Enclosed please find all public comment related to Item 4.01 at the December 06, 2021 Board of Supervisors Meeting. Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.01 eComments Report Amanda MarcosSubmitted At: 2:35pm 12-06-21This is obvious manipulation for political gain. hilary hermanSubmitted At: 11:31am 12-06-21I am once again urging the Board of Supervisors to follow the FAIR MAPS Act by moving to adopt Map A7: a sensible, legal, and fair map instead of one that serves individual interest groups. As a long time Butte County resident, and one that was gerrymandered 10 years ago, prior to the Fair Acts Maps, I find it disheartening and yes, embarrassing, watching the blatant disrespect for the will of the people and most important, the law. Please, do the right thing by adopting Map A-7. You'll be better people for it in the end. And please don't drag your constituents through a lengthy and costly lawsuit. Caitlin DalbySubmitted At: 10:57am 12-06-21I am a voter in Forest Ranch and urge you to approve map A7. Map A7 checks the boxes for fair representation among all citizens of subrban Butte County, including 3 primarily rural districts and 2 primarily urban districts. Map A7 does the things that are most important to ensure fair representation to all: a majority of half the citizens of Butte County live in Chico, and so Chico should be kept in tact "to the greatest extent possible". Additionally, Ororville should also be divided as little as possible. Map A7 divides Chico into 3 of the 5 districts, and Oroville into 2. Any further division will unfairly dillute the votes of the people whose needs and concerns, that of a more urban nature, differ greatly than those of us living in rural parts of the county. I also urge you to not dilute the vote of our agricultural region, which spans the western portion of the county, by splitting our primarily agriculturallands into two. Having one solid agricultural district and two solid mountain/foothill districts, we can ensure that there will be good representation for folks that have experiences outside the influence of our urban centers such as surface and ground water, soils, wildfire, timber, outdoor recreation, fisheries/wildlife, etc. Dividing Chico into 4 or more and Oroville into 3 or more districts goes against the Fair Maps Act, and chosing to draw lines in this way (such as Map A8, A9, ad A10) is a violation of your duty to follow the law and failure to uphold your oath of office. As a Forest Ranch resident, I urge you to move forward with map A7. As an elected school board trustee of Chico Unified School District, I urge you to not dilute the vote of our county's most densely populated urban center and to do your governance duty to follow the law. As a natural resources specialist, I urge you to keep strength in the voting population of our rural areas by keeping one agriculturecentric district and two mountain-forest-foothill districts. Map A7 is the best option for ALL Butte County citizens. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Caitlin Dalby Probable future constituent to Supervisor Teeter (Forest Ranch)Chico Unified School District - School Board Trustee Bryce Goldstein Location: Submitted At: 10:03am 12-06-21 I am once again urging the Board of Supervisors to follow the FAIR MAPS Act by moving to adopt Map A7: a sensible, legal, and fair map instead of one that intentionally splits apart communities and dilutes their voices. The criteria set forth in recent meetings by the supervisorial majority ignores communities of interest and prioritizes the power and financial benefit of seated members of the Board of Supervisors over the voices of Butte County citizens. Supervisor Kimmelshue has been voting for his own financial gain regarding the Tuscan Water District, and should not be allowed to demand two representatives for a handful of wealthy big agribusiness owners in the sparsely-populated valley. As I mentioned in my comment for the previous meeting, the excessive list of line-drawing demands from the Supervisorial majority is intended not to ensure communities can organize together, but rather, to ensure they cannot. Their main goal is to demand so many useless things as to make it appear necessary to split Chico apart into four districts, so that our voices are fractured and diluted, allowing for the wealthiest ag landowners to continue dominating our County and its water resources. Please adopt Map A7, or as a second choice, the publicly-submitted map "Chico N/S, Foothills E/W". Thank you. Nick Bertagna Location: Submitted At: 7:47pm 12-03-21 Public Comment for Item 4.01 - Redistricting As a 4th generation Farmer and resident in Butte County, I ask you to please vote for a redistricting map that creates two agriculture valley districts on the westside of the County. Agriculture has been and will continue to be the driving force of Butte County's economy that effects the whole County and its residents. Butte County was founded by agriculture and still is its main economic stability. This should be recognized in leadership decisions. Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. Yours truly, Nick Bertagna Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.01 eComments Report Rob BerrySubmitted At: 10:04am 12-06-21I support two districts in West Butte County and extend Teeter's district into Chico. All districts for County Supes should be a mix of urban and rural for the very reasons that the Supervisors are a county government, and should not be dominated by Chico politics. Chico residents should acknowledge they are part of a rural county, and they can exert their political influence in Chico through the City Council.

