Urban areas should not be lumped together with rural ones, for many obvious reasons.

It should not be Mr. Wahl who should be in charge of drawing his own lines when he has an obvious political conflict of interest, He doesn't seem to see that, but but the FPPC did when they fined him $12,500. Redistricting should not be done be the supervisors. The term "gerrymandering" has a.bad connotation because it has a bad history. And this kind of redistricting should not be done in the middle of summer when so many people are gone. And plenty of time for reflection and discussion should be offered. This kind of hurry and lack of information makes people nervous and suspicious. Political action should be open, above board and in the full light of day. Mr. Wahl's agenda is too transparent to even be called "secret." All our elected officials should show their good will by reasoning things through honestly and openly, as most of you do.

Entire southwest Chico neighborhoods would be moved to a district where their interests are likely to be totally ignored by that district's Supervisor with no political repercussions to him. Those who remain in District 2 will also suffer by being "represented" by a Supervisor who has forgotten that he is supposed to represent alI his district's constituents, not just those who voted for him. I am very disappointed that our Butte County Supervisors have betrayed the trust of County residents, who expected them to consider what was best for our county, not just to guarantee their reelection.

The area of Chico planned for this change is one of the oldest Chico neighborhoods. They are an integral part of the City of Chico, and should not be separated off into a district that is not involved in the activities and dynamics of Chico. [ understand that changes to supervisorial districts need to be made based on the 201 D census, but those changes must follow rational guidelines and keep population groups with the same geographic profile together. In the interest of democratic principles, it is absurd and highly undemocratic that supervisors be allowed to design their own district. Such an allowance perpetuates corruption. Redistricting should be done by a group of citizens from several districts representing a broad spectrum of political, economic and social views. Those selected should be skilled in consensus building, skilled in listening to and articulating ideas, skilled in the art of compromise balanced by a deep sense of justice.

This trend is evident from the proposition we just passed statewide recently giving the job of redistricting to an impartial citizens' committee, and from an expensive and divisive referendum in 2001 right here in Butte County, The reason why politicians should not draw their own boundaries, a majority of voters decided both times, is that more often than not, politicians' main interest may end up being sel£ interest. But suddenly now, in the middle of summer, we find out that behind closed doors and with zero public input, at least one Supervisor (who fought hard and lost big with Measure A to disenfranchise a portion of the population whose political leanings he apposes} has been quietly redrawing the district boundaries to excise the neighborhoods that most resoundingly rejected his Measure A. That means taking out of his district the Barber neighborhood of South Chico as well as the Craig Hall area (student housing}. These would instead be lumped in with the district whose Supervisor is also charged with places like Richvale and Gridley-places that have zero on common with Chico. The Barber neighborhood is Chico's oldest and to excise it from its traditional Chico supervisorial district is ludicrous. This looks like a blatant attempt to "divide and conquer." I protest! I don't want the Supervisors re-drawing their own districts. Let us stop this craziness now. It's bound to get nasty and expensive. Let's find acitizen-driven model that includes neighborhood stakeholders to ensure that boundaries reflect not just numbers but also environmental and socio-economic parity and cultural considerations. If in fact there has been no well-functioning system in Butte County to delimit supervisorial districts, let's f gore one out now. We can't afford ever to have a system in place that lends itself to shenanigans or that, call it what you will, is still gerrymandering. I am copying the City councilors in hopes that the City will also weigh in on this. We cannot afford to have a huge portion of Chico represented at the County level by anyone other than someone who understands and will represent Chico's interests. Sincerely, Maria Phillips Debbie Presson--I don't have all the councilors' email addresses--can you please make sure they get a copy of this? Thank you!

It appears that the current proposal far redistricting is Draft 4. When reviewing the redrawn district lines of the Draft 4 proposal it easy to see that a large portion of South West Chico would be included into District 4. I am a resident of that portion of Chico and I strongly disagree with such a proposal. I trust that the Board of Supervisors is indeed using the Redistricting Definitions of California Election Code §21500 as a guideline for redistricting. The Board needs to consider that the Draft 4 proposal does not fit with the definitions of (c) Cohesiveness and (d) Community of Interest as outlined in Election Code §21500. I am sure you are all aware, though it is worth reminding you, that these are two very critical factors to take into account when considering the Draft 4 proposal. It is not evident that the social and economic interests of my community are being considered within the proposal if we are to be part of a district that includes Biggs and Gridley, nor is the proposal promoting cohesiveness as it seeks to disconnect my community from its long held position in the current district. i urge you to reject the part of the proposal which seeks to disconnect a large portion of South West Chico and continue to look for an alternative plan that follows the Redistricting Definitions.

The proposal meets none of the criteria for drawing district boundaries, and consolidates ;rural and urban areas. 1t must not be adopted. The people of California sent a clear message to all elected officials that politicians should not determine which voters are in districts they represent when drawing new district boundaries. The proposition establishing the commission on redistricting our assembly, senate and congressional boundary lines takes politicians out of determining district boundary lines. Although we fully understand that the present County charter tasks the sitting Board of Supervisors with help from "staff' to draw redistricting boundaries, we ask that a way be found to include a nonpartisan citizen committee in the decision- making process, much in the same way that the General Plan has been developed. This would accomplish two badly needed goals; to get fairness into this particular redistricting process and to develop a model for modifying the County charter to ensure that in the future all redistricting be accomplished in collaboration with the citizen stakeholders. Our state Assemblyman Dan Logue has stated that politicians should not be allowed to select their own voters. We are pleased that we agree wholeheartedly with him.

