Thank
you,
any
requests
for
continuances
or
any
public
hearing
agenda
item
from
my
council
members
we're
all
good
okay.
So
with
that,
we
have
some
special
presentations
and
announcements
I'm
going
to
come
around
to
the
podium.
Give
me
a
few
moments.
B
We
recognize
that
older
adults
play
a
key
role
in
Vitality
of
our
neighborhoods
networks
and
lives.
Additionally.
The
city
council
wishes
to
express
appreciation
for
the
Council
on
Aging,
for
representing
our
older
adult
community
and
commitment
to
supporting
older
adults.
With
that
I'd
like
to
present
to
you,
this
wonderful
proclamation.
In
a
few
words,
that's
for
you
excellent,
please
step
up
to
the
my
Podium
I'll
hold
that
for
you.
If
you
wish
go
ahead.
F
Mayor
Mac
and
Me
City
Council
Members
staff,
on
behalf
of
the
counseling
aging
I,
do
want
to
thank
you
for
recognizing
this
month
as
an
acknowledgment
of
all
of
the
all
of
the
efforts
that
older
adults
bring
to
our
community
and
an
appreciation
for
that
and
acknowledgment.
As
one
of
my
fellow
Commissioners
like
to
say,
older
adults
is
the
fastest
growing
demographic,
not
only
here
in
Thousand
Oaks,
but
in
Ventura,
County
and
throughout
the
country.
So
on
behalf
of
the
council
in
aging
and
all
my
Commissioners.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
acknowledgment.
B
B
G
Thank
you,
mayor
McNamee
and
council
members.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
be
here
to
present
information
about
our
upcoming
pop-up
Arts
and
Music
Festival.
This
will
be
our
sixth
year
and,
as
the
name
suggests,
the
festival
will
feature
free,
pop-up
performances
and
activities
at
a
variety
of
neighborhood
parks
throughout
Thousand
Oaks,
offering
the
community
the
opportunity
to
participate
and
enjoy
the
Arts
in
unexpected
and
distinct
locations
and
provide
residents
and
visitors
the
ability
to
experience
a
front
row
seat
to
local
and
Regional
artistic
talent,
as
well
as
nationally
recognized
performing
artists
right
in
their
backyard.
G
The
success
of
these
events
is
due
in
part
to
the
Partnerships,
with
Community
organizations
such
as
the
coneo
recreation
and
Park
District,
our
resident
companies,
five
star
theatricals
and
New
West
Symphony,
Brogden
Bay,
presents
the
stagecoach
in
museum
and
to
Arts.
Local
residents
have
been
very
appreciative
of
having
an
opportunity
to
attend
free
events
in
their
own
neighborhood,
as
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
attendance
over
the
past
few
years,
with
2022
being
our
most
well
attended.
G
We
are
partnering
with
Brogden
Bay
presents
to
bring
John
Jorgensen
bluegrass
band.
John
Jorgensen
has
performed
previously
here
in
the
Janet
and
raised
sheer
Forum
theater,
with
Chris
Hillman
of
the
Desert
Rose
Band
to
kick
off
pop-up.
He
will
be
performing
at
the
beautiful
historic
Stagecoach
and
Museum
on
June,
2nd
on
June
3rd.
We
will
be
at
Suburbia
Park
presenting
delpheo
Marsalis
and
the
Uptown
Jazz
Orchestra.
G
He
is
known
as
one
of
the
top
trombonists
in
the
country
and
is
from
the
Marsalis
family,
which
some
consider
the
first
family
of
jazz
for
a
little
taste
of
New
Orleans
I
encourage
you
to
join
us
last
year.
Suburbia
Park
was
one
of
the
most
well-attended
events
so
be
sure
to
get
there
early
June
9th.
We
are
proud
to
partner
with
one
of
our
resident
companies,
New
West
Symphony,
to
bring
Ilya
sarov.
This
will
be
a
great
evening
filled
with
Renditions
of
all-time
favorite
jazz
standards.
Ilya
has
a
passion
for
jazz.
G
That
knows
no
bounds.