I have confidence in the consultant that he will not do this...and so expect that the Board will not come to any conclusion on the 6th. My understanding is that the Map drawing will then go before a judge. What a great example of incompetence by this Board that they are unwilling to follow the law and create a Fair map. Hopefully the better angels within these men will come forward to accept a Fair Map such as A7, or 86812.

Map A7 checks the boxes for fair representation among all citizens of suburban Butte County, including 3 primarily rural districts and 2 primarily urban districts. Map A7 does the things that are most important to ensure fair representation to all: a majority of half the citizens of Butte County live in Chico, and so Chico should be kept intact "to the greatest extent possible". Additionally, Ororville should also be divided as little as possible. Map A7 divides Chico into 3 of the 5 districts, and Oroville into 2. Any further division will unfairly dilute the votes of the people whose needs and concerns, that of a more urban nature, differ greatly than those of us living in rural parts of the county. I also urge you to not dilute the vote of our agricultural region, which spans the western portion of the county, by splitting our primarily agricultural lands into two. Having one solid agricultural district and two solid mountain/foothill districts, we can ensure that there will be good representation for folks that have experiences outside the influence of our urban centers such as surface and groundwater, soils, wildfire, timber, outdoor recreation, fisheries/wildlife, etc. Dividing Chico into 4 or more and Oroville into 3 or more districts goes against the Fair Maps Act, and choosing to draw lines in this way (such as Map A8, A9, ad A10) is a violation of your duty to follow the law and failure to uphold your oath of office. As a Forest Ranch resident, I urge you to move forward with map A7. As an elected school board trustee of Chico Unified School District, I urge you to not dilute the vote of our county's most densely populated urban center and to do your governance duty to follow the law. As a natural resources specialist, I urge you to keep strength in the voting population of our rural areas by keeping one agriculture-centric district and two mountain-forest-foothill districts. Map A7 is the best option for ALL Butte County citizens. Thank you for your consideration.

Residents in the Northern agricultural district share a community of interest due to their dependence on ground water. Residents in the Southern agricultural district share a community of interest due to their dependence on surface water. Residents, with help from their County Supervisor, navigate a variety of regulations and laws based on their water source. These two distinct communities of interest should be recognized by the Board of Supervisors with a North-South boundary similar to the one illustrated in Map A5 previously proposed by the independent consultant. Agriculture has been and will continue to be a driver of Butte County’s economy and job market through crop production, manufacturing and transportation sectors. Unincorporated and rural Butte County residents should be part of as many as four of the five Supervisor Districts given the overwhelming rural makeup of Butte County.

