[00:00:01]
ON? YES, THERE WE GO.[Redistricting Map Meeting]
ALL RIGHT.UH, SO WE WORKED UP PLAN SEVEN, WHICH THE PREMISE OF THAT WAS TO TRY AND CREATE AN ADDITIONAL MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICT USING DISTRICT ONE AS THE BASIS, AS RECALL SOME OF THE EARLIER ONES THAT WE HAD WERE MOSTLY LOOKING AT DISTRICT EIGHT, UH, WORKING WITH THAT, BECAUSE THAT GENERAL PART OF THE PARISH HAS BEEN TRENDING A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARD A MINORITY AND MIXED RACE POPULATION.
SO THAT'S WHAT THE PLAN SEVEN THAT I SENT OUT TO YOU REPRESENTS ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOU SEE ON THE MAP IS DISTRICT ONE UNDER THIS CONFIGURATION IS IN BLUE DISTRICT TWO, AND ORDER TO MAKE UP FOR THE DIFFERENCE OF THE MINORITY POPULATION, UH, ADDING TO IT IN THE BAKER AREA HAD TO GO OUT TOWARD THE CENTRAL AREA AND START PICKING UP THAT POPULATION.
AND THEN A LITTLE BIT FURTHER SOUTH, UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS BETWEEN DISTRICTS FIVE AND SEVEN SWAPPING A PRECINCT OR SO OFF AND, UH, TRYING TO USE SOME GOOD CLEAN BOUNDARIES, BUT ESSENTIALLY THAT'S THE, UH, SWAPPING OFF BETWEEN ONE AND TWO.
I'D HAD THE EFFECT OF ALLOWING THE MINORITY, UH, RATIO AND DISTRICT TWO DOWN TO 74% OR ALMOST 74%, UH, INCREASED IN, IN ONE TO 54%.
SO THAT PUTS, THESE ARE THE TOTAL POPULATION, UH, RATIOS, NOT THE, UH, THE, UH, 18 PLUS OR VOTING AGE POPULATION.
GENERALLY FOR THIS, WE'RE LOOKING AT TOTAL POPULATION TO GET OURS, OUR NUMBERS IN BALANCE.
THE MIDDLE NUMBER IN THOSE BLACK BOXES IS THE DEVIATION.
AS YOU RECALL, WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP IT WITHIN A PLUS AND MINUS 5%.
SO ALL OF THIS FITS WITHIN THE DEVIATIONS AND THOSE ARE THE, UH, THE MAJORITY OF MINORITY NUMBERS IN THE, IN THOSE DISTRICTS.
UH, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT MAKING SOME, SEE WHAT SOME MODIFICATIONS, SO THIS WILL BE, WE CAN CERTAINLY TRY TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS IN MY MEMO, EXPRESS SOME OF MY CONCERNS WITH IT, BUT AGAIN, I, MORE THAN HAPPY TO DEFER TO THE, UH, TO ANDY WHO'S YOUR ATTORNEY FOR THE COUNCIL AND LET HIM GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE ON IT.
THE MAY IT FROM A TECHNICAL STANDPOINT IS WITHIN PLUS AND MINUS 5%.
AND IT'S REALLY, LIKE WE SAID, FROM THE BEGINNING.
SO WHATEVER CONFIGURATION THE COUNCIL DECIDES IT WANTS TO GO, BUT AS WE MOVE TOWARD CERTAIN CONFIGURATIONS, I TOLD YOU BACK THEN THAT IF, IF I SEE SOME CONCERNS, I'M GOING TO EXPRESS THOSE TO YOU AND YOU CHOOSE TO LISTEN OR IGNORE THEM.
I TAKE NO OFFENSE ON THAT AT ALL.
SO HAVING SAID THAT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, UH, CHANGING THINGS AROUND.
AND MY GONG JUST NOTE COURTNEY HUMPHREY FROM THE PARISH ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS HERE.
UM, IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT MIKE, JUST, UM, ABOUT THE, UH, USING RACE AS A PREDOMINANT FACTOR.
AND ANYTIME Y'ALL WANT HER TO COME UP AND SPEAK, LET ME KNOW THIS POLAR UP HERE, AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS REAL INFORMAL, BUT THOSE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH THESE BEFORE, THESE ARE VERY INFORMAL AND FEEL FREE TO GET UP AND TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE MAP ON THE SIDE SCREENS.
THAT'S, WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT USING THIS ROOM.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO KIND OF FOLLOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, UH, WITH REGARDS TO THE MAP.
CAUSE IT'S, IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO READ ALL THE DETAIL WHEN YOU TRY TO LOOK AT IT AS A SCREEN WAY UP THERE IT'S EVEN WORSE.
SO, ALL RIGHT, MR. HAFFNER, WHEN I LOOK AT THE MATH ATTITUDES SOFTWARE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO USE, UM, IF I RECALL THERE WAS A PLAN FOR WHICH WAS CREATED SUBSEQUENT TO OBVIOUSLY PLAN THREE, A AND B.
UM, AND THE REASON FOR WILL SENT WAS BASED ON, UH, NOT SPLITTING PRECINCTS, IS THAT ACCURATE FROM PLAN FOR GOING FORWARD? WE'RE TRYING TO USE WHOLE PRECINCTS.
SO CAN WE LOAD PLAN FOUR ONTO THAT? MAPTITUDE CAUSE IT'S NOT ONE THAT WE'RE THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US.
I CAN ACTUALLY TRACE IT WAS OUT ON VACATION.
OTHERWISE I WOULD, I WOULD HAVE HAD SOME, SHE WOULD HAVE LOADED THAT UP ON THAT END ON CALIPER SIDE.