We
were
fortunate
to
have
him
perform
for
us
previously
at
the
Los
Robles
greens
during
the
covid
pandemic.
When
we
were
unable
to
have
activities
in
the
theater,
we
are
thrilled
to
give
the
community
the
opportunity
to
see
him
again
for
free
on
June
10th.
We
will
be
presenting
Adrian
and
Meredith
at
Northwood
Park.
This
park
offers
a
beautiful
setting
to
experience
this
fun
Lively
band.
That
is
sure
to
have
you
on
your
feet,
clapping
and
dancing
to
some
gritty,
vocals
and
fiery
fiddling.
G
We
will
be
bringing
wonderful,
Live
musical
theater
performers
to
park
at
a
La
Paz
on
June
16th
with
our
resident
Company
Five
Star
theatricals.
They
will
have
many
of
their
fan.
Favorites
from
past
productions,
singing
songs
from
The
Beatles
performers
will
include
John
Krauss
recently
in
hadestown
on
Broadway
and
the

and
was

G
He
is
a
local
muralist
who
will
be
creating
a
large
piece
of
art,
live
that
will
be
hung
in
the
front.
Cavali
theater,
Gallery,
ventura-based
jam
band
shaky
feeling
will
be
playing
the
soundtrack
as
the
art
unfolds
memorable
for
their
catchy
songs
and
let's
never
play
it.
The
same
way
twice:
attitude:
June
23rd!
We
are
honored
to
present
the
562nd
Air
Force
Band
at
the
Thousand
Oaks
Community
Park.
This
26
piece
Ensemble
will
entertain
and
Inspire
audiences
of
all
ages.
G
G
Additionally,
this
will
be
our
first
time
at
Wildwood
community
park
on
June
30th,
with
the
international
band
band
of
Magna.
They
perform
in
six
different
languages,
although
you
may
not
understand
each
song,
they
have
The
Uncanny
ability
to
engage
the
audience
and
take
you
on
a
musical
Journey
that
transcends
words
through
music,
ranging
from
Samba
to
Greek,
folk
tunes
and
everything.
In
between
this
year,
we
are
thrilled
to
close
out
the
pop-up
Arts
and
Music
Festival,
with
a
grammy-nominated
Mardi
Gras
Indian
troupe.
G
G
All
of
the
events
are
presented.
Festival
style
audiences
are
encouraged
to
bring
your
own
chair,
blankets
and
picnic
baskets.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
you
at
these
events
in
June.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
This
evening,
cultural
Affairs,
director,
Jonathan,
surette
and
I
are
available
for
questions.
Thank.
B
H
Really
quick
for
the
community
and
a
thank
you
to
Jonathan
and
Marissa.
This
is
work
that
I
think,
as
the
council
knows,
is
above
and
beyond
the
work
here
in
our
Performing
Arts
v
news,
and
it
was
done
with
a
goal
which
is
increasing
audience
engagement
and
taking
Arts
out
into
the
community,
encouraging
biking
and
walking,
encouraging
engagement
in
various
neighborhoods
all
over
town.
You
see
a
lot
of
effort
went
into
to
program
out
all
to
all
corners
of
the
community.
This
takes
a
ton
of
work.
C
I
My
name
is
Rosanna
Guerra
and
I'm,
a
30-year
resident
of
the
beautiful
city
of
Thousand,
Oaks
I'm,
here
before
you
today
thanking
city
council
for
recognizing
may
as
older
adults
appreciation
month
what
we
all
have
heard
of
the
growing
population,
demographic
of
older
adults
in
the
U.S
and
how
it's
reflected
in
our
city.
Rarely
do
we
discuss
older
adults
as
a
generation
that
has
been
tempered
by
its
unique
experiences.
I
I
By
the
time
I
was
10
years
old,
President
Kennedy
had
been
assassinated,
followed
by
Martin,
Luther
King
and
then
Senator
Robert
Kennedy
I've
witnessed
a
lot
at
first,
the
first
man
on
the
moon,
technological
advances
that
were
once
only
the
step
of
Science,
Fiction,
Wars
and
and
only
to
be
transplanted
to
other
countries
in
all
a
lifetime
of
change.
