FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 12, 2021
BUTTE COUNTY ANNOUNCES SPECIAL BOARD MEETING FOR REDISTRICTING PROCESS
Every ten years following the federal census, the boundaries of the supervisory districts of the County must be adjusted so
that the districts are similar in population. Redistricting Partners, the consultants hired to manage the 2021 redistricting
process in Butte County, have publicly presented at five Board of Supervisor's meetings as well as three community
outreach meetings, with the intent of educating and informing the community on the redistricting process, and garnering
public input.
On October 12, 2021 the consultants presented initial draft district maps where additional public input and Board
testimony was provided. The consultants returned on November 9, 2021 with new draft district maps based on input
received.
Consistent with Board direction given on November 9, 2021, a special meeting will take place on November 18, 2021 at
1:00 PM, at which time the consultants will present two maps. At the conclusion of the presentation, the Board may direct
staff to return at a future meeting with new map revisions, or, the Board may choose to adopt either Draft District Map
A6, which is derived from consultant draft maps A3 and A4, or Draft District Map #69836, which was introduced by
Supervisor Teeter and discussed at the November 9 Board Meeting. Consultants are reviewing this map for consistency
with requirements of the Fair Maps Act.
Both maps submitted for potential approval have been made publicly available for 7 days and can be viewed on the maps
page of the redistricting website.
WHAT: Board of Supervisors Special Meeting
WHEN: Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 1:00PM
WHERE: Butte County Board of Supervisors Chambers, located at 25 County Center Drive in Oroville.
