As a result, beginning with the November 2016 election, City Council members other than the Mayor must live in and be nominated and elected from a geographic district, only by voters of that district; and WHEREAS, at the November 4, 2014 election the voters of the City of Anaheim approved Measure M, which amended the City Charter to require that, commencing with the November 2016 general municipal election, the size of the Council increase from four members to six members, plus a Mayor. Neither Measure L nor Measure M changed the method of electing the Mayor of Anaheim; the Mayor continues to be elected city-wide; and WHEREAS, on April 7, 2015, the City Council adopted City Council Resolution No. 2015-147, which created the Advisory Committee on Electoral Districts, composed of five retired judges that served on the Orange County Superior Court ("Committee"); one of the judges selected for the Committee is an Anaheim resident and the remaining four judges were selected by random draw to serve on the Committee; and WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim, the Anaheim City Council and the Committee actively sought participation from the City's voters, residents, community groups, businesses and other stakeholders in undertaking a process to create City Council district maps for use commencing with the November 2016 election. In furtherance of encouraging community participation, the City engaged in a robust outreach program that included: use of public service announcements transmitted by local television, cable, YouTube and print media outlets (in both English and Spanish); posting and publication of meeting agendas (English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean); a dedicated City webpage with information regarding the districting process (with capability to be translated into multiple languages); community meetings and Committee meetings (with Spanish interpretation services provided at each meeting and other languages, upon request); multi-lingual flyers placed at all city libraries, community centers and city public counters as well as availability for distribution by community members, groups, and field staff; informational mailings in City utility bills and various City publications/newsletters; press releases; and communications on the City's social media outlets.

Committee meetings were held throughout the City at City Hall, the Brookhurst Community Center, the East Anaheim Community Center, the Ponderosa Resource Family Center, Western High School and Loara High School in order to encourage community -wide participation. As a result of these meetings and the City's outreach efforts, approximately 712 participants attended these Committee meetings, with approximately 157 individuals giving testimony. Additionally, City staff presented information on the districting process to the four neighborhood councils in the month of July. A total of 5 draft sample map plans were prepared. by the demographic consultant retained by the City and a total of 32 maps were submitted by members of the public for community input and the Committee's consideration.

Members of the public that submitted maps were provided the opportunity to present their maps to the Committee; and WHEREAS, following the described notice, inquiry and outreach process the Committee deliberated on a number of maps at meetings held on August, 19, August 26 and September 8, 2015. At the August 19th Committee meeting, the Committee reviewed all maps submitted by the public and the draft maps of the consultant demographer. The Committee took the first step towards narrowing the number of maps and identified five maps for further focus and review. At the August 26ah Committee meeting, the Committee further directed staff to return with three maps (originally submitted by members of the public and revised by both the public presenters and pursuant to Committee direction to staff) for further focused review and these maps were thereafter termed "Map I ", "Map 2 and "Map 3" in Committee materials. After considering these maps at the September 8th meeting as well as considering all public testimony on any submitted map, the Committee directed staff to prepare a Final Report recommending Map 3, termed therein and herein as "Recommended Plan (Map 3)" to the City Council for consideration and potential adoption; and WHEREAS, at a duly called meeting on September 16, 2015 the Committee took the following action: The Committee unanimously adopted a Final Report recommending the City Council consider adopting the Recommended Plan (Map 3) as the districting map for the six City Council Districts.

Section 500.1 permits the City Council to specify permissible criteria for the creation of Districts; and WHERAS, Charter Sections 501 and 503 specify other criteria for the eligibility of Council members and the procedures under which vacancies on the City Council are filled; and WHEREAS, Charter Section 505 vests all powers of the City in the City Council, except as otherwise provided in the Charter; and WHEREAS, on October 6, 2015, the City Council received and filed the Final Report of the Committee along with its recommendations and heard a presentation from the Committee Chairman regarding the Final Report.
