There was minimal attendance at the meetings held in supervisorial districts 1 and 2 and more attendance in the remaining districts.Attached as attachment 1 is a synopsis of the comments at each meeting. In general the concerns expressed by residents were as follows: 1. Residents of the City of Walnut Creek expressed concerns that the city might be divided among two or three districts and expressed preference for the city remaining as a whole in District 3. 2. Other residents and elected officials of District 3 felt that by dividing Walnut Creek into more than one district that the community of interest between Walnut Creek and the San Ramon Valley would be divided. 3. Residents of Saranap asked that consideration be given to keeping the area of Saranap in one district(either District 2 or 3). 4. Residents of Pleasant Hill were concerned that their city might not be included in District 4. 5. At the meeting in Pittsburg, several comments reflected the concerns that Bay Point might be divided between two districts or not included within District 5. Other speakers voiced concerns that Pittsburg remain entirely in District 5 while other speakers felt that the scenarios in which Brentwood is redistricted to either District 3 or 4 would break up the community of interest between the cities in East County and would divide the voting power of Hispanics living in the area. 6. At the Antioch meeting, residents of District 5 again expressed concerns about dividing the four cities (Pittsburg,Antioch, Oakley and Brentwood). 7. The last meeting in Brentwood is scheduled for May 315'after the writing of this board order. Staff will give an oral report during the hearing on the results of that meeting. The meetings in San Pablo (District 1), Walnut Creek (District 3), Concord (District 4), and Brentwood (District 5)will be shown on CCTV at the following times: District 1, Monday, June 11, 9:00pm District 1, Wednesday, June 13, 3:00pm District 3, Wednesday, June 13, 9:30pm District 3, Friday, June 15, 10:00am District 4, Monday, June 18, 9:00pm District 4,Wednesday, June 20, 3:00pm District 5,Wednesday, June 20, 9:30pm District 5,Thursday , June 21, 1:00pm (CCTV staff advises that all programming is subjected to change by CCTV without prior notification and suggests checking County Net Interactive, CCTV's electronic bulletin board for any CCTV programming changes) The meeting in Pinole (District 2) was taped and is being shown locally in West County. i ' a7VCIYNKIV 1 Supervisorial District 1 Jurisdiction Population Bay View/Mont.

LM:ad cc: County Administrator Cleric of the Board of Supervisors County Counsel s:carwery/UndahwA"d redistricting ATTACHMENT 1 To Board Order dated June 5, 2001 Concerning Supervisorial Redistricting DISTRICT 1 May 16, 2001 at the Maple Hall in the City of San Pablo Two Members of the public from EI Sobrante were present. No Comments DISTRICT 2 May 17, 2001 at the Pinole City Council Chambers No members of the public were in attendance. May 23, 2001 at the Lafayette Community Center Two Members of the public were in attendance. No Comments. May 29, 2001 at the Board of Supervisors Chambers in Martinez No members of the public were in attendance. DISTRICT 3 May 9, 2001 at the Walnut Creek City Council Chambers. Twenty-three members of the public were in attendance and eleven spoke on the redistricting issue. Ken Peifer from Rossmoor opposes any scenario in which the Rossmoor area (census tract 3511) is redistricted to another district or in which the city is split into more than one district. A letter from Mr. Peifer is attached. Walnut Creek's Mayor Kathy Hicks favors scenarios 1 A or 6A which keeps all cities and communities intact (within one district). She feels that Walnut Creek should remain wholly in District 3 and encourages the Board of Supervisors to keep to the principal of not dividing cities and places. Nancy Tatarka, the Vice-Mayor of San Ramon, enumerated the many ways that the San Ramon Valley and Walnut Creek shared a community of interest: transportation issues; college and library districts; issue related to the 1680 corridor; and other shared issues and problems. She favors either scenario 1 A or 6A. John Rusek of the Saranap Homeowners Association requested that the Saranap area be in one district, either District 2 or 3, but not split. Millie Greenberg favors keeping District 3 together so that the subregion's integrity stays intact. Speakers who expressed concern with the redistricting problems that are being faced in east county were Gene Wolfe and Gwen Regalia, who also discussed the importance of Walnut Creek remaining within a single district. Frank Quesada, Mayor of Pittsburg, felt the cities should remain in District 5. Lou Rosas, from Latinos United for Political Empowerment and Mary Rosas, from the Latinos Leadership Council, also felt Brentwood and the other cities should remain in District 5. Alieda Rios also supported leaving Brentwood in District 5 and moving Bay