, including adopting "Map 133" as the City's
voting district map (attached as Exhibit A to proposed Ordinance No. XXX) and the
Council's preferred election sequence.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that Council allow any further public comment and then introduce for
first reading Ordinance No. XXX (Attachment C) implementing a by -district electoral
system, including adopting the voting district boundaries set forth in Map 133, and an
election sequence whereby Council Districts 1 & 3 will be on the November 2018 ballot,
and Council Districts 2 & 4 will be on the November 2020 ballot.
Discussion:
The California Voting Rights Act ("CVRA") (California Elections Code § 14025 et seq.)
was specifically enacted in 2002 to eliminate several key burden -of -proof requirements
that exist under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 ("FVRA") (52 U.S.C. § 10301 et
seq.) after several jurisdictions in California successfully defended themselves in
1 of 16 September 19, 2017 Item # 3.1
Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance Adopting By -District Elections for City
Councilmembers
September 19, 2017
Page 2
litigation brought under the FVRA. As a result, the CVRA is tilted heavily in favor of
plaintiffs' attorneys. Indeed, over the relatively short 15 -year history of the CVRA, and
only after an initial challenge to it was resolved in 2006, public agencies have paid nearly
$15 million to CVRA plaintiff attorneys. Due to the combination of the CVRA's low burden
to trigger mandatory districting and its mandatory attorneys' fees provision, all CVRA
cases that have been filed have ended with the defendant governmental agency
implementing a district election system and paying some sort of attorneys' fee payment
to those plaintiffs bringing such actions.
In 2016, responding to the substantial costs imposed upon cities and other public
agencies in defending CVRA lawsuits, the California Legislature amended the Elections
Code to simplify the process of converting to by -district elections and to provide a "safe
harbor" process to protect agencies from litigation. If a city receives a demand letter,
such as the case here, then the city is given 45 days of protection from litigation to
assess its situation. If within that 45 days, the city adopts a resolution declaring the
Council's intent to transition from at -large to district based elections, outlining the steps
to be taken to facilitate that transition, and estimating a time frame for action, then a
potential plaintiff is prohibited from filing a CVRA action for an additional 90 -day period.
(Elec. Code § 10010(e)(3).) Here, because the Council enacted Resolution No. 17-046
on July 18, 2017 declaring its intent to convert to a by -district method of election, which
was within 45 days of receiving the demand letter, a CVRA lawsuit cannot be filed before
October 16, 2017. (Elec. Code § 10010(e)(3).)
Following the enactment of Resolution No. 17-046, pursuant to Elections Code section
10010(a)(1), the City Council held two hearings (on August 1 and August 8, 2017) to
take public input regarding the composition of the City's voting districts before any draft
maps were drawn. At its August 1, 2017 hearing, the Council adopted Resolution No.
17-055 (Attachment B), which set forth the mandatory districting criteria required by
federal law (equal population across districts and compliance with the FVRA), as well
as other criteria to be considered, such as topography, geography,
cohesiveness/contiguity/integrity/compactness of territory, and community of interests.
The City's districting consultant, National Demographics Corporation ("NDC"), then
prepared proposed district maps pursuant to the factors set forth in Resolution No. 17-
055 and input provided by the public. NDC presented these maps to the Council for
consideration and comment, along with all eligible maps submitted by the public, at
public hearings held on August 18 and August 31, 2017, pursuant to Elections Code
section 10010(a)(2). At its August 18, 2017 hearing, the Council identified four maps
(101, 114, 123 and 127) that it wished to consider further, and eliminated the remainder
of the maps from consideration. Accordingly, these four maps, along with the four
eligible maps submitted by the public following the August 18, 2017 hearing and on or
before the August 22, 2017 deadline (maps 131,133, 135 and 136), were presented to
the Council at its August 31, 2017 public hearing, along with all public comments
concerning the same. All draft maps were made publicly available at least 7 days before

they were considered by the Council, (see, http://drawpoway.org/draft-maps/), in
compliance with requirements set forth in Elections Code section 10010(a)(2).
At the conclusion of the August 31, 2017 hearing, the Council unanimously voted to
direct staff to prepare an ordinance implementing by -district elections, whereby Map 133
is adopted as the City's voting district map, and the by -district elections are implemented
by placing the Councilmember seats from Council Districts 1 & 3 on the November 2018
ballot, and Councilmember seats from Council Districts 2 & 4 on the November 2020
ballot. That ordinance — proposed Ordinance No. XXX (Attachment C) — is now before
the Council for its consideration.
Environmental Review:
This item is not subject to CEQA review.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with holding this public hearing.
The overall fiscal impacts of voluntarily converting to district elections is estimated to be
approximately $82,500.

procedure in a manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any
citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color;

be equal in population to ensure compliance with the "one person, one vote" rule;
however, deviations approximating five to ten percent may pass muster under the equal

develop draft maps that fully comply with legal requirements and intends to provide
official criteria for any needed deviations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Poway

5. Council District borders shall follow visible natural and man-made
geographical and topographical features as much as possible; and

choices of voters by avoiding the creation of head-to-head contests between
Councilmembers previously elected by the voters, insofar as this does not
conflict with Federal or State Law.