THEY HAVE TO LOAD IT UP ON CALIPER SIDE.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE MAPTITUDE FOR, UH, ONLINE.
I'LL BE, UH, WHEN SHE GETS BACK AT THE END OF THIS WEEK, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT ON THERE FOR THAT TIME.
CAN YOU, CAN YOU PULL UP PLAN FOR YES, I CAN.
AS YOU KNOW, WE CAN PULL UP ANY OF THESE, THESE PLANS AS YOU, AS YOU WISH.
THESE ARE SHOWING THE PRECINCTS FOR PLAN FOR, I JUST WANT TO LOOK CAUSE I'VE GOTTEN MAPTITUDE PULLED UP AND I JUST WANTED TO SEE THE DIFFERENCES IN DISTRICT ONE AND TWO FROM THREE B TO FOUR, JUST CAUSE FOUR IS NOT
[00:05:01]
ATTAINABLE.UH, UH, TWO'S IN THE GOLD COLOR AND IT WAS IN THE BLUE.
WHEN DID YOU SAY IS NOT OBTAINABLE ON THE MAP ATTITUDE? UH, PLAYING FOR IS NOT ISN'T VIEWABLE ON THAT ATTITUDE.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID OBTAINABLE AS FAR AS SELECTION.
I CAN'T USE THAT AS A BASIS TO START MANIPULATING ON MAPTITUDE.
UM, JUST CAUSE I THINK Y'ALL PROBABLY GET GAVE AVAILABILITY TO THIS BEFORE IT WAS DONE.
AND SO IT JUST HADN'T BEEN UPDATED, WHETHER IT, SO PLANS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN WILL BE UPLOADED AROUND THE END OF THE WEEK OR OVER THE WEEKEND.
SO IF YOU GO TO MAPTITUDE ONLINE FOR REDISTRICTING, YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THAT AND JUMP ON ANY OF THOSE AND START MAKING YOUR OWN CONFIGURATION USING ANY OF THOSE AS A BASE POINT.
PLUS, WE GOT AN UPLOAD PLAN PUBLISHER.
I BELIEVE I WAS SUBSCRIBED TO THAT AS WELL.
THAT GIVES YOU THE VIEWABLE, BUT IT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO MANIPULATE.
I JUST WANT TO SEE ANYTHING ON PLAN FOR I'M TALKING HERE.
DISTRICT 11 IS IN GREEN AND I CAN PUT THE ROADS ON IF YOU NEED IT
WE MAKE WHAT CHANGES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE TO MAKE THE DEVIATIONS BALANCE.
FIVE TOOK A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A DIFFERENT APPROACH IN TRYING TO LOOK AT PORTION OUT TO THE BLACK POPULATION, TO THE TOTAL PARISH POPULATION AND MADE ADJUSTMENTS IN DISTRICT EIGHT USING THAT.
UM, SO THAT'S HOW THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN KIND OF MOVING ALONG A LITTLE BIT AND I CAN DO PROBABLY IN MY NEXT MEMO, PROBABLY WON'T HURT TO DO A RECAP AS TO WHAT THE MAJOR TENANTS ARE FOR EACH OF THEM FOR POSSESS FIVE.
ANYBODY ELSE GO TO DISTRICT NINE? UM, PLANNED FOR, YEAH.
IF YOU ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PRECINCT NUMBER IS LIKE.
THE STREET IS WITHIN TRAIL IN RELATION TO WHERE YOU LIVE.
IT'S NEXT TO THE ONE NEXT TO THREE 15.
THERE'S A LINE TO IT RIGHT NOW.
THREE, THREE, MAYBE THREE, THREE.
CAN WE PUT THAT BACK RIGHT HERE TO DISTRICT NINE AND SEE HOW IT IMPACTS THINGS? YEAH.
I MEAN PUTTING THE TREATS ON THIS AREA HERE, WE PUT THAT IN NINE.
I KNOW YOU GOT, I LIVE IN THREE 15, SO YEAH.
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE I'D LOVE TO KEEP SHENANDOAH WHOLE.
WE'LL HAVE TO SWAP OFF CAUSE THAT, WELL, EIGHT CAN GIVE THAT UP.
THAT PUTS YOU AT 11.3% HIGH, BUT WHAT'S ADDED JUST TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE WHAT IT, SO YOU'LL NEED TO SWAP OFF SOMEWHERE.
IF WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS, PUT THAT IN EIGHT, UH, OR FOUR OR OKAY.
LET'S DO SINCE WE TOOK THAT OTHER ONE OUT, HEY, LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF WE SWAP ALL RIGHT, EIGHT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE HIGH.
IT'S GOING TO BE AN 8.39% DEVIATION.
YOUR DEVIATION COMES DOWN TO MINUS 1.59.
LET'S SEE IF WE HAPPENED TO PUT THAT INTO FOUR, WE PUT THAT IN FOR FOURS.
DEVIATION GOES TO PLUS 13, OR SHE, OR STAYS THE SAME AT A MINUS 1.59.
SO IT'S PROBABLY A LITTLE BETTER TO GET AN EIGHT OR FIND A DIFFERENT PRECINCT TO SWAP OVER OR FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO SWAP FOR FOUR OR OUR SWAP AT EIGHT, WHICH MAY LET'S TAKE A LOOK ON THE SOUTH END.
UH, THE ONE WE JUST ADDED RIGHT HERE.
SO THE ONLY OTHER ONE THAT EIGHT BORDERS WOULD BE DOWN ON HERE GOT ONE THERE.
AND WE GOT ONE THERE, WHICH WAS A LITTLE AWKWARD.
