1/14/2020 AGENDA PUBLIC HEARING On November 25, 2019, the COASTSIDE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT resolved by action of its Board of Directors to change its electoral system for members of the Board of Directors from an at-large system – one in which District voters elect all Directors – to a system based on five (5) zones, where District voters elect a Board member from their zone. The District now seeks public input as to the composition of the District and how to best draw these new zones.

On December 17, 2019 Coastside County Water District held its second public hearing to discuss the California Voting Rights Act, the process of conversion, and to receive public input on the District with regard to geography, population, and communities of interest to assist the District in drawing five (5) zones that are in compliance with the Federal and California Voting Rights Acts.

On January 14, 2020 Coastside County Water District held its third public hearing to discuss the California Voting Rights Act, and to present three draft maps of five (5) electoral zones for election of members of the Board of Directors, and to receive public input on the draft maps and order of elections.

Compare to the City of HMB CUSD (Cabrillo Unified School District) Electoral Maps.

May have to open a few windows to compare. Geeky fascination with local public agency electoral process. Keep in mind second chance for re-districting, next election cycle.  This is just a test. Sort of.  Feedback is good to any of these jurisdictions.