Point to District 4. Alan Valentino, Jimmy Dorsey and Willy Mims also provided comments. May 24, 2001 at the Antioch City Council Chambers Seven members of the public were in attendance. Don Freitas, Mayor of Antioch, suggested that perhaps there could be a scenario where Brentwood, Antioch, Oakley and most of Pittsburg remains in District 5 while Discovery Bay, Byron and the Byron area would be in District 3. Jim Conley also felt it was important for the four cities to remain together since they share a community of interest. He favors a modification of scenario 8. A copy of a letter to Supervisor Uilkema from the Donald P. Freitas, the Major of Antioch, and a resolution regarding redistricting from the Antioch City Council is attached. May 31, 2001 at the Brentwood Community Center At the time of the writing of this board order, the meeting in the City of Brentwood had not been held. Staff will give an oral report during the hearing about this meeting. ADDENDUM TO ITEM D.3 June 5,2001 Agenda On this date,the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing regarding the supervisorial redistricting issue. Dennis Barry,Community Development Department Director,and Linda Moulton,Community Development Department,presented the oral report and staff s recommendations. The Board discussed the matter. The Chair called for public comment,and the following people appeared to comment: Phyllis Roff,2893 San Carlos Drive,Walnut Creek; Edward J.Emmons,Fox Creek Homeowner's Assoc., 1358 Las Juntas Way,Walnut Creek; Sheila DeKalb,Democrats for Rossmoor,649 Terra California#5,Walnut Creek; Sue Rainey,City of Walnut Creek, 160 Bexley Place,Walnut Creek; Nancy Tatarka, 12207 Toluca Drive,San Ramon; Gwen Watson,League of Women Voters,306 Maverick Ct.,Lafayette; Hillary Fleischer,2340 Westcliffe Lane,#I,Walnut Creek; Beth Needel,743 Woodwind Place,Walnut Creek; Marisa Samuels, 1101 Sebastian Lane,Walnut Creek; Marcus O'Connell,2061 Grant Street,#305,Concord; Carole Mason,255 Northgate Road,Walnut Creek; Margaret(Peggy)Mandley,Diablo MAC,P.O.Box 692,Diablo; Lynette Tanner-Busby,Contra Costa Centre Assoc., 1350 Treat Blvd.,Walnut Creek; Doris Copperman,Grey Panthers,3 Penrith Walk,Pleasant Hill; Ken Peifer,Golden Rain Board,Rossmoor,Walnut Creek; Jerry Miller,3171 Hambletonian Lane,Walnut Creek; JoAnn Hanna,950 Trails End Drive,Walnut Creek; Ed Skoog,Walnut Creek Homeowner's Council,258 Shady Lane,Walnut Creek; Mike Daley,Siena Club,729Everett Street,El Cerrito; Vicki Nuettel,3115 Hackney Lane,Walnut Creek;and David Barnes,215 Christine Drive,San Pablo. Those desiring to speak having been heard,the Board continued their discussions. Supervisor Gioia moved to eliminate Scenario#7. He commented that if it were kept intact,the population would make District 5 excessively large. Supervisor Glover seconded the motion. The vote was as follows: AYES: SUPERVISORS GIOIA,GERBER,DeSAULNIER,GLOVER and UILKEMA NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE Discussions continued.Supervisor DeSaulnier suggested that a scenario be developed where the three Supervisors which do not have portions of far East County,each be given a part of East County to equalize districts. Supervisor Gerber requested that in Scenarios 1 A and 6A,the Saranap area be kept intact,and included in either District 2 or District 3. Additionally,she suggested eliminating Scenarios 1 and 6. The Chair then suggested that the Board act on the various proposals individually.She stated there was a motion to remove Scenarios 1 and 6.Supervisor Glover seconded the motion. 1 Dennis Barry inquired if the motion was to eliminate Scenarios 1 and 6,to modify IA and 6A, and keep Saranap area in one Supervisorial District? Supervisor Gerber agreed that was her motion.Supervisor Glover also agreed. The vote on that motion was as follows: AYES: SUPERVISORS GIOIA,GERBER,DeSAULNIER,GLOVER and UILKEMA NOES: NONE ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE Supervisor Uilkema advised the Board that in future recommendations,she would include a request to increase staff since the workloads would increase. Following further discussion,Supervisor Uilkema suggested that staff"finagle"boundaries in Scenario 4B to proportionately balance the districts in terms of population,and review the implications. Mr.Barry informed the Board that staff could try to gain closer equality,however,it probably could not be done and still maintain whole cities.He stated it was his understanding that staff had a request from Supervisor DeSaulnier for an additional alternative,a request for research, and a request to"finagle"alternative 4B,he inquired if staff could have a motion on those requests and a vote for direction. The Board continued their discussions.They determined that Supervisor DeSaulnier would restate his previous suggestion. Supervisor DeSaulnier recommended that an additional scenario be presented that included Districts 5,4 and 3 all reach into far East County.For example, District 