CAN YOU ZOOM IN ON THAT SO WE CAN TELL WHAT IT IS? THAT'S A 3.33 DASH THREE THREE ZOOM IN A LITTLE
[00:10:01]
MORE SO WE CAN READ THE STREETS.LET ME TAKE THE, I GUESS MY EYES ARE TOO BAD.
I'M GOING TO JUST ADD IT BECAUSE THAT BLUE GIVES YOU A LITTLE DIFFERENT CONTRAST.
THAT WOULD, THAT BALANCES OUT EIGHT, UH, PLUS 3.9.
AND PUTS YOU AT A 2.81 PLUS 2.81.
WELL, THIS WOULD BE KIMBALLTON WAX, MYRTLE COCA TREE POINT SHENIR UH, PROFIT AVENUE, COUNCIL AVENUE REMEMBERS PLACE.
THIS IS JEFFERSON RIGHT HERE AND THIS IS DR.
UM, YOU KNOW, BOTH OF THOSE AREAS REALLY IDENTIFY AS ONE IS ONE AREA I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THEM ALL TOGETHER.
UM, IS THERE A WAY WE CAN LOOK AT DOING SOME CHANGES IN FOUR TO, TO MAKE THAT SWAP WORK FOR, FOR, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
LET'S LET'S GO AHEAD AND ASSIGN IT TO FOUR AND SEE WHAT WE CAN WORK WITH.
SO NOW WE GOT IT IN FOR YOUR BALANCE.
FOUR IS NOT SO EIGHT CAN TAKE SOME FROM FOUR THAT WOULD PROBABLY HELP BRING IT DOWN, UH, OR ALSO BORDERS WITH FIVE, WHICH COULD USE SOME AND ALSO BORDERS WITH SIX, WHICH COULD USE SOME, SOME POPULATION BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE MINUS SIDE OF IT.
AND ALSO WITH DISTRICT ONE, IT ALSO BORDERS DISTRICT ONE INTO THIS CONFIGURATION IS A MINUS 4.8.
SO ANY OF THOSE AROUND THERE OR IN A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO TAKE SOME POPULATIONS.
SO LET'S JUST UNDERSTAND BY DOING THIS, YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THING THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP FROM DOING IN YOUR AREA ABOUT YOU TEARING APART SHERWOOD WITH FOREST.
I DIDN'T SAY TO YOU SHERWOOD FOREST.
ANYWAY, WE USE YOUR MIC BECAUSE WE'RE RECORDING JUST IN CASE ANYBODY NEEDS TO COME BACK AND SEE WHAT THEY MISSED.
UM, SOUTH MALL DRIVE THAT PRECINCT RIGHT THERE.
WOULD YOU WANT CAUSE 11, IS IT A NEGATIVE TWO RIGHT NOW? SO WOULD THAT HELP? THAT MAY ABSOLUTELY MAY HELP AND THAT IT WOULDN'T BE TERRIBLE.
WE WERE ALWAYS CONFUSED ABOUT WHICH PART OF SAGAN WE HAVE.
OH, AND I DO HAVE AN, OH YEAH.
SO YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IF I'M FOLLOWING THIS CORRECTLY, UH, TAKING THE PRECINCT THAT SOFT MALL IS THAT AREA AND PRECINCT THREE 18 SQUARE YOU OFF.
SHE HAD A PLUS SEVEN BALANCE IS NINE AT IT, PLUS TWO, BUT YOU'RE REAL CLOSE.
OH, IT GETS, IT GETS 11 WAY OVER THOUGH.
LOOKS RIGHT TO ME A LITTLE BIT.
WE MAY HAVE TO, MAY HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING SMALL TO SWAP OFF SOMEWHERE, UM, TO SEE WHAT COULD BE DONE.
MAYBE A PRECINCT THAT MIGHT NOT BE A REAL HEAVILY POPULATED.
I'M JUST GOING TO PICK ONE OUT HERE FOR A MOMENT JUST TO SEE WHAT SHE DOES.
THIS WOULD BE THIS AREA HERE THAT BALANCES OUT RIGHT THERE.
IF WE PUT THAT PRECINCT 3.54 IN A THREE, THREE DASH FIVE FOUR, AND UM, DISTRICT SEVEN, THAT BALANCE SHE'S YOU BACK OUT, THAT'S COMING UP OFF OF, UH, UNITED, UH, UH, BOULEVARD, UH, THAT HAS JAMESTOWN CIRCLE AREA.
AND IT, THIS IS I 10 BACK HERE.
SO IT PICKS UP THAT AREA BY THIS INTERCHANGE, UM, SM LANE, THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE SM LANE, UM, INTERCHANGES.
THEN THAT BALANCES YOU OUT IN SEVEN CAN HANDLE IT.
DOESN'T HURT SEVEN MINORITY NUMBERS.
IT'S JUST A GEOGRAPHIC ISSUE, WHETHER THAT IS APPROPRIATE TO PUT IN SEVEN.
[00:15:02]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE DOING.WE, UH, WERE LOOKING, WE WERE LOOKING AT SOME CHANGES WITH A PLAN FOR, WITH DISTRICT NINE, UM, ADDING, UH, A PRECINCT BACK INTO NINE OR PUTTING IT IN NINE THAT PUT NINE HIGH NINE HAS TO LOSE, GAVE A PRECINCT TO 11, WHICH PUT 11 A LITTLE HIGH.
AND THEN TO OFFSET THAT, ADDING A PRECINCT TO PRECINCT SEVEN, I MEAN DISTRICT SEVEN, WHICH IS 3.3 DASH FIVE ONE.
THAT'S THE ONE BY THE INTERCHANGE OF SN LANE AND I 10 AND 12.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT.
