DATE: July 11, 2011
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Mark Persico, AICP, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT OF A COMMITTEE TO REVIEW
RESULTS OF THE 2010 CENSUS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Appointment of a committee to review the results of the 2010 Census, and report
on the advisability of redistricting.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
Section 515 of the City Charter states:
"The five (5) members of the City Council shall be elected by
districts, the boundaries of which shall be as defined by ordinance
adopted by the City Council.
In 1980 and each tenth (10th) year thereafter, the City Council shall
appoint a committee to study and report to the City Council on the
advisability of redistricting the City. Upon receipt of any such
committee report, and at any other time deemed necessary or
desirable in order that the district boundaries be in accordance with
constitutional requirement, fair and logical, the City Council may by
ordinance change and redefine the boundaries of any or all of such
districts. The boundaries so defined shall be established in such
manner that the district shall, as nearly as practicable, constitute
natural areas of contiguous and compact territory and provide fair
representation on the City Council. Any territory hereafter annexed
to or consolidated with the City shall, at the time of such annexation
or consolidation, be added by ordinance of the City Council to any
adjacent district or districts."
The table below shows the total population by Council district along with the
difference in total population and the percent variance per district.

During the 2000 Census the City Council formed a two member sub - committee
to review the data and make recommendations to the full Council. Following the
recommendation of the sub - committee, the Council on July 23, 2001, adopted
Ordinance 1475 leaving the district boundaries unchanged from 1990.
Staff has identified two options for Council consideration: 1) appoint a Council
sub - committee, or 2) appoint a Citizen's Committee. Given the relatively
straightforward nature of the task, a Council sub - committee might be the best
option for completing the data review.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council provide direction to staff regarding formation of a committee
to review 2010 Census data.