All
this
is
to
say
that,
as
a
generation
of
older
adults,
we
continue
to
have
value
and
it's
important
to
look
at
the
depth
of
our
Collective
experiences.
I
Our
contributions
are
many
and
continue
older
doesn't
mean
done
or
irrelevant,
but
rather
as
a
connotation
of
depth
of
understanding
and
meaning
of
where
we
stand
in
the
world
so
take
a
moment,
and
if
the
impulse
moves
you
they
can
older
adult
for
their
contributions
and
the
trails
they
continue
to
blaze.
Thank
you.
So
much.

C
B
You,
madam
clerk,
we
have
on
Zoom
our
City
attorney
Dave
Womack.
We
have
analysts
business,
analysts,
trippy
Smith,
if
I'm
saying
the
name
correctly
and
Mr
Doug
Johnson
Johnson,
president
of
the
national
demographics
Corporation,
all
three
are
on
Zoom,
so
the
three
of
you.
You
have
the
floor.
We
look
forward
to
your
presentation.
B
J
Can
hi
Dave?
My
apologies?
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
and
honorable
members
of
the
city
council
tonight
is
the
second
of
the
four
required
public
hearings
we
have
associated
with
the
city's
transition
to
district-based
elections,
as
promised.
Tonight's
presentation
will
be
very
similar
to
our
first
presentation
with
one
distinction.
Since
the
last
time
we
met
we
conducted
our
first
Community
Workshop
and
that
Workshop
was
conducted
virtually
via
zoom
on
May
11th,
and
it
was
really
a
fantastic
presentation.
J
Lots
of
excellent
information
was
provided
in
lots
of
questions
were
answered
and
I
strongly
encourage
everyone
interested
in
this
process
to
attend
the
next
Workshop
that
we
have
scheduled
for
Saturday
June
3rd
tonight
will
be
tonight.
First,
we
will
hear
from
more
about
the
workshops
and
about
all
of
our
ongoing
public
Outreach
efforts
from
Sydney
overly.
She
is
the
business
analyst
with
tripepeppi
Smith
before
she
hands
off
the
Baton
over
to
our
demographer
Douglas
Johnson,
president
of
the
national
demographics
Corporation,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Sydney.
L
Thank
you.
David
share
your
screen.
L
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
Council,
thank
you
for
having
me
tonight.
My
name
is
Sydney
and
I'm,
with
tripepeppi
Smith
we've
been
helping
the
city
with
the
Outreach
efforts
for
the
district
formation
process,
and
there
are
a
few
highlights
I'd
like
to
go
over
tonight.
First
and
foremost,
the
city
launched
a
website
mapptoax.org
that
is
dedicated
to
districting.
This
webpage
is
a
One-Stop
shop
for
everything,
District
thing
related,
including
a
schedule
of
upcoming
meetings
and
mapping
tools.
L
At
the
beginning
of
this
process,
we
also
distributed
a
press
release
to
the
city's
media
contacts
outlining
the
districting
schedule
and
what
residents
can
expect
we're
working
with
the
city
to
provide
extensive
social
media
engagement,
including
posts
stories
and
event
reminders
across
all
platforms
and
we've
included
this
content
in
both
English
and
Spanish,
to
enhance
our
Outreach
efforts.
We've
also
contacted
nearly
50
Community
leaders,
organizations
and
residents
by
phone
and
email
to
encourage
them
to
get
involved
in
the
process
and
keep
them
informed
about
public
meetings.
L
We've
also
created
and
distributed
two
Flyers
so
far
in
English
and
Spanish
to
promote
the
upcoming
Community
meetings,
and
we
have
three
more
planned
throughout
this
process
as
well
as
David
mentioned,
we
hosted
our
first
virtual
Workshop
to
help
educate
the
community
on
the
process
and
gather
input
on
communities
of
Interest.
Last
week,
the
attendees
shared
a
lot
of
great
input
that
Doug
will
be
touching
on
in
just
a
moment,
and
we
have
three
more
workshops
scheduled
with
the
next
one
being
in
person
on
June
3rd.