McCabe 9930 Ferson Road Durham CA 95938 December 5, 2021 By email to ClerkofTheBoard@ButteCounty.net Butte County Board of Supervisors 25 County Center Drive Oroville CA 95965 Re: Agenda Item 4.01, Special Meeting of December 6, 2021 Chairman Connelly and Members of the Board: This letter concerns a misstatement in County Administration’s agenda transmittal regarding the redistricting item on tomorrow’s agenda. The transmittal states that “[a]ll maps submitted by the consultants follow all legal requirements, including the Federal Voting Rights Act, Fair Maps Act and the Constitution.” I express no opinion as to whether the maps comply with the Federal Voting Rights Act. However, the statement is clearly wrong as regards the Fair Maps Act, and is likely wrong regarding the United States Constitution. Those maps submitted by the consultants, at the express request of the Republican members of the Board, that contain “two valley districts” or “two ag districts” cannot, given the demography of Butte County and the requirements of the Fair Maps Act, comply with that law. The requests are barely disguised political requests, deliberately made to favor Republican candidates and disadvantage Democratic candidates, and to dilute the votes of City of Chico voters. As explained in my November 29, 2021 letter on this topic, the majority’s pretextual instructions are in direct conflict with the Fair Maps Act, due to (a) splitting of communities of interest, (b) over- division of the City of Chico and sometimes Oroville, (c) favoring distant populations over nearer populations, and (d) the political motivation for gerrymandering such districts. Under both the United States Constitution and the Fair Maps Act, districts must be of nearly equal population. Given the census results, the average population of a newly drawn supervisorial district will be about 42,500. In the portion of Butte County west of Hwy. 99, and excluding the City of Chico, there are nowhere near 42,500 residents. The Tuscan Water District, which covers a great deal of this territory including much of Durham, but not Biggs, Nelson and Gridley, has only about 6,500 residents. Given where people live, the ag lands alone on the west side of the county do not merit even an entire supervisorial district, let alone two. This is why, in maps drawn by anyone actually attempting to comply with the Fair Maps Act, there is a single district on the west side that picks up some population from Thermalito, and from around populated areas near, but outside, City of Chico city limits. The “community of interest” criterion for drawing supervisorial district boundaries is that residents who share communities of interest should be kept together (subject to district size limitations) so that they may be effectively represented; to prevent line-drawers from dividing those who share common interests among two or more districts. The fact that a community of even 20,000 people wishes to be divided for purpose of gaining political power is an illegitimate 2 basis upon which to base district lines—it violates both Elections Code §§ 21500(c)(2) 1 and 21500 (d). (“The board shall not adopt supervisorial district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against a political party.”) The gerrymandering instructions first drawn up by Republican consultant Josh Cook to create two “ag” districts have threefold political objectives: first, to secure representation, outsized in relation to population, to agricultural industry voters, who tend to vote Republican; second, to distribute right-leaning rural voters into more heavily Democratic districts, and third, to target Supervisor Lucero, who has come to be unfairly viewed by Republican campaign contributors from the agricultural industry to be “anti-ag.” The local Republican party has been grooming Peter Durfee as a candidate to run specifically against Supervisor Lucero. The maps earlier proposed by Redistricting Partners were likely unacceptable to the Republican partisans on the Board because, lacking political motive and applying objective criteria, Redistricting Partners proposed maps that had Supervisor Lucero and candidate Durfee in different districts. As noted in my November 29 letter, the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the state Constitutional language from which the Fair Maps Act is drawn makes clear that the Board cannot select, at its discretion, from among a number of maps the proponents claim satisfy the Fair Maps Act. The way the law is structured, if there is one best map, that is the only legally compliant map. If there are several maps that are equally maximally compliant, any one of those would satisfy the Act. Put another way, if a map can be drawn that meets the statutory criteria better than a proposed map, the proposed map does not satisfy the Fair Maps Act. A better map shows that the proposed map does not meet the criterion “to the extent practicable.” “Unlike former article XXI, section 2, or the judicial decision on which that provision was based, however, the current version of article XXI, in section 2, subdivision (d), expressly ranks the criteria in order of priority, stating explicitly that a lower-ranked criterion is to be followed