Council Chooses to Establish Four Councilmember Districts and a Mayor Elected At-Large

At the first public hearing on district-based elections on December 7, 2021, the City Council voted to establish four councilmember districts and a mayor elected at-large (see Attachment 2). This approach is consistent with the City’s Charter.

The second public hearing in a series of five public hearings will take place during the Monterey City Council Meeting on December 21, 2021 at 7:00 p.m., with the goal of receiving public input regarding the composition of city councilmember districts before draft map(s) are drawn and presented to the public.
