City Council Holds Public Appearance on January 4th; Third Public Hearing Set for January 18th

Due to a clerical error with the posting of the Spanish-language Public Hearing Notice in the Monterey Herald, the 3rd Public Hearing on District-based Elections that was scheduled for January 4th was postponed to January 18th.

Since the meeting was scheduled and public feedback was anticipated, the City Council took the opportunity on January 4th to hold the meeting as a Public Appearance Item, reviewing the four (4) draft maps and learn more about the sequencing of elections.

City staff and Paul Mitchell from the City's demographer, Redistricting Partners, delivered an overview of the four (4) proposed maps. The sequencing of elections were also discussed. Public input was also received.

The next meeting will be the Third Public Hearing on January 18, 2021.