4 going to Brentwood,and District 3 having Discovery Bay and Byron. Mr.Barry inquired if that included a request for additional research on similar counties that have Supervisorial cities split. Supervisor DeSaulnier stated that it did. Supervisor Glover seconded the motion.The vote was as follows: AYES: SUPERVISORS GIOIA,DeSAULNIER,GLOVER and UILKEMA NOES: SUPERVISOR GERBER ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE Supervisor Uilkema moved that staff examine Scenario 413,to see if more equal numbers could be achieved among the districts. Supervisor Gerber stated she would not support the motion because she did not believe it made sense on the criteria and it was impractical.The Board continued their discussions. Supervisor Gioia seconded the motion,and noted that it was not an indication that this would be the version he would support,but it was a courtesy to Supervisor Uilkema who wanted to adjust population boundaries on one of her proposals. Chair Uilkema called for the vote and it was as follows: AYES: SUPERVISORS GIOIA,DeSAULNIER,GLOVER and UILKEMA NOES: SUPERVISOR GERBER ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE Supervisor Uilkema then stated the hearing on this matter would be continued to June 19,2001, at 1:30 p.m. The Board expressed their agreement. 2 J - ` ' REQUEST TO SPEAR FORM (THREE (3) MINIITE LIMIT) �`�Complete this form and place it in the box near the speakers' `' rostrum before addressing the Board.

Jr) 3171 Hambletonian Lane, Walnut Creek 94598 RE: Do Not Divide the Walnut Creek Community Walnut Creek should NOT be divided into separate Supervisor Districts. Walnut Creek is a single community with many common needs. Walnut Creek citizens have learned to work together as a community. There are many different, well-established community networks that facilitate constructive discussion of issues and problem solving. Disrupting established channels for constructive problem-solving would be a disservice to both the community and the county.

(The Chair may limit length of presentations so all persons may be heard) . Redistricting Issues: My name is Vicki Nuetzel - I am a resident in Walnut Creek and maintain a law practice in the City of Walnut Creek I have asked to speak because 1 am concerned about the proposed redistricting plans for Contra cost County and more specifically concerned about those plans that involve districts that split cities or established communities. In considering redistricting proposals, this board is directed to consider among other things the community of interest. In electing our board of supervisors we—as voters— look to elect a representative that will serve the interests of our local community in its relationship to the county as a whole. As Contra Costa County continues to grow and develop, each individual city and its surrounding area will develop new or different coricerns and represents a distinct community. Each city has a unique perspective and has its own unique problems—the individuals residing in those cities want a representative that knows and understands that unique community and can respond to its needs. It is for that reason that I am opposed to any redistricting proposal that divides any city—not just Walnut Creek— As I.understand it 5 of the proposed redistricting plans involve the division of Walnut Creek=and several involve splits or other cities as-well To divide the cities—in effect giving— for example —Walnut Creek two or three representatives - would result in confusion among the citizens of the city and dilute the city's ability to respond to county issues -- it also creates duplicate responsibilities for the supervisors themselves and creates potential conflicts within the board—the needs of the city should be addressed by one voice and it cannot if there are as many as three board members that represent some portion of the city—moreover—the supervisor that represents for example both a portion of Walnut Creek and a portion of another city may be placed in a position where he or she cannot adequately represent either—the supervisor is elected and obligated to represent that the need of those that have elected him —the proposed redistricting combines areas that do not have a community of interest and therefore the supervisor cannot truly represent that group— someone is left without a voice. — Seen from another perspective-arguably a board that has three members each of which provide some representation of Walnut Creek gives that community undue weight or influence— if I am a resident of another city or community with interests adverse to those interests of the city of Walnut Creek I'd question the ability of the board to consider my needs adequately when three board members are in part elected by the City of Walnut Creek— Either there is dilution or undue influence—but what there is not is direct and appropriate representation by a member of the board of supervisors of a unique and distinctive community.

