(XIII. RESOLUTIONS #1 Continued)
Ms. Wanda Conlin, 1755 Martel Avenue, completed a speaker card in support of Resolution
No. 1 and of the current number of single- member City Council districts, and was recognized by
Mayor Price but was not present in the Council Chamber.
Council Member Jordan provided a brief history of the 8 -1 single member City Council district
plan. He indicated that coming up with a number of districts would be an arbitrary number but
that the difficulty would be in drawing the district lines to ensure that the City was protecting the
one (1) rule of the Voter's Rights Act. He stated that he believed the City had a sound Council
that worked well and that if it was not broke then why fix it. He advised that he would move to
approve the Resolution with an amendment and the reason he would make that amendment was
because he believed there were communities of interest and characteristics that must be
identified as the lines were drawn.
Council Member Hicks read a letter from Council Member Moss, who was unable to attend the
Council meeting, in support of the current 8 -1 single member City Council district plan.
Council Member Hicks advised that she supported the current 8 -1 single member City Council
district plan but also supported letting the citizens make the decision through a Charter
Amendment Election. She stated that one (1) important challenge to consider when redistricting
would be to keep from creating distinct urban districts versus suburban districts and pointed out
that District 8 consisted of both types of districts. She stated that it was the duty of the Council to
ensure that all parts of the City were successful.
Council Member Shingleton advised that he supported the current 8 -1 single member City
Council district plan and questioned how the proposed number of 10 districts was chosen. He
stated the 8 -1 system had and was currently working well. He stated that social media and
competent Council Aides had allowed Council Members to reach a much larger number of
residents than in the past. He stated that the residents of District 7 were adequately served.
Council Member Burns stated that philosophically moving to 10 -1 single member City Council
district made sense because there would be fewer residents in each district, allowing a Council
Member to provide better service. He stated that once he met with Mr. Florez he realized that
this would involve splitting District 9. He advised that the vast majority of residents were in
favor of continuing with the 8 -1 single member City Council district plan but added he had
received information from two (2) residents supporting the 10 -1 City Council districts. He also
pointed out that cost of a Charter Amendment Election should not be a determining factor on this
issue. He advised that he would support the current 8 -1 City Council districts and added that it
was imperative that the City have neighborhood involvement when redrawing the district
boundaries.

(XIII. RESOLUTIONS #1 Continued)
Council Member Scarth advised that moving to 10 -1 single member City Council districts could
make redistricting easier because the northern section of the City where the majority of the
growth occurred could be split leaving the rest of the districts untouched. He pointed out that the
current 8 -1 single member City Council district plan also made it more difficult to maintain
diversity. He pointed out that technology today allowed the Council Members, their aides and
City staff to respond to the citizens much more efficiently. He advised that he would support the
current 8 -1 single member City Council district plan.
Council Member Espino also read into the record a letter from Father Stephen Jasso, All Saints
Catholic Church, 214 NW 20th Street, stating his support for redistricting and community
outreach.
Council Member Espino stated he supported the 10 single member districts with one (1) at -large
Mayoral position. He also stated that encouraging voting from the Hispanic Community required
community outreach. He stated that the City had grown significantly since implementing the
eight (8) single member districts with one (1) at -large Mayoral position. He added that
redistricting implemented and encouraged diversity and equality including geographic location.
He pointed out that there had been a citizen survey conducted on this issue and that 69 percent of
the citizens favored 10 single member districts. He advised that he could not discount this survey
and for that reason he would be voting against the Resolution for 8 -1 single member City
Council districts. He further pointed out that on an issue this important that it should be up to the
citizens to decide.
Council Member Zimmerman advised that the real issue at hand was how to draw the boundary
lines, not the number of Council districts in the City. He stated that he agreed that cost should not
be a factor in this issue and also stated he agreed with Council Member Espino that there were
other items in the Charter that needed to be updated and changed. He advised that he would
support the current 8 -1 single member City Council district plan.
Mayor Price agreed that the most challenging issue was how to draw the district boundary lines
that would best serve the whole City. She stated that under the current system of 8 -1 the City
could ensure that the boundary lines were drawn to support a diverse, equitable and fair
representation.
Motion: Council Member Jordan made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro tem Zimmerman
that Resolution No. 4044 -11 -2011 be adopted with the following amendment: In
the fifth section, bullet points five (5) through eight (8), begin each bullet point with
the phrase "When appropriate ". The motion carried six (6) ayes to two (2) nays,
