Existing law requires the board of supervisors of each county, following each decennial federal census, and using that census as a basis, to adjust the boundaries of any or all of the supervisorial districts of the county so that the districts are as nearly equal in population as possible, and comply with applicable federal law, and specifies the procedures the board of supervisors must follow in adjusting those boundaries. This bill would establish the Independent Redistricting Commission in the County of San Diego. The bill would require the clerk of the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Diego to select, at random, the members of the commission from persons interested in, and qualified to serve on, the commission. The bill would require the county to provide reasonable staffing and logistical support to the commission. The bill would require the commission to hold at least 7 public hearings, and would require the commission to adjust the boundaries of the supervisorial boundaries of the county, as specified. The bill would require the commission to adopt a redistricting plan, as specified, and would provide that the plan become effective 30 days following submission to the clerk of the board. The bill would subject the plan to referendum. By increasing the duties on local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the unique circumstances facing the County of San Diego. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