only when doing so does not conflict with a higher-ranked criterion or criteria.” Vandermost v. Bowen (2012) 53 Cal.4th at 446, 448. The Vandermost Court rejected a proposed map on the ground that other, more criteria-compliant maps were available: “[I]nsofar as this alternative map is concerned, petitioner has provided us with no basis upon which we can conclude that it respects the constitutionally specified criteria at least as much as any of the other proposed maps . . .” Id. at 476 (emphasis supplied). The various maps included in the meeting notice published last week fare as follows under the Fair Maps Act: 1 “To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division” Cal. Elec. Code §21500(c)(2) (emphasis added). “The social and economic interests common to the population of an area which are probable subjects of legislative action, generally termed a "community of interests" (cf. Gov. Code, § 25001) should be considered in determining whether the area should be included within or excluded from a proposed district in order that all of the citizens of the district might be represented reasonably, fairly and effectively. Examples of such interests, among others, are those common to an urban area, a rural area, an industrial area or an agricultural area, and those common to areas in which the people share similar living standards, use the same transportation facilities, have similar work opportunities, or have access to the same media of communication relevant to the election process.” Reinecke, Legislature v. Reinecke (1973) 10 Cal.3d 396, 412 (footnote omitted and emphasis added). 3 Public Map 86812 (most compliant): Falls within acceptable population deviation Keeps agricultural community of interest intact; respects public input as to community of interests on the Ridge (Cohasset in same district as other Ridge communities); greater Oroville area (Berry Creek, Palermo, Honcut with most of Oroville); does not divide Mechoopda; keeps CSU residential area with Chico district; keeps Chico airport area with Chico Draws lines along designated census place and city boundaries with two exceptions: Chico in three districts; Oroville in two. Given Chico’s population and the population of supervisorial districts, dividing Chico into three districts is unavoidable. Boundaries are easily identifiable – e.g., follows creek in Chico. Compactness: high density areas in Oroville and Chico are kept associated with other high density areas in those cities. Map A7 Similar to Public Map 86812, with following differences: Somewhat different boundaries for districts that are primarily Chico (more of northwest Chico in “Ridge” district; different boundaries in CSU residential area); roughly equivalent on community of interest criterion Unnecessarily divides Oroville among three districts Inferior to Map 86812 on city division criterion; therefore noncompliant (but with adjustment around Oroville, could be compliant) Map A5 Divides agricultural community of interest; splits maybe 20,000 ag land residents among two districts; violates community of interest in city dwellers staying in a district with other city dwellers Unnecessarily divides Chico into four districts Associating dense Chico neighborhoods with distant ag populations violates compactness Inferior to Map 86812 on community of interest, city division and compactness criteria; therefore noncompliant Map A5-B Same problems as Map A5, plus unnecessary division of Oroville into three districts Inferior to Map 86812 on community of interest, city division and compactness criteria; therefore noncompliant 4 Map A5-C Same problems as Map A5, plus unnecessary division of Oroville into three districts Inferior to Map 86812 on community of interest, city division and compactness criteria; therefore noncompliant Map A8 Divides agricultural community of interest; splits maybe 20,000 ag land residents among two districts; violates community of interest in city dwellers staying in a district with other city dwellers Unnecessarily divides Chico into four districts; unnecessarily divides Oroville into three districts Associating dense Chico neighborhoods with distant ag populations violates compactness Inferior to Map 86812 on community of interest, city division and compactness criteria; therefore noncompliant Map A9 Divides agricultural community of interest; splits maybe 20,000 ag land residents among two districts; violates community of interest in city dwellers staying in a district with other city dwellers Associating dense Chico neighborhoods with distant ag populations violates compactness Inferior to Map 86812 on community of interest and compactness criteria; therefore noncompliant Map A10 Same problems as Map A8 Inferior to Map 86812 on community of interest, city division and compactness criteria; therefore noncompliant Recommended Action To meet the December 15, 2021 map adoption deadline with a map that will not obviously violate the Fair Maps Act, the Board should adopt Map 86812 as is, or instruct Redistricting Partners to make adjustments to either that map or Map A7 so that the revised map meets the Fair Maps Act criteria at least as well as current Map 86812 and, following publication, adopt the revised map.