James D. Davis Martinez, CA 94553 v Arne Simonsen Dear Supervisor Uilkema: I have attached a resolution adopted by the City of Antioch at the City Council meeting of May 8, 2001, urging the Board of Supervisors not to split the cities east of Bay Point into separate districts. Currently, the five supervisorial district boundaries comprising Contra Costa County are being reconfigured to establish a more balanced representation of the total population of the county. State lav requires each district have as close to equal distribution of the population as possible. The recent U.S. Census report indicates the growth in population in the East Contra Costa County area has placed a disproportionate number of residents in District 5. Among the options being considered is one that would remove the City of Brentwood and possibly other areas in the easternmost part of the county from District 5. Doing so would adversely impact the coordinated efforts among the cities of Fast County and our Board Supervisors to address the transportation. land use and economic development needs of our area. Considerable time and expense has gone into this work over the past four years. Having the entire area represented by the same Supervisor has been helpful in creating a regional effort that is referred to as the Delta 5. A commonality of purpose, resources, land use potential.. transportation needs and political will to move forward as a sub-region of %Contra -Costa C-ounty are, arid will continue to be, Essential to the resident of all our cities and the surrounding unincorporated communities. After consideration, I urge you not to split the cities east of Bay Point into separate districts. nncerely, DO LD P. FREIT ayor DFP:ds P.O.

In our 1988 study of redistricting, Leagues around the state concluded that specific time lines and public hearings were essential to a good redistricting process—we would certainly add Web access if we were doing the study now! The League study is also the basis for our support of standards for redistricting, which include: 1. substantially equal population 2. geographic contiguity 3. protection from diluting the voting strength of a racial or linguistic minority Many of the options the Board is considering meet these qualifications, but not all. The League standards oppose: 1. the goal of protecting incumbents, and 2. preferential treatment of one political party(which is not an issue in supervisorial districts) The League position supports standards that, to the extent possible, also include: 1. respect for boundaries of cities and counties; 2. preservation and protection of"communities of interest" It is sometimes difficult to separate protection of incumbents from protection of "communities of interest,"when such communities provide a political base for an incumbent. Although it may not be a primary goal, all of the County's proposed plans do protect incumbents. This makes it difficult to determine whether a plan,which shifted a district away from an incumbent, might better meet the League's other criteria, including respect for city boundaries. The Board and the public might still choose.one of the current proposals over such an alternative, but at least they would have had the choice.

Your process has made it clear that your criteria are similar to the League's, with the exception of the issue of incumbent protection, and no proposal satisfies all those criteria. We are also satisfied that, whatever your decision, it will have been made with adequate information and significant public input, which are characteristics of good government. Once again, the League congratulates the Board on opening the redistricting process to the public.

Uilkema, Members of the County Board of Supervisors County Administration Building 451 Pine Street Martinez, CA 94553 RE: Supervisoral Redistricting Dear Chairperson Uilkema and Members of the County Board of Supervisors: On behalf of the Contra Costa Center Association Board of Directors, we strongly urge the Board of Supervisors to approve a redistricting scenario which respects the longstanding ties of the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area(the"Centre Area") to the City of Walnut Creek. Specifically, we believe there are important past and present policy justifications making it critical that the Board adopt a redistricting approach that substantially tracks with Scenario 1, 1A, 6 or 6A as it relates to the Centre. In each of these scenarios, the supervisorial representative for the City of Walnut Creek would also represent the County's successful "smart growth" redevelopment of the Centre Area. We applaud the Board for its May 1 Statement of Principle that all cities in the County should be kept intact to the fullest extent possible. Instead of politicizing the redistricting process, this Board action was a common sense recognition that representative County government should reflect cohesive neighborhoods and communities of interest. The California Legislature, in its passage of the California Elections Code supported this "good government approach"to setting boundaries of supervisorial districts. As you know, until 1995 the Centre Area was split between Supervisorial District 3, which includes the City of Walnut Creek and Supervisoral District 4, which includes the City of Pleasant Hill. This split could be justified for so long as the LAFCO sphere of interest(SOI) boundaries were split between these 2 cities. However, LAFCO determined in 1995 that the entire Centre Area SOI should be changed to Walnut Creek and that no portion of the Centre Area should remain in Pleasant Hill's SOI. Now that the Board is considering reapportioned supervisorial districts, it would be consistent with the Board's May 1 Statement of Principle to also respect the Walnut Creek SOI. As a Letter to Chairperson Uilkema and Members of the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors May 31, 2001 Page 2 result of this SOI change in 1995, the Centre Association believes it would be indefensible to sever the Supervisorial District of Walnut Creek from its SOI with the Centre Area. Chairperson Uilkema will recall that when she voted in favor of changing the SOI of the Centre Area to Walnut Creek that she joined other LAFCO Commissioners in finding that the Centre Area has a strong community of interest with Walnut Creek. The Statement of Determinations made by Chairperson Uilkema and the other LAFCO Commissioners stated: "The social and economic interdependence and interaction between the two cities is perceived differently based upon interest. Basically,the residents and property owners affected by the SOI amendment in the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area feel a community of interest with Walnut Creek. They have Walnut Creek addresses, do business in Walnut Creek,and they have registered their intention to annex to Walnut Creek, not Pleasant Hill. They perceive a much greater interaction with Walnut Creek." . The business community joins with the residents of the Centre Area in requesting that the Board of Supervisors recognize that a supervisor will be better able to represent our common goals if that supervisor represents both the entire City of Walnut Creek and the Centre Area. Splintering our interests politically could undermine the progress to date and future vision of this model redevelopment project. Thank you for considering this request of the Board of Directors of the Contra Costa Centre Association. Best regards, 004 Patrick J.