L
K
K
Powerpoint
is
wanting
to
show
it
that
way.
Okay,
so
I
will
just
jump
in
for
the
council
members
and
those
that
were
here
at
the
last
hearing.
This
will
sound
familiar
as
it
will
for
those
that
made
it
to
the
community
forum,
but
by
Statute.
We
do
go
through
these
two
initial
hearings
to
introduce
residents
who
may
have
not
heard
of
this
yet
or
may
have
hear
new
information
or
have
new
thoughts
this
time
as
we
go
through
this
again,
these
are
introduction
sizes
designed
to
get
the
discussion
going.
K
We
have
no
draft
maps
at
this
point.
Let
me
start
off
by
saying,
first
of
all,
with
election
systems,
what
we're
talking
about
is
changing
how
the
council
is
elected
So.
Currently
we
have
either
city-wide
or
we're
called
at-large
elections
where
candidates
live
anywhere
and
everyone
kind
of
runs
against
each
other,
for
whatever
seats
are
up
in
that
given
year.
K
There
are
a
few
jurisdictions
left
in
the
state
that
are
from
District
or
have
what
are
called
residence
districts
where
you
have
to
live
in
a
district
you
want
to
represent,
but
the
election
is
still
city-wide,
but
under
the
California
Voting
Rights
Act,
that
is
considered
a
buy
district
election
system
I'm.
Sorry
that
is
considered
that
large
election
system,
not
a
bi-district
system.
So
it's
just
as
vulnerable
to
Legal
challenge
as
a
regular
at
large
system
and
as
a
result,
we're
seeing
those
slowly
disappear
from
California.
K
What
is
replacing
them
and
what
is
sweeping
through
the
state
is
by
District
elections
where
candidates
have
to
live
in
a
given
district
and
only
the
voters
in
that
District
elect
the
candidate
for
that
seat.
K
K
What
California
did
was
remove
two
of
those
tests
and
then
the
two
that
most
often
were
used
as
protection
from
jurisdictions
that
face
potential
challenges,
so
the
size
of
the
protected
class
population
and
evidence
about
whether
race
is
overtly
or
covertly
an
issue
in
elections
are
federal
tests
that
you
have
to
fail
before
a
judge
will
act
but
they're,
not
part
of
the
California
law.
So
all
California
relies
on
is
a
statistical
analysis
of.
K
K
As
a
result,
more
of
the
expense
than
of
anything
else
we're
seeing
a
change
of
districts
sweep
the
state
in
the
top
left.
You
can
see,
we've
had
at
least
275
school
districts
switch,
we've
had
36
Community
College
districts.
Now,
185
cities
have
switched
and
just
to
put
that
in
context
before
this
law
came
about,
there
were
only
29
cities
that
had
biodustry
collections,
so
we
had
29
before
this
all
was
in
place
and
we've
now
added
185
taking
us
well
over
200
in
California
cities
that
have
five
district
elections.
K
Now
one
County
Board
of
Supervisors
switched
only
one
because
it
was
the
last
one.
So
now
all
58
counties
used
by
District
elections
and
now
we're
seeing
more
and
more
activity
in
in
water
districts
and
other
Special
Districts,
where
legal
challenges
are
being
brought
and
again
it's
not
that
these
hundreds
of
jurisdictions
were
violating
anyone's
voting
rights
or
violating
anyone's
civil
rights.
It's
the
Financial
Risk,
it's
driving
the
size
of
this
wave
and
as
noted
in
the
cases
so
far
in
the
bottom
left
a
couple
of
jurisdictions.
K
A
very,
very
small
handful
of
jurisdictions
have
actually
fought
these
challenges
and
none
of
them
have
successfully
fought
off
the
challenge,
so
everyone
that
has
been
sued
so
far
has
lost
or
settled,
and
you
can
see
the
settlement
amounts
on
the
right-hand
side
and
that's
what's
driving
this
change.
Palmdale
thought
the
case
and
had
to
pay
4.7
million
Modesto
plot
and
had
to
pay
3
million
in
addition
to
their
own
legal
defense
fees.