Please exercise judgment before opening attachments, clicking on links, or replying.. Hello Supervisors, Please consider my comments as you weigh adoption of supervisor district maps, i urge that the district maps give strong consideration to the following: 1) Provide strong representation for the Paradise/Upper Ridge area. The current District 5 lost a significant number of homes and population due to the Camp Fire. As it rebuilds, this area deserves a cohesive and unified community of interest reflecting its historical unique demography and to assure that it continues to have a strong voice. 2) Butte County agriculture is a mainstay, major industry in Butte County. This industry and the rural, unincorporated areas should have significant representation in at least two districts on the westerly side of our county as has been the custom in the past. Thank you for your consideration.

Because this was the first time this criteria was mentioned, can you clarify which boundary the consultant used (high school or elementary or both), and why. The high school boundary seems appropriate for using the same street level splits that align with a major community of interest. The elementary boundaries would confirm neighborhoods. I think both should be used for purposes of street guidance. Because the consultant maps don't show streets it is very difficult for the public who live there to verify. In fact it has been the most frustrating part of the process. So I support using those maps for alignment with the right street jigs and jags. Or to confirm where all neighborhoods are around the elementary schools (and not just the neighborhoods a few citizens have mentioned). Because of the limited time due to COVID, the more existing resources you have the better this will hold up. With that, if the school map is used to draw borders for continuity to the County and be easily identifiable to residents, why not use the District maps drawn for the other Chico elected officials? The CUSD Trustee map and the Chico City Council District map? This is how we vote in Chico. It should align! It wasn't a big deal two years ago when these were "member at large" elections. But now everything is Districted. It is actually confusing and people are still getting .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

So if you really mean you want continuity, minimize the division by using existing maps! They get reviewed with the census, are based on the same criteria and laws, and are now accepted and understood. Right now I think the County needs an additional way to show faith within the City of Chico so using their other two elected maps would be a great start. I don't know why this isn't a standard part of the process, and my first stated COI was my Chico District boundary. So I strongly encourage using the elected official maps for the City of Chico and the CUSD to align with the elected official map for the County. Also, for the public record, if you want FOUR Board members to divide Chico, that means you have changed philosophy radically. Past comments and voting patterns have proven that the Rural Supervisors don't want or need to be concerned with Chico because of City Councils. Four suggests you want Chico to have LESS voice, or that you truly commit to changing philosophy and want to partner MORE on Chico's urban needs. Which one is it? Over the past year, the Rural Supervisors (Teeter and Connelly) have consistently voted against the urban needs of Chico (regardless of politics). I have heard them say "I don't care about Chico", "Chico can do what it wants", "Chico's homeless problem is not my problem":, etc etc. I thought it was personal but now I don't know. Teeter and Connelly voted against the committed $1.7M for an emergency shelter in Chico "they can wait for whatever stimulus we get next year" or "why do they get an emergency shelter when Paradise doesn't". THE HOMELESS IN CHICO COME FROM PARADISE AND OROVILLE. And you know it's an emergency. And when you flip/flopped on the vote after a quick bathroom break, it confirmed that it was politics and nothing else. ARE YOU BEING HONEST TO THE PUBLIC? Do leaders of rural areas intend to change and more closely support the needs or the urban centers? Obviously this puts MORE PRESSURE on the relationships between the five supervisors. How are we to believe things will change for the better if we live in Chico? I think this is lip service. TO SUPERVISOR TEETER, WHO WILL INHERIT THE MOST OF CHICO, ARE YOU GOING ON RECORD TO NOW SUPPORT URBAN NEEDS OF CHICO? Never say "I don't care what Chico does". I have never heard so much Chico bashing from anyone except you and Chair Connelly. I assumed that was because your loyalty is with rural communities which I respected. So now that you have gone on record by supporting a map with more urban Chico, I have to take you at your word that you now support the urban areas of Chico. My input for the public record: 1) Do not split Chico more than 3 ways as that dilutes the needs of the biggest City. Going with four is in direct conflict with Election Code 21500 (c)(3) "r espect the integrity of a City and minimize its division". 2) Use the School District Trustee and the Chico City Council District maps to ensure compliance with Election Code 21500 (c)(2) protection of neighborhoods, respect of communities of interest and minimal division. .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

Residents in the Northern agricultural district share a community of interest due to their dependence on ground water. Residents in the Southern agricultural district share a community of interest due to their dependence on surface water. Residents, with help from their County Supervisor, navigate a variety of regulations and laws based on their water source. These two distinct communities of interest should be recognized by the Board of Supervisors with a North-South boundary similar to the one illustrated in Map A5 previously proposed by the independent consultant. Agriculture has been and will continue to be a driver of Butte County’s economy and job market through crop production, manufacturing and transportation sectors. Unincorporated and rural Butte County residents should be part of as many as four of the five Supervisor Districts given the overwhelming rural makeup of Butte County. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important topic. Thank you, Katy Gough 1224 Ivy St Chico, CA 95928 .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

Some of the maps that are being gerrymandered by associates of Mr. Kimmelshue to divide the City of Chico into four districts would both silence the voices of countless residents and open us up to a costly lawsuit. Please instead select one of the maps (Map A7 or Map #86812) that does NOT divide the City of Chico into 4 districts. Additionally, those making the claims that Chico residents have the city council to represent them and that their votes are less important in countywide elections, those individuals are either woefully ignorant or are lying through their teeth. Just as Chico residents receive some services from the city, others through the state of CA, and still others from the national government, so too are they due rightful representation at the county level. To exclude Chicoans voices from county politics is to deny them representation. No taxation without representation. Thank you for your time. Do the right thing. Sincerely, Kellie Marie S.