WHEREAS the Fox Creek condominium complex, which consists of fifty-nine individual homes, is located in an unincorporated area of Contra Costa County that is within the Sphere of Influence("SOI") of the City of Walnut Creek; WHEREAS the Fox Creek Residential Association, acting by its Board of Directors, is responsible for managing the Fox Creek condominium complex and protecting and promoting the common interests of all Fox Creek homeowners; WHEREAS Contra Costa County is now in the process of redrawing Supervisorial District lines; WHEREAS the California Elections Code specifies that the Board of Supervisors, when establishing the boundaries of supervisorial districts, may give consideration to: . • topography • geography • cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, and compactness of territory • community of interest; WHEREAS County staff has mapped eleven alternative redistricting scenarios for public discussion,and near the center of each map is a small white area labeled "PH BART"; WHEREAS the Fox Creek condominium complex is located near the middle of the "PH BART"area; WHEREAS that"PH BART"area constitutes all of the unincorporated land between the City of Walnut Creek and the City of Pleasant Hill, and all of that land (excepting one senior apartment complex immediately adjacent to Pleasant Hill) is within the Sphere of Influence of the City of Walnut Creek; WHEREAS there is a firmly-established and strongly-felt "community of interest" between residents of the "PH BART" area and Walnut Creek; (For most of that area, the community of interest has been officially recognized by the Local Agency Formation Commission("LAFCO") since SOI lines were first drawn decades ago. For the rest of the area—which includes the Fox Creek complex,other condominiums,apartments and single family homes, plus most of the commercial properties around the BART station— the "community of interest" was officially addressed by LAFCO in 1995. At that time, a determined combination of homeowner and community associations, together with the area's i commercial property owners, represented by the Contra Costa Centre Association, petitioned LAFCO to move their area into Walnut Creek's SOI. After extensive hearings, LAFCO found a strong and universal "community of interest" with Walnut Creek. In view of that and other factors, LAFCO ordered the SOI change.) WHEREAS the "PH BART" area is part of a cohesive and integral territory, specifically, that neighborhood long-known as the Walden District, and the Walden District itself is part of a cohesive and integral territory which is commonly referred to as incorporated and unincorporated Walnut Creek; (The "PH BART" area constitutes approximately two-thirds of the historic Walden District of Walnut Creek. The remaining one-third of the Walden District is within the city boundaries of Walnut Creek. For more than one-half century,the interests of the Walden neighborhood have been served by the Walden District Improvement Association. The Walden Association's volunteer directors and officers have continuously worked closely with officials from the City of Walnut Creek (as well as those of the County). There have been no such relationships with other adjacent cities.) WHEREAS consideration of the geography of the"PH BART"area shows that it is virtually surrounded on the east, south and west by the City of Walnut Creek; WHEREAS, in connection with the current redistricting process, the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County has adopted the principle that all cities should be kept intact to the fullest extent possible; WHEREAS dividing cities, SOI territories and established communities between two or more Supervisorial Districts produces confusion, diminishes citizen and city influence, invites political divisiveness and delay, and dilutes operational inefficiency; WHEREAS there are scenarios that work very well for all the people of Contra Costa County without dividing cities or established communities; NOW, THEREFORE,the FOX CREEK RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATION respectfully requests that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors keep the"PH BART" area, the essentially- similar Walnut Creek Sphere of Influence area, the long-established neighborhood know as the Walden District, and the entire City of Walnut Creek together within one Supervisorial District when the new District boundaries are adopted this year. CERTIFICATION I, the undersigned, do hereby certify that I am the duly elected and acting President of the FOX CREEK RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATION, a California Nonprofit Mutual Benefit Corporation, and that at the May 22, 2001, regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the FOX CREEK RESIDENTIAL ASSOCIATION, the foregoing resolution was duly adopted. Dated: June 1, 2001 Barbara r, President 2