IN FACT, IF YOU WOULD GIVE ME ONE MOMENT, WHAT I WANT TO DO SINCE WE MAKING A LITTLE BIT OF PROGRESS ON HERE.
I WANT TO SAY THIS AS A THAT'S ANOTHER COPY THOUGH.
WOULD IT BE A MORE ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF THIS MAP AS, UH, AS, UH, SIX, UH, SIX, FIVE WITH A SWING DISTRICT? UH, IF WE DID THIS WITH FIVE OR SIX, IT PROBABLY WOULD BE WITH PLANTS HOT BECAUSE THIS ONE'S MORE OF A STATUS QUO PLAN.
THIS ONE PRETTY MUCH LEFT YOUR, YOUR, UH, YOUR RATIO.
YOUR MINORITY RATIO IS ABOUT THE SAME.
IT JUST MADE SOME CHANGES TO BALANCE YOUR DEVIATIONS OUT YOUR, YOUR OVERALL POPULATION.
IF WE DID SOME OF THIS WITH ONE OF THE, WITH THE OTHER PLAN, THAT ONE WOULD BE MORE OF THE PROPORTIONAL PLAN.
THAT LONG WOULD BE MORE REFLECTIVE OF THE FOUR BY FIVE MINUTES, FIVE, SIX, AND A ONE DOING TO HOW YOU WANT TO CLASSIFY.
LET ME CATCH THIS HERE REAL QUICK.
BEFORE I LOSE MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT HERE THIS.
SO I CAN GO BACK AND RE CREATE THIS.
IF WE DECIDE THAT WE WANT TO MOVE THIS, ADD THIS AS ONE OF OUR FORMAL CONSIDERATIONS, LET'S PULL UP REAL QUICK.
OUR, UM, OUR MEMO WITH FOUR AND FIVE, BECAUSE THAT KIND OF RECAPPED AT NIGHT PROBABLY WON'T HURT TO GET US ALL ON THE SAME PAGE WITH OR WHERE YOU ARE.
THESE ARE THE DEMOGRAPHICS BEFORE ONE FIVE.
PLAN FOUR WAS ORIGINAL MODIFIED PLAN ONE AND PLAN FIVE WAS IN MODIFIED ONE.
A, UM, THOSE WERE THE TWO THAT WE DID WAS PULL UP THE DEMOGRAPHICS.
WE JUST LOOKED AT WHAT WE WAS.
LET'S LOOK AT WHAT FIVE IS AND MY CLUES GOING TO BE ON DISTRICT EIGHT.
YOU'LL SEE, ON DISTRICT AIDS AT A 50.3% MINORITY THAT'S PLAN FIVE IS THE ONE THAT GETS YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE IN PROPORTION.
YEAH, BUT THAT, THAT WAS KIND OF OUT OF BALANCE OUT, BUT TRYING TO REACH A PROPORTIONALITY OF YOUR BLACK POPULATION TO THE TOTAL PARISH POPULATION.
SO THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION THAT WE HAD EARLIER AS TO WHAT FIVE WAS.
WHEN YOU MENTIONED STATUS QUOTAS, THERE'S CONTINUITY FROM A PREVIOUS PLAN, PLAY A ROLE AT ALL.
UH, ACTUALLY, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS, PARTICULARLY MORE RECENT ONES, LIKE FROM 2017, WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS WHEN YOU DREW THE MAP, DID YOU MOVE THE DISTRICT? THE CURRENT DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE REBALANCING THE DISTRICTS? UH, SO THEY'RE PAYING MORE AND MORE ATTENTION NOW TO HOW FAR OUT DID YOU GO TO MAKE THESE CHANGES? DID YOU DO MORE THAN NECESSARY OR JUST WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN YOUR, THE, UH, MINORITY REPRESENTATION THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAD IN YOUR AND YOUR DISTRICT? UH, THAT GOES IN THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT.
[00:20:01]
YOU'LL SEE THAT AS PRESERVATION, ACCORD DISTRICTS, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE NOW, YOUR 2010 IS YOUR COURT.SO CONTINUITY, PRESERVATION, ACCORD DISTRICTS, COMPACTNESS, OR ARE BOTH THINGS TO STRIVE.
TO MAINTAIN ONE MAN, ONE VOTE THOSE SIGNS.
THERE'S LIKE PICTURE SEVEN, DEPENDS ON HOW YOU WANT TO COUPLE UP.
AND THEY KIND OF BREAK UP A LITTLE BIT.
SOMETIMES IT'S SIX, SOMETIMES SEVEN DEPENDS HOW YOU CLASSIFY IT.
UH, IF YOU, IF YOU STRAYING FAR OUT ON THAT, THEN THEY TEND TO QUESTION WHY YOU DOING THAT? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION TO DO IT? IF YOU HAVE A LEGITIMATE REASON, THAT'S FINE.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LEGITIMATE REASON THAT MAY BE AN ISSUE.
AND THAT'S ONLY IF IT GETS CHALLENGED AND ENDS UP GOING YOU AND, AND BEING, UH, LITIGATED, IF YOU ADOPTED A PLAN AND NOBODY CHALLENGED, AND THEN IT WOULD BE GOOD IF HE GOES THROUGH, AS IT IS.
CAN, CAN WE MAKE ANOTHER CHANGE TO 11, JUST AN ON THIS WAS THIS FIVE OR FOUR? IS THIS FIVE? THIS IS FOUR ON FOUR.
UM, SO, UH, LET'S SAY THE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE LITTLE COOKIE THING OVER HERE, GREEN, LIKE, I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S BIGGER CRASS IF WE GAVE A, SORRY.
TAKE THAT AND PUT THAT BACK IN 11.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE, WE WANT TO TAKE THAT AND PUT IT IN EIGHT.
