Though council members will ultimately be the ones to approve a new map, likely in summer 2022, the city is using a citizens advisory committee made up of council appointees to help create it.

– An advisory committee that will lead the city’s redistricting process will nearly double in size after council members raised concerns about having more representation from their districts.

The use of a committee will be a change from the last redistricting process in 2011 and 2012, when consultants took the lead on most of the work. City staff had originally recommended a 13-person committee, made up of a single appointee from each council member and three mayoral appointees. However, during the Oct. 7 presentation, some council members questioned whether that number couldn’t be expanded.

In a memo dated the next day, Oct. 8, Mayor Ron Nirenberg told council members they would each get two appointees to the committee, while he would have three, including the committee’s two co-chairs, for a total of 23 committee members.“To augment the community’s trust in the process the Committee will submit a Final Plan to the Council with the expectation that the Council will decide on approving, or not, without amendments,” Nirenberg wrote in his memo.
