Transcript of Recording of 2022-01-24 (City Redistricting Meeting 01242022 Part 1 of 2): 312 passages, 4,115 words

Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's minutes do that (above). A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. No recording can be started from here.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

would assess our redistricting maps against heat maps with ethnicity and a language preference and voter participation data.
[00:01:33] Speaker 3
Mm-hmm.
[00:01:33] Speaker 4
And I don't think we have done that.
[00:01:37] Speaker 3
So my understanding is that we were given the voter information, which is also included in the report and in the packages. We were given that information to be able to consider. ‸ And we had the opportunity to consider it. But I don't know if we ever took that information and discussed it openly as opposed to being given the information to consider in our decision making. So I'm fine with having a discussion on that if you see a particular issue. And I'm sure that if there is an issue, we could vote on it and resolve it. Okay. So just a moment. Let's get through these minutes. And then we'll talk about that issue. So

[00:02:47] Speaker 4
Understand why our... I don't know how to make this
[00:02:53] Speaker 5 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices
motion. I
[00:02:54] Speaker 4
want to have a discussion about why we did... Why we are not looking at heat maps. This was the first... You know, pictures are worth a thousand words. And it's one thing to look at tabular data. And it's another thing to see a distribution visually. That's why it's... ‸ This set of data is very well suited to visualization on a map. And I think that's... In fact, you made the initial request for it in our first meeting.

And just to make sure that we were... Had been responsible. And I think we agreed that it was all right to do this at the end. That no one was intending to... Use this data to manipulate our process. But just to make sure that we were... We had done it right. And it seems like we've lost that continuity from the beginning.
[00:03:58] Speaker 5 + overlapping voice · overlapping voices
And
[00:03:59] Speaker 4
if everyone agrees not to do it, okay. I'm still asking that we do it. I think we should have. But I just want to make sure that I have followed up and said we did agree. I think it's important we didn't do it. I will go with what the group says in this. But I ‸ just want us to be mindful.
[00:04:19] Speaker 3
Absolutely. That's more than fair.

Mr. Chair, can I read you the motion as amended and approved from that meeting? Sure. And again, with all due respect, this is what is recorded as

[00:05:12] Speaker 3
Thank you, sir. And I

because I thought, what's happened? Why aren't we going to do this? And the first request was from ‸ chair. In order to assist us in complying with the consent decree, will there be a map that maps out specific minority communities? I saw a breakdown of demographics, but I didn't see anything that pinpointed specific minority communities so that we could draw those lines and

would be capable based on the data provided in the census of creating a heat map based on ethnicity so that we were able to see the distribution of various populations across the district and that we could zoom in to a very fine level of granularity.

fact, it wasn't possible with the census data, but that ‸ was part of why we asked for it from the supervisor of elections. Later in minute 53, I asked again, do you think it is necessary for Mr. Burke to, ‸ I do think it is necessary for Mr. Burke to provide that data

So ‸ that motion evolved. I think there was perhaps confusion about what is data, what is data that is developed in support of a GIS map layer.
[00:06:57] No voice detected
So
[00:06:57] Speaker 4
again, I just want, I want to raise this because I think it was important that we did it, but I will go with the group.
[00:07:05] Speaker 2
Understood. Mr. Chair, if I may. Yes. My first, I'll say that I was not expecting to have this discussion today, so I did not go back and review the video in detail, but I can tell you that my recollection from the meeting at which the supervisor of elections data was, was provided was that we looked at those things. We went through and actually commented on certain pages

Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:07:33–00:07:37 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
[00:07:37] Speaker 2
and we also had some tabular data that was attached to some of the maps that we looked at. And my personal comment was that I was able to visualize ‸ these things based on the tabular data in front of me, and I personally didn't feel the need to have a separate map developed just to show those things. There was some discussion that ensued, and I think I had other members of the board agree with that.

that we had the information that was requested, and we were able to work with that without having to generate yet another map. And also with regard to compliance with the requirements of the consent decree, it was fairly clear that the consent decree, which affects only District 1, was well in compliance because we had no substantial change to the boundaries of District 1, and that the neighborhoods that were of concern to District 1 within the consent decree context were intact and well represented based on the overall numbers.

