REGULAR AGENDA 3.01 Butte County 2021 Redistricting Draft Maps — 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 multiple Board of Supervisor's meetings. During the November 22, 2021 Special Board meeting, the consultants returned to present two maps: one revised draft district map identified as A6, derived from consultant draft maps A3 and A4, and reviewed for consistency with requirements of the Fair Maps Act, and map #69836, which was introduced by Supervisor Teeter and discussed at the November 9, 2021 Board meeting. At the conclusion of the 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 —ACTION REQUESTED — 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 Page 1 BUTTE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA - NOVEMBER 22, 2021 (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 STAYTOGETHER, 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.