We represent the residents of Butte Valley. Since the first meeting of the Butte County 5upervisorial Redistricting the residents of Butte Valley have requested that Butte Valley be included in the Supervisorial Redistricting process. We are asking that Butte Valley be redistricted to have just one County Supervisor. Currently Butte Valley is broken up among Supervisors: Steve lambert, Bill Connelly and Kim Yamaguchi. initially we felt that Bill Connelly would be our best match for just one Supervisor for Butte Valley. After speaking twice at the Butte County Board of Supervisors and with you, Candace Grubbs, we understand that Bill Connelly's District # 1 is already at its maximum capacity, resulting in negligible flexibility. We feel that District #5 represents the the citizens and those unique problems associated with foothill communities, and not Butte Valley. Supervisor Steve Lambert, District #4 is actually the most logical choice of Supervisors for Butte Valley. Steve Lambert lives just a few miles-from Butte Valley, and is keenly aware of our economic conditions and the problems of Butte Valley, and he has even farmed in Butte Valley for many years. Steve Lambert currently is the County Supervisor for over half of the area of Butte Valley, including Butte College. We respectfully ask that Steve Lambert's Supervisorial District include Butte Valley, eliminating the need to push his district into the Southern part of Chico. Please seriously consider this request from the residents of Butte Valley to have Steve Lambert as our only County Supervisorial Representative. Very Sincerely, John Scott Butfie Valley Coalition ps.

Propaganda prepared by the Chico Democratic Action Club and Michael Worley. The Board rightly rejected the Chico Democratic Party's Option 5 as suggested by Supervisor Kirk and authored by Michael Worley. As you can see in the attached pdf and remember from the registered voters data Op#ion 5 is a classically gerrymandered redistricting plan. It serves no interest other than that of the Democratic Party. Their plan is to collapse the second district boundaries entirely into the city of Chico loading down the district with 3000 more democratic registered voters than Republicans. Rather than accept the principles of representative democracy, the Chico Democratic Parry has responded with a campaign of smears and lies directed at their duly elected supervisor and your unanimously adapted redistricting process. Reading the talking points below gives you some context on the onslaught of e-mails. Option 4 is in noway gerrymandered. Although political party registration is not a valid consideration for redistricting, i believed that Option 4 still has mare Democratic registered voters in both the 2nd and the 3rd District. it achieves a balance between incorporated and unincorporated county residents. It preserves and protects the representation of Communities of Interest in the unincorporated areas of the County. Whereas the plan that the Democratic Parry protesters are seeking creates a Board seat governing unincorporated residents of Butte County which no unincorporated resident can vote for or against. Option 4 more evenly distributes unincorporated and city residents among the districts. The Forest Ranch community of interest retains their 3rd District Supervisor. Option 4 strengthens the voting franchise of unincorporated residents far whom the Butte County Board of Supervisors are their only local government decision makers. It is good public policy based on the constitutional principle of one man, one vote. The Barber neighborhood is entirely in the city limits. Their local governmental body is the Chico City Council not the Board of Supervisors. [t has a population of 2000 which is roughly equal to the 1900 population the 4th district needed #o gain without dividing their community of interest. Barber's South Chico location, abutting the 4th district, makes it the most logical choice for the district realignment. Whereas the Option 5 plan they are seeking disenfranchises thousands of North West Butte County residents by stripping them of their recently elected Supervisor and representation on County Boards and Commissions that have a district residency requirement. The gerrymandered plan offered by 3rd District Supervisor Kirk and the Chico Democratic Party creates a 2nd District Supervisor that would represent no interests in the unincorporated area of the county. It disenfranchises all the North West Butte County farmers by taking away the Supervisor they elected 13 months ago. These unincorporated County residents depend on their County representation, especially when it comes to water issues. The North Butte County Orchardists are a Community of Interest vital to our economy. Placing the Barber neighborhood in the 2nd district is a zero-sum game that would require an equal number of North County unincorporated residents to be removed dividing their community of interest. The Supervisor KirklDemocratic Party plan also inexplicably redefines the 1 st district boundaries. Please bear this in mind as you consider the validity of the protest. They are not just against a plan and a Supervisor that they could not defeat in a fair election.They are seeking to establish a process that must result in option 5 or something quite similar to satisfy them. Your redistricting process has been fair, open and honest. Partisan lies, smears and slander should 7/7/2011 ilicfirir_fi 5 Yage~ot6 not be rewarded with further expense of Butte County taxpayers' dollars. The decision regarding district boundary lines is where it belongs in the hands of you whom the voters elected to do this jab. The necessary readjustment of lines between the 2nd and the 4th Districts was made at an open public meeting with input from the supervisors that represent those districts. The voters did not give the 3rd District Supervisor and her partisan political supporters the right to redraw other Supervisors' districts as they see fit. Your once is that of Butte County Supervisor. There Is na office of Chico Supervisor. I trust in your good judgment that you will do what is in the best interest of Butte County residents.
