Board Members,
At the conclusion of the 11/22 meeting, a number of actions were taken by the Board, with one of
the actions being direction given to the consultant to create new maps. The Board used a motion
and vote to take this action instead of simply providing direction to staff, which would have been a
cleaner action. While staff does not believe this to be a de facto Brown Act violation, out of a desire
to be as transparent as possible, the action is being agendized.
A special meeting will be held on Monday 11/29 at 9:00 am. The agendized actions are limited to
rescinding the prior action, and restating the Board’s direction to the consultant as stated at the
11/22 meeting. This is a technical correction, and not a change of substance. Here are the actions
that will be on the agenda:
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN:
1. Rescind the following action which was taken during the November 22, 2021 Board meeting:
That the consultant return at a future meeting, with maps that contain the following
conditions: two valley districts (a north and a south), a city split in Chico that includes the
school district lines, a split in Oroville that utilizes the Feather River, that Forest Ranch and
Cohasset stay together, Cohasset and Forest Ranch may or may not be in the same district as
the Town of Paradise, North of the City of Oroville/Feather River shall be included in the
Town of Paradise District, and consider public comment that has been received (including
not dividing up Mechoopda), Chico may be divided into 4 districts, Oroville may be divided
into 3 districts, and the district that the Town of Paradise resides in may be underpopulated
similar to what has been considered previously; and
2. Direct the consultant to return at a future meeting, with maps that contain the following
conditions: two valley districts (a north and a south), a city split in Chico that includes the
school district lines, a split in Oroville that utilizes the Feather River, that Forest Ranch and
Cohasset stay together, Cohasset and Forest Ranch may or may not be in the same district as
the Town of Paradise, North of the City of Oroville/Feather River shall be included in the
Town of Paradise District, consider public comment that has been received (including not
dividing up Mechoopda), Chico may be divided into 4 districts, Oroville may be divided into 3
districts, and the district that the Town of Paradise resides in may be underpopulated similar
to what has been considered previously.
