\u00a0These are concentrated population areas which share social and economic interests.\u00a0 COIs are key to building districts that can be defined by geographic or service boundaries.\u00a0 Constituents\u2019 voices and full participation in the process are encouraged.\u00a0 The Commissioners want to know:\u00a0 What are communities\u2019 shared interests, what boundaries are important to us, what communities do we want to be with?\u00a0 Constituents will be able to draw their community boundaries on a map with new user-friendly software being developed.\u00a0 Testimony can be emailed directly to the Commission.\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:Redistricting.lacity@lacity.org\">Redistricting.lacity@lacity.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Prichard emphasized she was not able to take public comment tonight.\u00a0 There will be other upcoming opportunities for comment: public hearings, Commission meetings, the interactive website under construction, and written comments.\u00a0\u00a0 There will be 15 public meetings from June through August 2021 \u2013 one public meeting for each of 15 Council Districts.\u00a0 Outreach will be conducted.\u00a0 There will be an expert \u201cline drawer\u201d to hear the testimony and use this to enter information in the data base for line drawing purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Questions and comments from the Board then ensued.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Chair<\/u>: Where is Ms. Prichard from?\u00a0 <u>Ms. Prichard<\/u>:\u00a0 She is a Mar Vista resident and is familiar with Pacific Palisades.\u00a0 She has lived in Los Angeles since 1977 and in CD 11 for over twenty years.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Chair<\/u>:\u00a0 He would like to relate his own personal comments on redistricting.\u00a0 The primary point he wants to leave her with is that Pacific Palisades has great ties of community interest with Brentwood.\u00a0 We share a charter school complex, we have common interests in our mountains, hillsides and flat areas, and we also share a Community Plan.\u00a0 The other thing important for Ms. Prichard to know: Pacific Palisades is a beach town.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Vice-Chair<\/u>:\u00a0 How far above or below the average number of residents are in CD 11? \u00a0Will the District have to increase or decrease to meet the standard?\u00a0 <u>Ms. Prichard<\/u>:\u00a0 That is a good question and she does not know the answer.\u00a0 The raw Census data will be submitted in August and the final product will come in September.\u00a0 The Commissioners will be delving into that data and will seek extra demographic advice.\u00a0 There may be an undercount due to the pandemic conditions last year.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Treasurer<\/u>:\u00a0 He has similar concerns about an overcount and undercount.\u00a0 What more has she learned about this and how might it affect the Westside?\u00a0 <u>Ms. Prichard<\/u>: \u00a0We haven\u2019t learned a lot.\u00a0 The lower income, African-American and Latino communities are under-represented.\u00a0 Due to the pandemic, there were other undercounts in wealthier communities, perhaps because people left town.<\/p>\n<p><u>The Chair<\/u>:\u00a0 Will the homeless count be taken into consideration?\u00a0 <u>Ms. Prichard<\/u>:\u00a0 She doesn\u2019t know the current state.\u00a0 The undercount methodology will seek to take into account the homeless, undocumented individuals and students.<\/p>\n<p>The Chair thanked Ms. Prichard for her presentation.<\/p>\n<p>12.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 Adjournment.<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0The meeting was adjourned at 7:39 pm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/minutes-from-2021\/\">Return to Index of 2021 Minutes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Return to Index of 2021 Minutes MINUTES FROM APRIL 22nd 2021 Voting Members in Attendance: \u00a0David Card, David Kaplan, Richard Cohen, Chris Spitz, Karen Ridgley, Sue Kohl, Haldis Toppel, Steve Cron, Joanna Spak, Jenny Li, Reza Akef, Alan Goldsmith, Beth Holden-Garland, Peter Powell, Craig Natvig, Eric Dugdale, Richard Blumenberg, Trish Bowe, Fay Vahdani, Brenda Theveny, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page-template.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9349","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9349\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