THEN IT BRINGS EIGHT TO PLUS SIX.
THAT'S THE NUMBER I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE.
IT BRINGS 11, 10 MINUS SEVEN, BUT YOU HAD AN IDEA.
LET'S JUST POP THAT IN THERE FOR THE MOMENT.
NOW SEE, I'M BLUE MUCH CLEANER LINE.
UH, AND THEN WHAT AREA DID YOU WANT TO GO BACK IN? TAKE, TAKE THAT AREA.
SO HAVING A COURSE GOES BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE AND NINE STILL.
SO WE JUST A SMIDGEN HIGH ON A, AND LET'S JUST, IF WE WANT TO SEE WHAT THAT MIGHT ENTAIL, LET ME JUST, LET ME JUST SEE WHAT IT DOES HERE.
LET'S SEE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
UH, SIX IS NOW TO PLUS EIGHT, EIGHT TO MINUS FIVE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVING RIGHT THERE.
SO YOU WANT TO BACK THAT OUT OR YOU WANT TO WORK WITH THAT? ALRIGHT, NOW THREE 11 WORK.
OH, WONDER, DON'T LOOK AT A DIFFERENT 1, 3 72.
WHERE DID YOU GO PUT THAT? IF WE PUT THAT? NOPE, THAT'S NOT, IT'S NOT CONTIGUOUS.
IT DIDN'T HAVE TO GO INTO FOR THAT WOULD PUT FOUR TOO HIGH AT A PLUS DAY BECAUSE HIS AID THAT IT DOESN'T FIX FOR A LOT OF DENTAL HERE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THAT FELL.
LET ME JUST DO IT A LIGHT GRAY.
DOES MIKE STAND OUT A LITTLE BIT BETTER ON THAT? BRING NOT REALLY.
NOW WE GOT A LITTLE MORE CONTRAST.
SO WITH THAT MOVE, UM, EIGHT'S A LITTLE HIGH NOW, LIKE I SAID, IF HE TOOK THREE 11 INTO A DISTRICT 11, THAT REBALANCES YOU, SO YOU BASICALLY SWAPPING OFF THIS PRECINCT FOR THIS BRIDGE THING.
SHOULD WE TRY IT? LET'S TRY THAT.
YOU CAN AT LEAST SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE GEOGRAPHICALLY.
THE NOW YOU'RE BACK IN BALANCE AND YOU DEVIATION YOUR MIDDLE NUMBERS.
YOU NEED TO ZOOM IN AND SEE WHAT STREETS ON THAT.
[00:25:03]
ALRIGHT.AND IF YOU NEED THE STREET LABELS LARGER, LET ME KNOW.
THIS IS SHERWOOD FOREST BOULEVARD, MRS. CORSI AND AIRLINE.
I THINK, I THINK THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S GOOD.
IS THAT GOOD WITH YOU? I'M ON EIGHT.
SO WE'RE, WE'VE MODIFIED PLAN FOR SOME, UH, SO NINE HAD SOME CHANGES THAT YOU'RE OKAY WITH NOW.
11 MADE CHANGES THAT YOU'RE OKAY WITH NOW THAT INVOLVED EIGHT THAT YOU'RE OKAY WITH NOW, IS THAT CORRECT? OH, WHAT'S UP? WHAT'D YOU GOT, OH, YOU NEED ME TO TELL YOU? WELL, I ALWAYS, I LOOK AT YOUR MIDDLE NUMBER.
SOMETIMES THERE'S TOO MUCH INFORMATION ON THERE.
SO I KNOW WE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME ON THIS PLAN, BUT AGAIN, I'M A REAL FORCE.
UH, AND IT MAY NOT BE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
IT MAY BE A QUESTION FOR LEGAL, UH, WITH BLACKS BEING A MAJORITY IN THE PARISH.
THIS MAP MAKES BLACKS THE MINORITY FAR AS REPRESENTATION.
SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S A LEGALLY STAND UP IN COURT.
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A LEGAL OPINION ON IT, BUT, UH, IT'S CERTAINLY ONE OF THE OPTIONS Y'ALL CAN LOOK AT BY A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT APPROACH.
SEVEN OF COURSE HAS A MUCH DIFFERENT APPROACH, BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE EXPLORATION MODE.
AND SO I KIND OF, I SEE THESE AS BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS AND SOMETIMES IT'S A BRAINSTORMING SESSION.
YOU HIT A COMBINATION THAT WORKS GOOD.
IS THAT THREE DASH FIVE? YEAH.
SHE BOUGHT IT RIGHT HERE, LIKE FRIED.
IT'S GOING TO ADD TO ME AND I'LL HAVE YOU HAVE TO SPIN OFF SOME LET'S LET'S GO AHEAD AND PUT IT IN YOUR DISTRICT.
AND THAT WAY WE CAN SPIT WHERE WE GOT TO WORK AROUND.
THAT WILL PUT YOU AT A PLUS 21 AND A MINUS 16 FOR 12.
BUT YOU'RE IN THE PURPLE 12 WAS IN THE YELLOW THREE DASH FOUR.
LET ME POP THE STREETS OFF HERE REAL QUICK SO WE CAN SEE THE PRECINCT BETTER.
THREE DASH 64, BUT A LITTLE BIT.
YOU'RE STILL, UH, AT, UH, IN DISTRICT 12 AT A MINUS 12.
AND YOU'RE STILL AT A PLUS 16 AND DISTRICT THREE, BUT WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ADD THAT.
YOU WERE AT A MINUS 6.93 INSTEAD OF PLUS 11 BRI BEAR WITH 360 4.
360 4 BRINGS 12 TO MINUS FOUR AND A PLUS EIGHT FOR THREE.