So
these
huge
costs
are
now
driving
this
change
as
it
sweeps
the
state
so
under
state
law.
K
There
are
really
two
phases
to
this
process.
This
is
the
second
of
the
initial
hearings
required
by
state
law,
where
we
don't
have
draft
Maps.
Yet
this
is
just
to
get
people
informed
and
get
the
process
going
and
then
the
drop
Maps
residents
can
submit
them
anytime
and
they'll
all
be
processed
and
posted
at
least
seven
days
prior
to
the
third
hearing,
which
is
currently,
as
you
just
heard,
scheduled
for
June
20th
out
of
that
meeting
can
become
public
comment
and
Council
comment
to
have
map
revisions.
K
Residents
may
get
ideas
for
new
maps
and
so
again
at
least
seven
days
prior
to
July,
11th
it'll
be
the
fourth,
so
we'll
do
it
before
that
we'll
be.
Is
that
accepting
public
maps
and
then
processing
and
posting
those
maps
for
residents
to
to
see
and
discuss
at
the
July
11th
meeting
with
adoption
currently
scheduled
for
the
July
18th
meeting?
This
is
a
pretty
fast
process,
but
that
is
also
set
by
Statute.
K
We
have
90
days
really
after
the
demand
letter
came
in
from
the
plaintiffs
to
get
this
done
before
we
go
back
into
being
exposed
to
potential
litigation.
So
in
order
to
keep
those
costs
down,
we
have
to
go
visit
through
this
process
fairly
quickly
when
drawing
Maps.
There
are
really
three
sets
of
rules
and
goals
for
this
process.
The
first
on
the
left
is
the
federal
laws.
So
districts
have
to
be
equal
in
population,
with
a
very
small
couple
of
percent
margin
of
variation
in
there.
K
We
need
to
be
sure
that
the
districts
comply
with
the
federal
Voting
Rights
Act,
which
governs
not
just
whether
you
have
districts
but
how
those
districts
are
drawn
and
really
it
says
if
you
have
a
neighborhood
that
is
particularly
concentrated
of
a
protected
class,
so
Latinos
African-Americans,
Asian,
Americans
or
Native
Americans.
We
have
a
neighborhood,
that's
particularly
heavily
populated
by
one
of
those
groups.
You
cannot
divide
that
neighborhood
in
a
way
that
dilutes
their
voting
strength
and
yet,
at
the
same
time
the
federal
law
also
says
no
racial,
gearing
Mandarin.
K
K
So
those
are
the
federal
requirements,
and
now
we
have
estate
requirements
in
prioritized
order
in
state
law.
First,
we
have
districts
must
be
geographically
contiguous,
so
the
pieces
of
a
district
must
touch
each
other.
K
K
We
want
to
use
things
like
Rivers
freeways
and
major
roads
that
are
easy
for
residents
to
understand,
and
the
fourth
and
final
California
Criterion
is
to
keep
the
districts
compact
and
California
defines
that
is
don't
bypass,
one
group
of
people
to
get
to
a
more
distant
group
of
people
unless
you're
complying
with
one
of
the
higher
ranked
criteria.
When
you
do
that,
there's
also
a
Prohibition
noted
at
the
bottom
here
California
prohibits
favoring
or
discriminating
against
a
political
party
when
drawing
the
lines
so
we're
just
not
using
any
partisan
data.
K
When
we
look
at
these
lines,
we're
focusing
on
neighborhoods
and
communities
in
the
city,
so
those
are
the
federal
and
state
requirements
or
rules.
The
courts
have
also
said
there
are
other
considerations
that
are
acceptable
considerations.
These
are
usually
called
traditional
districting
principles,
so
these
are
not
requirements.
You
don't
have
to
do
these,
but
the
courts
have
said
it's
acceptable
to
consider
these
things
once
you've
met
all
the
other
statutory
requirements.
K
One
of
the
two
is
respecting
the
voters,
choices
or
continuity
in
office.
This
is
the
idea
of
where
we
can,
within
the
other
criteria,
trying
to
avoid
pairing
council
members.