Actually, I didn't make a motion. I just wanted us to have a discussion as to what happened. Oh,
[00:09:04] Speaker 3
that was it?
[00:09:05] Speaker 4
That's it.
[00:09:05] Speaker 3
Oh, I'm sorry. I apologize. Okay. Well, it sounds like we've had that discussion, so let's move on to the December 14th meeting minutes. I just have a small correction on page 4.

And it should reflect what he is against is not giving them all respect. And so if we could just remove the first not after he is, I think it would accurately reflect my words.

super so in the first paragraph on page 3 I just wanted to clarify in the end it was my understanding that there is in fact no law that prevents a redistricting commission from breaking up a census district but it is a practical limitation based on an inability to get as accurate data and so I want I would like us to have that clearly in the records for future commissions just to understand because there seemed to be some confusion or and I am still not certain if ‸ that is a law or not a law

believe that it was it was clarified that it is not against the law to break up the districts but those voting blocks are what we use because otherwise we would have no way of ‸ going well I guess we could do our own census and go into the communities to figure out who would live where but we decided in our discussion for purposes of time that that would be impractical and that's part of the reason why we ended up making some of the decisions that we made so I believe that that was clarified

I don't know the meeting but again the attorney is on the phone. so if you Attorney Garganese
[00:22:53] Speaker 7
yes Mr. Chairman I don't recall the meeting when we had that discussion either We did talk about, you know the practical challenges to trying to split census blocks But there are also, you know very significant legal concerns with trying to split blocks we talked about the city charter requiring the use of the census for purposes of drawing single member districts in

for even attempting to split census blocks could lead to certain challenges legal challenges such as you know arbitrariness you know you know the census block data trying to split the blocks could result in like arbitrary or wrong calculations regarding population which creates a legal defect So there's a host of challenges for sure assuming arguendo you can even split legally split a census block

Transcript of Recording of 2022-01-24 (City Redistricting Meeting 01242022 Part 2 of 2): 332 passages, 4,178 words

Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's minutes do that (above). A timestamp opens this recording at that passage.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

I think this was a great start, and I was very happy to see the census blocks listed in the back. So that if you do a quick scan through, you can see kind of what they're like. So I thought it was, that was, thank you for including that.

where they list the charter requirements, and then he gave us a slide that talked about the principles that we were supposed to also be looking at. Okay.
[00:01:20] Speaker 1
Just a moment, please. I believe that Mr. City Manager is saying that it's in there. Let's first see and make sure it's in there. And if it is, if there's an issue with where it is, we can have a discussion about that.
[00:01:32] Speaker 3
I know what principles she's talking about there. There was a PowerPoint presentation. Yes. By the attorney.

Yeah. Okay.
[00:01:44] Speaker 2
‸ Yeah. So then the next thing that I found was that we talked, it starts to talk about methodology. And there are a couple pieces in the methodology I think we should break out. One is schedule, because I didn't, it looks like we actually had two schedule requirements, that a redistricting commission has to meet at least 120 days before the next city council election. But we also had the requirement that we were felt under the gun for, which was by 120 days after appointment. And so if those are in fact both requirements, that might be.

think maybe, like you said, just a simple addition that the district and commission was required to act within 120 days of its appointment. That seems to be missing on page two. It has the, you know, the formation of the district and commission one year prior to the election.

Okay. Um, in approaching our process, we, there were two different things. One is the, the data that we worked from the census data. And then there were also the, the process by which we analyzed and reviewed that. And so I was thinking that perhaps because it's important that we just call out that data source. Separately as a subheading and have that paragraph be by itself.
[00:08:13] Speaker 7
Chairman, uh, the data source was the criteria, which we were given in regards to the census, as well as what we got from our, um,

Chair, my concern, my concern about this is separate from that. I mean, maybe it's a sunshine violation, maybe it isn't. But my concern is that, uh, with all good intention, uh, Vice Chair submitted what she thought was a, a good proposal that we should consider. Uh, we had discussion about that at our last meeting. Uh, ‸ after discussion, we voted not to include or consider that particular proposal. Therefore, having taken a proposal that was not accepted and didn't, uh, receive thorough public consideration and including that in the official record is not the right thing to do. Uh,

The report

basically, basically follows our discussion from start to finish and all of the potential changes and suggestions that were made along the way.
