A Message from the City Clerk     Spanish Version

The public is encouraged to participate in the determination of City Council District boundaries in response to the 2020 Census. Public participation can include using the tools provided to draw a citywide redistricting map for consideration; using the tools to identify communities of interest that should be considered when selecting a map, or providing public comment on proposed maps at public hearings. 

The tools provided allow the public to submit input anonymously or provide the name of the author. However, the absence of author information might preclude the city council, staff, or redistricting support personnel from contacting the author to seek clarification or correct minor technical errors in a submission. Technical errors might include but are not limited to, incomplete maps or improper district numbering. This inability to correct problems may lead to the submitted input not being considered in the process.     

 Anyone submitting input to the redistricting process is encouraged, in addition to providing contact information using the drawing tools, to send an email documenting their submission and their contact information to cityclerk@placentia.org or call the Office of the City Clerk at 714-993-8231.

City of Placentia Redistricting Process

(Spanish Version)

Every ten years, local governments use new census data to redraw their district lines to reflect how local populations have changed. Assembly Bill 849 (2019) requires cities and counties to engage communities in the redistricting process by holding public hearings and/or workshops and doing public outreach, including to non-English-speaking communities.

What is redistricting?

Every ten years, districts must be redrawn so that each district is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each city council member represents about the same number of constituents. In Placentia, the City Council is responsible for drawing council districts. Redistricting is done using U.S. Census data, which is scheduled to be released around September 30, 2021. For the City of Placentia, the redistricting process must be completed by April 18, 2022.

Why does redistricting matter to me?

Redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together into a district for the purposes of electing a council member.

The City Council will seek input in selecting the next district map for our City Council. You have an opportunity to share with the City Council how you think district boundaries should be drawn to best represent your community.

You can contact the City Clerk at cityclerk@placentia.org to find out more about how the process works.

What do the existing council districts look like?

You can find a map of the City’s current council districts here.

What criteria will our City Council use when drawing district lines?

To the extent practicable, district lines will be adopted using the following criteria: (1) geographically contiguous districts (each city council district should share a common border with the next), (2) the geographic integrity of local neighborhoods or communities shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division, (3) geographic integrity of a city shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division, (4) easily identifiable boundaries that follow natural or artificial barriers (rivers, streets, highways, rail lines, etc.), and (5) lines shall be drawn to encourage geographic compactness. In addition, boundaries shall not be drawn for purposes of favoring or discriminating against a political party.

How will our City Council notify the public about redistricting?

The City Council will reach out to local media to publicize the redistricting process. Also, we will make a good faith effort to notify community groups of various kinds about the redistricting process. Our public hearings will be provided in applicable languages if residents submit a request in advance. The City Council will notify the public about redistricting hearings, post maps online before adoption, and post all relevant information about the redistricting process on this page.

How can I get involved?

The City Council will be holding hearings to receive public input on where district lines should be drawn. 


Ciudad de Placentia Proceso de Redistribución de Distritos

Cada diez años, los gobiernos locales utilizan nuevos datos del censo para volver a trazar las líneas de sus distritos para reflejar cómo han cambiado las poblaciones locales. El Proyecto de Ley 849 de la Asamblea (2019) exige que las ciudades y los condados hagan participar a las comunidades en el proceso de redistribución de distritos mediante la celebración de audiencias públicas y/o talleres y la realización de actividades de divulgación pública, incluso en las comunidades no anglófonas. 

¿Qué es la redistribución de distritos?

Cada diez años, los distritos deben ser rediseñados para que cada uno de ellos sea sustancialmente igual en población. Este proceso, llamado redistribución de distritos, es importante para asegurar que cada concejal de la ciudad represente aproximadamente el mismo número de conciudadanos. En Placentia, el Ayuntamiento es responsable de diseñar los distritos del consejo. La redistribución de distritos se hace usando los datos del Censo de los EE.UU., que es publicado alrededor del 31 de marzo de 2021. Para la Ciudad de Placentia, el proceso de redistribución de distritos debe completarse antes de 18 de abril del año 2022.

¿Por qué me importa la redistribución de distritos?

La redistribución de distritos determina qué vecindarios y comunidades son agrupados en un distrito con el fin de elegir a un concejal.

El Ayuntamiento buscará aportes para determinar el próximo mapa del distrito para nuestro Ayuntamiento. Tu tienes la oportunidad de compartir con el Ayuntamiento cómo crees que los límites del distrito deben ser diseñados para representar mejor a tu comunidad. Puedes contactar con el Secretario de la Ciudad en CityClerk@placentia.org para saber más sobre cómo funciona el proceso.

¿Cómo se ven los distritos del consejo existentes?

Puedes encontrar un mapa actual de los distritos del Ayuntamiento aquí

¿Qué criterio usará nuestro Ayuntamiento al diseñar las líneas del distrito?

En la medida de lo posible, las líneas de distrito se adoptarán utilizando los siguientes criterios: (1) los distritos geográficamente contiguos (cada distrito del ayuntamiento debe compartir una frontera común con el siguiente), (2) se respetará la integridad geográfica de los vecindarios o comunidades locales de manera que se reduzca al mínimo su división, (3) se respetará la integridad geográfica de una ciudad de manera que se reduzca al mínimo su división, (4) se establecerán límites fácilmente identificables que sigan las barreras naturales o artificiales (ríos, calles, carreteras, líneas de ferrocarril, etc.), y (5) se trazarán líneas para fomentar la compactación geográfica. Además, no se establecerán límites con el fin de favorecer o discriminar hacia un partido político.

¿Cómo notificará nuestro Ayuntamiento al público sobre la redistribución de distritos?

El Ayuntamiento se pondrá en contacto con los medios de comunicación locales para dar a conocer el proceso de redistribución de distritos. Además, haremos un esfuerzo de buena fe para notificar a los diversos grupos de la comunidad sobre el proceso de redistribución de distritos. Nuestras hearings públicos se ofrecerán en los idiomas pertinentes si los residentes presentan una solicitud por adelantado. El Ayuntamiento notificará al público sobre la redistribución de distritos hearings, colocará los mapas en línea antes de su adopción.

¿Cómo puedo involucrarme?

El Consejo de la Ciudad celebrará hearings para recibir aportes públicos sobre dónde deben trazarse las líneas de los distritos. 

También puedes enviar comentarios públicos, incluyendo borradores de mapas sugeridos, por correo electrónico: CityClerk@placentia.org.