The
reason
for
this
is
to
leave
re-election
decisions
up
to
the
voters,
the
voters
elected
the
current
Council.
It
should
be
up
to
the
voters
This
Time
by
District,
to
to
decide
whether
or
not
a
given
council
members
are
in
reelection.
K
Again
it's
not
a
requirement
that
they
be
in
separate
seats.
It's
just
a
traditional
practice
to
try
to
have
them
in
separate
seats
where
you
can.
K
The
other
traditional
District
principle
is
future
population
growth
to
a
very
limited
extent.
Within
that
couple
of
percent
margin
that
I
mentioned
in
the
equal
population
requirement,
you
can
under
populate
a
district.
If
you
know
it's
going
to
grow
faster
than
the
other
districts
again,
it's
not
required,
but
it
is
an
allowable
explanation
for
why
one
District
might
be
smaller
than
the
others
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
data
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
this
data,
but
for
every
map
actually
for
every
District
in
every
map.
K
Dividing
that
by
five
gets
us
each
district
must
have
just
over
25
000
people.
So
that's
our
Target
number
25
427.,
then
there's
a
lot
of
data
that
can
be
used
for
identifying
communities
of
interest
if
residents
feel
it's
an
appropriate
definition,
so
age,
language
spoken
at
home,
household
income
levels
and
the
ones
that
come
up
most
often
a
single
family
versus
multi-family
houses
and
renter
occupied
versus
owner-occupied
housing.
K
Looking
visually
at
the
voting
rain
attack
data,
Latino
citizen
voting
age
population,
that's
what
cvap
stands
for
the
citizens
of
voting
age.
K
This
is
the
best
measure
according
to
the
courts
of
the
eligible
voter
population,
so
where
it's
purple
Latinos
are
less
than
25
percent
of
the
eligible
voters
and
where
it's
green,
yellow
and
red
Latinos
are
a
majority
of
the
eligible
voters
in
those
blocks,
and
you
can
see
the
colors
generally
get
what
we
got
warmer:
more
blue,
green,
yellow
and
red
along
the
two
freeway
corridors,
and
so
those
are
the
concentrations.
Really.
You
have
a
couple
of
spread
out
concentrations,
but
each
of
those
Pockets
we
want
to
keep
intact.
As
I
mentioned.
K
When
talking
about
the
federal
voting
for
Asian
Americans,
we
don't
really
get
much
in
the
way
of
a
geographic
concentration
of
the
city's
Asian
American
population,
a
couple
places
where
it's
more
blue
than
purple,
but
still
not
areas
where
we're
getting
a
majority
in
any
way.
That
would
impact
the
demographics
of
an
entire
Council
District
and
similarly
for
African
Americans,
there's
one
census
block
up
in
the
north.
K
It
is
majority
African-American,
but
the
numbers
in
that
block
are
not
going
to
impact
the
population
of
an
entire
Council
district
and,
of
course,
we're
not
going
to
divide
that
one
block.
So
the
only
real
voting
rights
concerns
we
have
to
keep
an
eye
on
is
that
Latino
matching
those
concentrations,
because
they're
the
only
ones
geographically
concentrated
here
are
some
maps
showing
the
other
factors.
Of
course,
all
the
factors
that
are
available
can
be
mapped
and
are
available
on
maps,
so
you
can
see
income
in
the
top
right
below.
K
K
and
on
the
left
we
get
children
under
age
18
at
home,
so
over
on
the
west
side
of
town
you're,
more
likely
to
have
households
where
there
are
children,
age,
17
or
younger
in
the
household.
K
So
these
are
considerations
that
residents
might
want
to
think
about
as
their
evaluating
or
drawing
Maps.
K
So
I
mentioned
this
state
law
for
keeping
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
Interest
together
and
part
of
this
process,
and
a
big
focus
of
of
these
initial
two
hearings
is:
what
are
the
city's
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
Interest,
so
residents
have
thoughts
and
suggestions,
or
the
council
does
as
well
I
want
to
what?
What
do
you
define?
Is
your
neighborhood
and
in
particular,
what.