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE CLOSE ENOUGH.
WE'RE AT A 0.9 MINUS 0.94 FOR 12 AND A 5.2 FOR THREE.
THAT'S DEFINITELY FOR LOCAL STUFF.
THAT'D BE GOTTA BE BELOW FIVE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT BULLET ACTUALLY.
AND IF WE CAN KEEP YOURS BELOW FIVE, IT'S BETTER BECAUSE OF RATE OF GROWTH THAT A I'M SORRY FOR DISTRICT THREE.
UH, WE WANT TO TRY TO, WE CAN GET IT DOWN BELOW FIVE AND BELOW AUDI, 360 4 AND THREE DASH THREE DASH FOUR.
WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT THAT DOES,
[00:30:01]
BUT THAT BACK IN THREE.AND WHAT OTHER ONE? THREE DASH FOUR.
BUT THAT IN YEARS IS THAT WHERE YOU GET YOUR CLOTHES? THAT'S WHAT YOUR NUMBERS LOOK LIKE? I CAN'T BRING ON YOUR, NOPE.
WHERE'S THE THREE ON YOUR NUMBERS RIGHT HERE.
OH, I'D HAVE TO PUT THREE RIGHT HERE.
ON THAT LITTLE, UH, BRING HOME THAT LITTLE WINDOW AND ALSO HAVE THE MAIN CHART UP HERE IS HIDING BEHIND THE MAP.
SO SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER JUST TO READ THAT ONE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO MESS WITH 10 WHILE YOU'RE GONE.
I WAS GIVEN MY INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE FIRST MEETING.
WE STARTED WITH SEVEN AND THEN WE'VE JUMPED TO LOOKING AT MODIFICATIONS BEFORE, BUT HOPE TO GET TO SEVEN HERE IN A MINUTE OR FIVE, EITHER ONE OF THOSE TWO RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR SOME OF THESE CHANGES COULD PROBABLY BE REPLICATED IN FIVE OR YOGA IF IT DOES BAG
I THINK WE JUST UNDO IT EITHER WAY.
OR DO YOU WANT TO DO UNDO EVERYTHING? I'M GOOD WITH IT.
EITHER WAY, FIVE 11, WE GET TO BE, WE GET TO BE BOB OR BELOW EVERY EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN ARGUED, EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN CHALLENGED.
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN, WHATEVER I I'VE DONE WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING INTO $5 LEFT TAIL BACK.
THAT'S WHAT WE CALL SAFE HARBOR.
HUH? THAT'S WHAT WE CALL SAFE HARBOR.
YOU'RE REALLY ON SOLID GROUND AT THIS SPOT, BUT SOLID BROWN WITH GRAVEN UNDERNEATH AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS EVERYTHING.
I MEAN, I GAVE SOME OF MINE UP TO LITERALLY GET MATCHED UP.
SO WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS TAKE DISTRICTS FOUR AND GO TO THIRD STREET DOWNTOWN, YOU KNOW, LIKE VISUALLY Y'ALL GO SATISFY ME ON THAT REQUEST.
THEY GET IN, KEEP IT IN, TAKE IT OUT, TAKE IT OUT.
I GIVE HER BACK A THREE DASH 8, 3 6, 8.
THAT PUTS YOU AT A 5.2 AND A 0.9, FOUR FOR 12.
[00:35:04]
IF YOU WANT TO TRY TO KEEP IT AT 5.0 OR BELOW.
WHAT IF WE TOOK AWAY THREE DASH FOUR, THREE DASH 6, 8 3 DASH SIX.
YOU JUST TAKE HER DISTRICT AND GIVE ME THREE DASH THREE, FIVE.
SO YOU WANT TO PUT THOSE BACK IN 3, 1, 2, THESE RIGHT THERE, RIGHT? THOSE THREE.
AND WHICH ONE DID YOU WANT TO ADD? THREE DASH THREE DASH THREE FIVE RIGHT HERE OUT OF 11.
NOW THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP THE THREE AND REESE HIGH.
THIS IS PROBABLY, THIS IS PROBABLY A NO-GO.
I COULD EAT A BANJO RIGHT NOW.
A LITTLE AWKWARD LOOKING THOUGH.
I'LL BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU.
IT IS A LITTLE AWKWARD LOOKING.
IT LOOKS LIKE DISTRICT 12 HAS A FOLLOW UP.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR CORE DISTRICTS.
IT DOES MAKE SOME, SOME CHANGES TO IT.
HEY, YOU DON'T KNOW, UNLESS YOU EXPLORE IT.
I STILL GOT TO GET WEIGHT OFF YOU.
DO YOU, DO YOU HAVE WAY TOO MUCH? UM, ALL THE WAY BACK.
THAT'S WHERE WE STARTED BACK BY HIM FOR HIS ORIGINALLY WAS IN THAT AREA.
ANY OTHER CHANGES? Y'ALL LOOK AT DAWN FOR NOT, WE CAN LOOK AT FIVE.
WE MAKE ANY CHANGES OR WE DID.
YEAH, WE GOT SHIN AND THEN DO AND PARTY.
I CAN GIVE YOU THE CLIFF NOTES.
FIVE, ACTUALLY MAKE SOME CHANGES TO DISTRICT EIGHT, TO BRING IT UP TO A 50, BASICALLY A 50, 50 DISTRICT, 50%, UH, MINORITY, 50%.
NON-MINORITY UM, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE, UM, CURRENT BOUNDARIES IN THAT RED, IT DOES BRING IN THESE THREE PRECINCTS, UH, OUT.
