"Racially polarized voting" means voting in which there is a difference in the choice of candidates or other electoral choices that are preferred by voters in a protected class, and in the choice of candidates and electoral choices that are preferred by voters in the rest of the electorate (Elections Code Section 14026, subd. (e)); and WHEREAS, under the provisions of California Elections Code Section 10010, a city that changes from an at -large city council method of election to a district -based city council method of election must hold a series of public hearings, which includes at least two public hearings regarding potential voting district boundaries prior to the release and consideration of any draft voting district maps, and at least two public hearings following the release of draft voting district maps; and WHEREAS, on February 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 17-22 declaring its intention to transition from an at -large election system to a district -based election system in conformance with the CVRA and establishing the timeframe for doing so; and WHEREAS, the City retained the services of a qualified demographer to provide a detailed analysis of the City's current demographics and to prepare draft maps that divide the City into voting districts in a manner consistent with the intent and purpose of the CVRA and all other applicable laws; and WHEREAS, as required by California Elections Code Section 10010, the City Council held public hearings on April 19, 2022 and May 17, 2022 to consider input from the public on the composition of the City Council districts and criteria for determining district boundaries; and Reso. No. 105-22, Item 4.5, Adopted 09/06/2022 Page 1 of 3 WHEREAS, as required by California Elections Code Section 10010, the City Council held public hearings on June 21, 2022, and July 19, 2022, where the public was invited to provide comments and input on the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections; and WHEREAS, throughout the foregoing process, the City engaged in a significant amount of public outreach and engagement beyond the public hearings and other procedures required by California Elections Code Section 10010, including but not limited to hosting two community workshop meetings, creating a dedicated district elections web page and a multi -media outreach approach with significant social media engagement. Additional outreach included a Citywide Community Workshop postcard to all Dublin postal customers, several press releases, emails to website districting subscribers, calls and emails to civic and community business organizations, and process flyers posted to the website and distributed at the Dublin Farmers' Market; and WHEREAS, the City Council considered all oral and written information, testimony, and comments received during the public review process. All draft maps were published more than seven days before the public hearing at which they were discussed; and WHEREAS, at a public hearing on July 19, 2022, the City Council agreed to sequence elections such that elections for Districts 1 and 3 would occur at the November 2024 municipal election, and every four years thereafter, and elections for Districts 2 and 4 would occur at the November 2026, and every four years thereafter; and WHEREAS, at a public hearing on August 16, 2022, the City Council voted to proceed with a final map, identified as Map 112, and introduced Ordinance No. 10-22 to establish a district - based electoral system. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED after due consideration of the considerable public comment and testimony received, the City Council of the City of Dublin adopts the map attached as "Exhibit A" to this Resolution as the City of Dublin Official District Map; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, a copy of this Official District Map shall be maintained at all times in the Office of the City Clerk until the map is superseded or replaced by subsequent City Council resolution. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the City Clerk is directed to provide a copy of the Official District Map to the Alameda County Elections Division. {Signatures on the following page} Reso.
