Half Moon Bay City Council’s Final Redistricting Meeting to Adopt Map 503b to Last Next 10 Years

April 5th, 2022 @ 7:00pm - 9:00pm

At its meeting Tuesday evening, the City Council voted to introduce an ordinance adopting Map 503b.
The second reading of the ordinance will occur on April 5, 2022, ahead of the State’s deadline of April 17.
This map will be used for City Council elections in Half Moon Bay for the next 10 years, at which time the City will be required to redistrict again following the 2030 Census.
Staff will conduct targeted outreach within each of the districts during this summer to make sure both voters and prospective council candidates have a good understanding of the district lines in place for the upcoming November 2022 election.
Please visit our website at www.drawhmb.org to view previous staff reports and maps as well as other information on the process. Any questions can be directed to Jessica Blair, Communications Director / City Clerk, at jblair@hmbcity.com.
A huge thank you goes to the Redistricting Advisory Committee for its work during this process, and to the many community members for their involvement and productive input.

City Seeking Input on Two Redistricting Maps During Regular City Council Meeting

The City Council is considering two five-district maps – Map 504c and Map 503b – and has requested additional community input on these two maps. You can view them on our website and at www.drawhmb.org. Additionally, the City has prepared a set of FAQs, also available on our website, which contain answers to many questions we have heard throughout the redistricting process. We encourage you to read through them and share any feedback on the two maps you may have.

 

The City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. via Zoom (https://us06web.zoom.us/j/95535614263) to select one of these maps.

 

There will be an opportunity for public comment at that meeting. Additionally, or alternatively, you are welcome to provide written comments to be included in the agenda packet by emailing to jblair@hmbcity.com.

 

All comments received by Thursday, March 10 will be attached to the staff report for this item. Any received after that date will be forwarded to the City Council prior to the meeting.

Some voters in affected neighborhoods will soon receive a packet of information via mail explaining that their voting cycle may change if their district changes under either of the two maps under consideration. This does not apply to the vast majority of voters in the City.

 BACKGROUND

Click here to learn more about the Redistricting Advisory Committee and its upcoming meeting schedule.

Half Moon Bay must re-draw its district boundaries using the new 2020 Census data. This process is called redistricting. All cities with district-based election systems, such as Half Moon Bay, must redistrict after each Census. This keeps population counts within each district relatively equal to ensure equal representation. Half Moon Bay adopted district boundaries in 2018 using 2010 Census total population counts. We must now reevaluate using the new census data.

In 2018, the City of Half Moon Bay approved a transition from at-large to by-district elections, with the mayor to be elected at-large. The current map of City Council Districts and other documents from the transition can be viewed here.