IT MAKES CONSIDERABLE CHANGES TO EIGHT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'VE HAD TO GO UP NORTH TO PICK UP SOME MINORITY POPULATION AND UH, COME BACK BOWS, UH, INTO, UH, WHAT WAS, UH, PROBABLY OF 11 MAYBE, BUT BARRY AND BLUE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT'S AT IS A LITTLE AWKWARD LOOKING, BUT IT GIVES US THE NUMERICAL NUMBERS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
DISTRICT FOUR IS AT 5.15% DEVIATION.
[00:40:02]
EIGHT IS AT NEGATIVE.WHAT COULD WE GIVE TO EIGHT ONE? I GAVE HIM ONE WAS THAT 1 8, 9.
AND YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF DISTRICTS AROUND YOU THAT YOU CAN TRY TO SWAP WITH.
A FIVE IS AT A MINUS THREE, A EIGHT IS AT A MINUS 3.8.
SO WHAT ABOUT, WHAT DOES THAT? I CAN'T NINE.
WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE IT CAUSE IT'S ALREADY A 2.7.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO POP IT OVER.
UH, AND ONE AND TWO, THIS CONFIGURATIONS OF THE PLUS FOUR TO, THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE VIABLE.
SO YOU GOT FIVE AND EIGHT, BUT 1, 3, 3, AND 7, 1 33 INTO DISTRICT 7, 1 33.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GET MY LITTLE WINDOW AND CAN HANDLE IT.
TICKS IS LOW AT A MINUS EIGHT.
SO THAT'S COMING OUT OF A STAKES.
1, 5, 9, 3, 3, 5, 2, 1 5 3, RIGHT HERE.
WHAT? RIGHT ABOUT WHAT DOES THAT ONE? 8, 9, 1 8 9 RIGHT HERE.
IS IT A MINUS 3.1? THEY'RE ALL UNBALANCED.
I'M DONE UNBALANCED IMBALANCE THERE.
AND EVERYTHING'S IN THERE WITHIN THE DEVIATION? NO MINUS EIGHT.
WHERE DID THAT COME? DID THAT? THAT WAS ON THE LAST CHANGE AT SIX.
WE TOOK 1, 3, 3 FROM YOU RIGHT HERE.
WHAT ABOUT, DID YOU WANT TO KEEP 1, 3, 3? NO, NO, KEEP IT THERE.
WHAT DOES 1, 5, 4 DO? THAT'S PROBABLY THE SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF INTERSEX.
YEAH, PROBABLY A SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF MAKING A DOC ABOUT EVEN RIGHT.
THAT BRINGS THE DEVIATION FOR EIGHT TO MINUS NINE WITH A MINORITY POPULATION OF 46.9.
WHAT ABOUT ONE FIVE WATER ABOUT, UH, WITH WHAT ABOUT PUTTING MY FIVE, TWO AND EIGHT? ONE FIVE.
YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT IN SIX? YEAH.
AND ONE, FIVE TO EIGHT OR IS IT CONTINUOUS? LET'S SEE WHAT SHE DOES.
DOES THAT PREVENT THE CONTINUED BALANCES OUT DEVIATION MINORITY PERCENTAGES AID IS AT 45% WAIT, BUT YOU LOSE THE
YOU MOVING THAT INTO EIGHT AND THE CONTINUATION.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A CONTINUITY ISSUE.
THIS WAS OUR CORRIDOR TO BRING YOU TO THE SOUTH PART.
WHERE'S THAT AT? OH, WELL WE NEED TO GIVE HER SOMETHING.
WE NEED TO GIVE EIGHT SOMETHING.
CAN WE GIVE DISTRICT 8, 3 59 IN DISTRICT NINE? NOW TAKE A LOOK AND SEE.
AS FAR AS THE DEVIATIONS GO, UH, IT'S AT A 46% MINORITY AND, UH, THE DEVIATIONS ALL FOUND WITH SOUTH.
YEAH, I KNOW THAT'S AN IMPORTANT STAKEHOLDER GROUP FOR DENISE.
SO SORRY, WHICH ONE I GAVE YOU BACK 3 59, WHICH IS PARKED VIEW OR PARKED, YOU KNOW, IF YOU NEED STREETS, LET ME KNOW.
THEY ALSO GAVE YOU ONE, THREE, I THINK, BECAUSE IT'S GOT A BIG DEAL.
UH, THE LEFT, THE FARTHEST LEFT ON YOUR DISTRICT, BUT I PUT EVERYBODY IN WHACK OFF ON FIVE.
[00:45:01]
THAT PUTS EVERYBODY WITHIN THE DEVIATION.CAN WE GO TO THE BOTTOM OF DISTRICT NINE AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THIS MAP? CAN YOU PUT THE STREETS ON AS WELL AND ZOOM IN ON THAT BOTTOM PRECINCT? LET ME GET YOUR STREET NAMES UP A LITTLE BIT.
THEY'RE KIND OF SMALL IN THIS VERSION.
IF THAT HELPS ANY, UH, CAN, CAN YOU ZOOM IN A LITTLE MORE? I'M ASSUMING THAT'S DO I STILL HAVE SANTA MARIA ON THE BOTTOM THERE, MR. JEFFERSON, THIS IS TARGET THEN TO REG.
SO THAT STOPS THAT AIRLINE HIGHWAY THEN.
SO THIS MAP GIVES SANTA MARIA TO ROWDY.
UM, I'M NOT NECESSARILY OPPOSED TO IT.
I DO THINK, I DO THINK THE FOLKS IN SANTA MARIA AS A COMMUNITY, I THINK THEY IDENTIFY MORE WITH CCL IN THAT AREA.
SO, YOU KNOW, AS IF WE'RE LOOKING AT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, I MEAN, I THINK IT MAKES SENSE.