Our mission is to encourage informed and activeparticipation in government, increase understanding of major publicpolicy issues, and influence public policy through education andadvocacy. The League of Women Voters, on the national, state, and locallevel, takes the position that to be fair, districts should be drawn in atransparent manner by politically independent special commissions thatuse unbiased criteria to help keep communities intact and to ensure thateveryone is equally represented. The CA Citizen’s Redistricting Commission now does this for state-level offices. The Butte CountyBoard of Supervisors could have chosen that approach. Instead, theBoard is drawing the new district lines itself with the assistance of aconsulting firm. However, having made that choice, the Board is stillbound by the law which lays out the criteria which must be followed bywhoever is empowered to create new district lines. As the Board of Supervisors is still considering which map toadopt, it is important to reiterate the Fair Maps Act criteria listed in CAElections Code Section 21500(c). The criteria, listed in descendingorder of priority, are: “(1) To the extent practicable, supervisorial districts shall be geographically contiguous.….. (2) To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division.…. (3) To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of a city or census designated place shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division. (4) Supervisorial district boundaries should be easily identifiable and understandable by residents. To the extent practicable, supervisorial districts shall be bounded by natural and artificial barriers, by streets, or by the boundaries of the county. (5) To the extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria in this subdivision, supervisorial districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations.” Following that list of required criteria, Elections Code Section21500(d) makes this absolute prohibition: “The board shall not adopt supervisorial district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against a political party.” We assume that all supervisors strive to act in the best interestsof their constituents and Butte County as a whole.

The residents in these areas share a community of interest with the City of Chico because they share common social and economic interests with residents in the City of Chico. The Fair Maps Act states that to the extent practical, communities of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division. Therefore, unincorporated areas of North and Northwest Chico should be connected to a Chico district. Map A7 is in violation of the Fair Maps Act as it divides unincorporated North and Northwest Chico away from the City of Chico. The Fair Maps Act also states that supervisorial districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations. Map A7 directly violates this section of the Fair Maps Act as the unincorporated areas of North and Northwest Chico have been drawn into a district that stretches all the way down to the southern border of Butte County. In order to encourage geographical compactness and be in compliance with the Fair Maps Act, unincorporated areas of North and Northwest Chico should be combined with a City of Chico district and not bypassed as Map A7 suggests. While I understand the need for balance in Numbers, please keep a certain amount of common sense in these alignments. Keep North Chico with Chico.

The special areas of Butte County would be Chico, Oroville, Paradise and Magalia(and other Mountainous areas), and our agricultural areas. I realize that presents difficulties. But not impossibilities. The dense population of Chico should be represented in two districts. Paradise, Magalia and the mountains in one district, Oroville and the surrounding foothills in another. Gridley and the ag land in the other. This idea has been quite well represented in maps #86812 and mapA7#85712. Both these maps meet the requirements of the Fair Maps Act. I request that the Butte County Supervisors choose either map #86812 or A785712 for the new map of the Butte County Supervisor Districts. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Mark T.

Aram <mary.aram01@gmail.com> Subject: Comment Re: Monday's Redistricting Meeting, 12/6/21 Dear Supervisors, We, like many of our fellow county residents, have been disappointed and appalled by the Board of Supervisors' redistricting process thus far. The conservative majority's blatant attempts to gerrymander the county districts for their own personal and political purposes is brazenly anti-democratic and patently illegal. Unfortunately, the Board's behavior to date is emblematic of a dangerous epidemic of disregard and disdain for democratic process that appears to be overwhelming so-called public servants and undermining the tenants of self-goverment nationwide. Continuing in this manner at the redistricting meeting on Monday, Dec. 6, will subject the county to unnecessary public criticism, ridicule, and (ultimately) costly litigation. In advance of Monday's meeting, the consultant, Redistricting Partners, and Supervisors Lucero and Ritter have submitted newly drafted maps that appear to comply with all legal requirements of the Fair Maps Act (with the specific exception of Draft Plans A8 and A10, which remain out of bounds). The legal requirements for redistricting--and the reason Plans A8 and A10 fail to comply with those requirements--are well known to the supervisors by now. Those requirements need not be restated yet again. We implore the Board to give the new maps that are in compliance their due attention, ample discussion, and fair consideration. To do otherwise--and end up adopting a self-serving and illegal redistricting plan--would be an egregious affront to democracy. .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

