City Charter Section 515 provides, in relevant part: "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 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." SECTION 2. California Elections Code Section 21620 states: "If the members of the governing body of a chartered city are nominated or elected 'by districts' or 'from districts,' as defined in Section 34871 of the Government Code, upon the initial establishment thereof, the districts shall be as nearly equal in population as may be according to the latest federal decennial census or, if the city's charter so provides, according to the federal mid - decade census or the official census of the city, as provided for pursuant to Chapter 17 (commencing with Section 40200) of Part 2 of Division 3 of Title 4 of the Government Code, as the case may be. After the initial establishment of the districts, the districts shall continue to be as nearly equal in population as may be according to the latest federal decennial census or, if authorized by the charter of the city, according to the federal mid - decade census. The districts shall comply with the applicable provisions of the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, Section 1973 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended. In establishing the boundaries of the districts, the council may give consideration to the following factors: (1) topography, (2) geography, (3) cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, and compactness of territory, and (4) community of interest of the districts."