A
K
K
It
could
be,
traffic
could
be
limited,
English
fluency
in
certain
areas,
something
that
is
interrelated
with
or
impacted
by
a
city
policy
is
really
what
we're
looking
for
for
communities
of
Interest.
K
K
There
is
a
second
piece
of
the
community
of
Interest
question,
though
under
state
law.
We
do
want
to
know
when
you
think
about
your
issue
group
or
your
socioeconomic
group,
that
you
think
is
a
community
of
Interest.
Does
it
benefit
from
being
included
in
a
single
District?
Often,
the
answer
is
yes,
because
that
puts.
K
K
It
still
takes
a
majority
of
the
council
to
do
anything
to
get
any
policies
passed
or
to
get
it
action
taken
by
the
city,
and
so
it
may
be
that
you,
while
you
were,
have
a
shared
interest
or
socioeconomic
characteristic,
and
maybe
that
you
think
your
area
would
be
better
if
it
was
divided,
so
it
had
multiple
council
members
answering
to
it
and
coming
out
and
knocking
on
doors
and
campaigning
in
that
community
of
Interest.
K
This
often
happens
in
areas
like
senior
community
housing,
where
voting
turnout
is
really
high
and
they
know
there'll
be
a
big
influence,
even
if
they're
divided
in
two
seats,
and
so
they
want
to
be
divided.
Two
seats
could
be
an
economic
area
Like
a
downtown
area.
So
when
you're
thinking
about
communities
of
interest
to
propose
thing
about,
how
do
you
define
it
and
does
it
benefit
or
would
it
benefit
from
being
entirely
encompassed
in
one
District?
If
that's
even
possible,
see
well,
it
does
mention.
K
K
That's
what
we're
looking
for
in
public
input
in
this
initial
phase
before
we
have
any
draft
maps,
and
so
at
the
initial
hearing,
and
in
particular
at
the
May
10th
Community
Forum,
we
did
get
a
number
of
comments
regarding
various
neighborhoods
and
communities.
I've
summarized
them
here,
they've.
Obviously,
the
discussion
is
much
more
in-depth
at
that
Forum.
But
things
that
did
come
up
are
the
freeway
corridors
have
similar
characteristics.
K
A
K
And
other
folks
mentioned
that
the
areas
kind
of
West,
Westlake,
Village
adjacent
are
are
somewhat
more
similar
to
Westlake
Village,
perhaps
than
other
parts
of
the
city
in
some
characteristics.
K
So
these
are
not
things
that
you
need
to
agree
or
disagree
with
we're
looking
for
a
wide
variety
of
input,
but
these
are
just
examples
of
things
we've
heard
about
so
far,
so
lastly,
as
I
wrap
up
the
presentation
here.
In
addition
to
sharing
your
thoughts,
you
can
also
actually
draw
the
map
yourself.
We
have
a
lot
of
different
tools
for
people
to
dive
into
the
depth
they
want,
but
I
do
want
to
emphasize
that
these
tools
are
empowering
tools.
K
There's
no
requirement
to
do
any
of
this
they're,
simply
tools
that
want
it
for
people
that
want
to
use
them
to
take
the
next
step
to
dive
in,
but,
as
it
says,
on
the
side,
whether
you
use
the
online
mapping
tool
paper
kit
that
I'll
talk
about
in
a
moment
or
just
draw
on
a
napkin
or
share
your
thoughts
verbally.
We
welcome
your
your
maps
and
thoughts
so,
first
of
all,
there's
a
interactive
map.
Essentially,
this
is
Google
Maps
with
overlays,
and
so
it's
you
can
see
here.
K
The
population
units
I'll
talk
about
from
the
paper
map
in
a
moment,
but
the
key
thing
is,
on
the
right
hand,
side
are
all
these
layers.
As
there
are
draft
maps
all
the
drop
Maps
will
get
added
to
this
table,
so
you
can
check
to
go
through
the
maps.
You
can
enter
an
address
and
zoom
in
and
see
which
district
you're
in
each
map,
and
then
you
can
see
kind
of
shaded
out
in
the
right
hand,
side.