Greetings Supervisors Connelly, Lucero, Ritter, Kimmelshue, and Teeter. I am writing to encourage NOT to divide Chico into four districts and support the two maps Map A7 or Map #86812. Chico should be kept within three districts based on our population and on the FAIR MAPS Act, which states that "To the extent practicable, the geographic integrity of a city or census designated place shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division". This process has been very disenfranchising for me. From being called a name by my Supervisor, to watching the male Supervisors treat their female peers with such disrespect. It has been disappointing to say the least to witness this behavior, especially as a woman who is interested in running for office someday. I hope in the future the male supervisors can set a better example. I sincerely hope you do the right and legal thing to prevent litigation. This county does not need to make national news, yet again, for poor leadership. .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

Communities in the unincorporated areas North and Northwest of the City of Chico are considered local neighborhoods of Chico. The residents in these areas share a community of interest with the City of Chico because they share common social and economic interests with residents in the City of Chico. The Fair Maps Act states that to the extent practical, communities of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division. Therefore, unincorporated areas of North and Northwest Chico should be connected to a Chico district. Map A7 is in violation of the Fair Maps Act as it divides unincorporated North and Northwest Chico away from the City of Chico. The Fair Maps Act also states that supervisorial districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations. Map A7 directly violates this section of the Fair Maps Act as the unincorporated areas of North and Northwest Chico have been drawn into a district that stretches all the way down to the southern border of Butte County. In order to encourage geographical compactness and be in compliance with the Fair Maps Act, unincorporated areas of North and Northwest Chico should be combined with a City of Chico district and not bypassed as Map A7 suggests.

I work and live in the foothills that surround Chico. I provide tree and brush clearing services that help boost our fire safe clearances and eliminate tree related hazards for our local communities. I have been in the department of Forestry for over 20 years. I would like to provide input for my local community of Cohasset in regards to the redistricting maps purposed for your next supervisors meeting this month. I feel that both maps 86812 and A7 (85712) fit the needs of the forested communities that surround the foothills of Chico. Both maps submitted include our small community of Cohasset in with our other local forested communities. That is great news and both maps seem to fit within the Fair Maps Act parameters and look similar to the land cover and land use maps for our area of Butte County. I ask that you please move forward with accepting A7 as a first pick for the redistricting maps and map 86812 as a 2nd runner up. I feel that the forested communities that surround Chico would greatly benefit from this decision and can provide support and longevity to the small forested communities for the next 10 years. I appreciate all the Board does for our community and want to personally thank you for the time and support in listening to our voices and concerns. .ATTENTION: This message originated from outside Butte County.

I do not think that it is fair to approve something which is illegal and will cost the County even more money than we have already spent. We the people of Butte County have hired mapping experts who were approved by the Board of Supervisors at a cost to the tax payers of $80,000. They have drawn up a map A7 at the last supervisors meeting which meets all of the legal requirements and fulfills the requests of the people of Butte county who are interested enough in this process to take the time to contact the Board with their requests. I want to see passed a map which doesn’t cut up Chico into more than 3 districts of similar interest. I also feel that Oroville shouldn’t be cut up into more than 2 districts. Map A7 does these 2 things plus keeps areas of interest in the county together. Foothill area with fire and rebuilding, agricultural area with water and perhaps need for crop changing, the large metropolitan area of Chico with Bidwell Park and Oroville area with concerns about the Dam..

Shyanne Valencia Administrative Assistant to Clerk of the Board Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.02 eComments Report Diana DreissSubmitted At: 2:20pm 12-03-21 Dr. David Martin: “Weaponized ‘COVID’ Injections Have Seriously Harmed and Killed Many - While Bought-AndPaid-For Public Officials Continue to Lie and Terrorize The Public” “We reported on the weaponization of biologic materials in violation of biological and chemical weapons treaties. Our identification of the chimeric alteration and recombinant technologies around coronavirus. This particular injection that we’re dealing with now - this particular injection is an mRNA model, computergenerated, not derived from a living or organic material - this is a computer simulation of an mRNA strand whichwas thought to be a means by which we could turn the human body into a pathogen creator. By that I mean the formation of the coronavirus-associated spike protein. It’s a gene therapy to create abioweapon. We see that the current pathogen called SARS-CoV-2 was clearly chimerically altered and wasclearly chimerically developed in the laboratory so that it can be used both as a weapon and as a medicalcountermeasure in 2015. It was reported and funded by NIAID, developed and violated the International Convention on Biological and Chemical Weapons - by taking a foreign uploaded model of SARS-CoV-2, and turning it into a recombinant,chimeric pathogen which “was poised for human emergence”. and poised for human emergence not in 2019 aswe’ve been told by the propaganda - but that publication was published in February of 2016. Published from work that was done from 2013 to 2015. There is no novel coronavirus. There is a weaponized version of a computer simulation of a fragment that is, infact, modeled to be the spike protein analogous to what we’ve been told is the spike protein associated withSARS-CoV-2. The problem is we do not have anything that is actually derived from an actual pathogen, And we do not haveanything that’s actually responsive to the immune system that was, in fact, responsive to a pathogen. This is a computer simulation meant to harm and destroy what we call humanity.” Also the President of Bauer Pharmaceuticals said last week that the Covid ‘vaccines’ are not vaccines at all butsophisticated gene editing software for your DNA marked as a ‘vaccine’ to gain public trust. A ‘vaccine’ with over 913,000 adverse event is NOT “safe,effective, & free”as promoted by Board of Supervisors and Butte County Public Health. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention released new data late Monday showing a total of 913,268adverse events following COVID vaccines were reported between December 14, 2020 and November 19, 2021,to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VARES). VARES is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. The data included a total of 19,249 reports of death - an increase of 396 over the previous week - and 143,395 reports of serious injuries - an increase of 4,269 over the previous week. Of the 8,898 U.S. deaths reported as of November 19, 20% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 26%occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 56% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptomswithin 48 hours of being vaccinated. Every Friday, VARES publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted toVARES require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed. Historically, VARES has been shown to report only 1% of actual vaccine adverse events. U.S. VARES data from December 14, 2020, to November 19, 2021 for 5- to 11-year-olds show: 2,093 total adverse events, including Bryce Goldstein Location: Submitted At: 10:03am 12-06-21 I am once again urging the Board of Supervisors to follow the FAIR MAPS Act by moving to adopt Map A7: a sensible, legal, and fair map instead of one that intentionally splits apart communities and dilutes their voices. The criteria set forth in recent meetings by the supervisorial majority ignores communities of interest and prioritizes the power and financial benefit of seated members of the Board of Supervisors over the voices of Butte County citizens. Supervisor Kimmelshue has been voting for his own financial gain regarding the Tuscan Water District, and should not be allowed to demand two representatives for a handful of wealthy big agribusiness owners in the sparsely-populated valley. As I mentioned in my comment for the previous meeting, the excessive list of line-drawing demands from the Supervisorial majority is intended not to ensure communities can organize together, but rather, to ensure they cannot. Their main goal is to demand so many useless things as to make it appear necessary to split Chico apart into four districts, so that our voices are fractured and diluted, allowing for the wealthiest ag landowners to continue dominating our County and its water resources. Please adopt Map A7, or as a second choice, the publicly-submitted map "Chico N/S, Foothills E/W". Thank you. Nick Bertagna Location: Submitted At: 7:47pm 12-03-21 Public Comment for Item 4.01 - Redistricting As a 4th generation Farmer and resident in Butte County, I ask you to please vote for a redistricting map that creates two agriculture valley districts on the westside of the County. Agriculture has been and will continue to be the driving force of Butte County's economy that effects the whole County and its residents.