K
But
this
tool
is
just
for
reviewing
maps
and
viewing
them.
It
doesn't.
Allow
you
to
draw
a
map.
The
simplest
way
to
draw
a
map
is
to
take
one
of
the
paper
public
participation
kits.
These
are
PDF
files.
You
can
download
off
the
project
site
or
pick
up
from
City
Hall,
and
you
see
these
cities
divided
up
into
small
Geographic
areas,
each
one
with
a
number
on
it.
That's
the
number
of
people.
K
K
But
if
you
want
to
get
more
fine-tuned,
if
you
want
to
dive
in
and
and
look
at
more
data
demographic
data
or
be
able
to
draw
it
city
block
by
city
block
rather
than
population
unit
by
population
unit,
then
you
want
to
try
the
online
tool
it's
a
very
powerful
tool.
It
has
a
ton
of
data
and
you
have
all
kinds
of
capabilities
in
here.
It
does
take
a
little
bit
to
figure
out
so
on
the
website.
K
There's
a
a
short
four
minute:
how-to
video
that
you
just
re
once
you
breathe
through
that
this
will
all
be
really
easy,
but
it
really
boils
down
to
a
paintbrush
and
an
eraser,
and
you
just
choose
the
color
of
the
district.
You
want
to
draw
and
start
painting
in
these
precincts
to
draw
your
districts
until
you
get
to
that
number
and
of
course
the
website
keeps
track
of
that
data
and
will
give.
K
Is
that
you
can
work
on
it
with
friends,
you
can
start,
it
come
back
to
it.
So
you
do
have
to
log
in,
and
you
can
come,
come
back
in
and
go
out
as
you
work
on
your
map
and
fine
tune
it
once
you're
done,
you
do
have
to
click
the
share
button
up
in
the
in
the
top
right
and
it'll.
Give
you
an
email
link
and
you
email
that
link
into
the
city
to
the
email
address.
I'll,
give.
K
K
So
that
concludes
the
the
presentation.
Hopefully
we'll
get
some
comments
and
and
as
Cindy
mentioned
it,
we
there's
been
a
lot
of
comments
already
at
the
forums
about
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
Interest.
K
If
there's
any
questions
now
about
the
mapping
tool,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them
as
well
and
of
course,
at
the
forums
they
do
a
full
demo
of
the
of
the
tools
there
is
also
I
should
mention
a
survey.
So
if
you
go
to
the
project
website,
yeah
T,
Oakes,
dot,
org,
slash
survey,
you
can
just
write
up
a
write-up
about
your
community
of
interest.
You
don't
have
to
map
it,
just
describe
it
and
of
course
you
can
share.
You
can
learn
a
lot
more
at
that
website.
K
K
D
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation
very
interesting
to
hear
the
public
comments.
In
addition
to
those
raised
at
the
workshop,
I
received
a
call
from
a
resident
who
expressed
a
concern
that
this
exercise
would
in
some
way
take
away
their
rights,
and
so
my
only
question
is:
is
there
anything
about
this
exercise
that
would
take
away
any
right
from
any
Resident
that
they
enjoy
today.
J
J
I
suppose,
if
if
they
wanted
to
be
able
to
vote
or
once
once
you
move
into
a
district
election
you're
only
voting
for
the
members
or
the
officials
that
want
to
run
for
that
District,
so
you
would
lose
the
ability
to
vote
for
someone
in
another
District
but
I
think
that's
the
only
one
that
I
I
can
think
of
and
I
wouldn't
I
wouldn't
characterize
that
as
a
right.
But
it's
it
would
be
different
Doug.
Do
you
have
any
any
comments
that
you'd
want
to
add
on
to
that?
No.

Madam

public
comments,

I.
Thank
you,
Mr

Mr

for
your
terrific
presentation.
Thank
you

much.
Look
forward
to
this
continued
process
and
I
do
ask
that
our
city
participated
in
this
process
by
going
online
to
the
website
that
was
given
and
make
your
comments.
We
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
with
that
staff.
Any
comments
or
thoughts.