HAVE AN AIRLINE HIGHWAY, A MAJOR HIGHWAY MAKES SENSE AS A DELINEATION.
SANTA REASON, 360 7 PRECINCT 360 7.
CAN YOU SCROLL UP TO WHERE DISTRICT FOUR AND NINE MEET ME TO WE'RE LIKE, THIS IS HAROLD FERRY ROAD RIGHT HERE.
A LITTLE BIT IN THAT DISTRICT.
EIGHT IS ACTUALLY AT 46% IS ABOUT WHAT THE, UH, BLACK MINORITY OR RATIO IS FOR THE PARISH OVERALL.
UH, THE ORIGINAL FIVE BROUGHT IT UP CLOSER TO 50.
BUT THE CHANGES THAT WE MADE AT FOUR WAS DOWN, EVEN LOWER FOR WAS, WAS AROUND 38, WHICH I THINK IS WHAT? AROUND WITH THE, UH, THE, UH, WHAT WE CALL THE BENCHMARK.
YOUR CURRENT DISTRICTS WITH THE 2020 POPULATION.
[00:50:17]
ABSOLUTELY.THIS IS A PRECINCT YOU GAVE UP ONE UNDER THIS CONFIGURATION 3, 2, 3 DASH TWO.
SOME OF THOSE CHANGES, IF YOU WANT, JUST TO SEE IF IT EVEN WORKS, BRI, TWO'S CURRENTLY IN YOUR DISTRICT.
NOW THAT'S GOING TO PUT YOU TOO HIGH TO GET A PLUS SEVEN.
I WAS THINKING YOU MIGHT, MIGHT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO TAKE IT, BUT IT'S TOO DENSE ON THE POPULATION.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SEE ON FIVE, SIX? I SURE TRICK FOR A TRIBAL.
BUT SHE WEARS BLACK UNDER THIS CONFIGURATION.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON PLAN FIVE? IF NOT, WE CAN LOOK, WE CAN JUMP OVER PLANTS SEVEN.
I HAD LITTLE BRIEF CONVERSATION PRIOR TO THE MEETING.
HE WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT A COUPLE OF OPTIONS.
ACTUALLY GIVE ME ONE MINUTE AND LET ME DO SOMETHING HERE REAL QUICK.
THIS IS THE LAST ONE THAT WE SENT TO YAWN.
ALRIGHT, LET'S START WITH A 1 72 I'M 1 78.
THAT PUTS YOU AT A PLUS 4.6, BRINGS FIVE TO MINUS 8.9.
THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND ADD THAT TO SIX.
YOU'RE A LITTLE ON THE HIGH SIDE.
FIVE IS ON THE LOW SIDE, 1 72 OUT, DOWN HERE.
AND UM, LET'S SEE WHAT DOES SAY,
[00:55:06]
ALTHOUGH IT'S ACTUALLY AN 11 RIGHT NOW AT WORK.WE'LL SEE WHAT IT DOES WITH 11.
CAUSE IT'S CURRENTLY IN 11, UH, NUMBERS WORK THERE AS WELL.
HEY, THIS IS, THIS IS ELEVEN'S CURRENT BOUNDARIES.
SO YOU'RE NOT CHANGING ANYTHING THERE.
FIVE IS GOING TO BE OFF FIVE NEEDS, A PICKUP STONE 3 58.
THAT'S C RIGHT HERE COMING OUT OF FOUR.
THE MONTAS 11 WAR IS AT A MINUS 4%.
THAT'S GOING TO BE ERRANDS, PRECINCT, UH, FORD.
NOW TO MINUS 11, FIVE IS REBALANCED AT A MINUS 3.8.
UH, MINUS SEVEN ON FIVE MINUS 4.8 ON TWO.
ARE YOU GETTING CLOSER? NOT QUITE THERE.
GIVE ME A MINUTE TO RIGHT HERE THAT LEAVES SEVEN LOW AT A MINUS 8.9.
I'VE GOT 3,300 PEOPLE IN IT, BUT THE ROAD ON 22, 1 22 LEAVES TO AT A MINUS 6.8 AND FIVE AT A MINUS 5.4.
SO YOU TWO DOESN'T HAVE MUCH MORE TO GIVE UP.
UH, YOU HAD A PLUS 3 11, 7 HAS GOT A FEW PERCENTAGES THAT COULD USE THAT'S ABOUT IT.
UNLESS WE HAD 3.5, 4, 180 2 BACK IN FIVE RIGHT HERE.
I WAS LOST THERE FOR A MINUTE.
YEAH, NOTHING ABOVE, UH, I MEAN ZOOM OUT SO YOU CAN SEE IT A LITTLE BETTER.
ANYTHING ELSE Y'ALL WANT TO SEE ON SEVEN? YEAH.
I'D LIKE IT TO NOT SPLIT BAKER AND CHENEY BELL WITH BAKER AND JANESVILLE.
YOU WANT TO GO FASTER THAN I EVER GOT.
AND WE'LL SAY WE CAN SWAP YOU IN A MINUTE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO ON THIS PRECINCT.
[01:00:32]
OKAY.LET'S TAKE A LOOK AS ACCURATE BECKER AREA.
I'M GOING TO TAKE THE STREETS OFF FOR A MOMENT SO WE CAN GET A CLEAR VIEW OF THE PRECINCTS.
SO, UH, TWO SEVEN BACK IN ONE.
SO, UH, I CAN'T SEE IT, BUT ST.
JOHN, NO, NO, I DON'T NEED THE STREETS.
TWO 10 BACK IN INTO, YOU CAN BACK IN TO A MINUTE.
YOU 17 BACK IN A ONE CHANNEL ONE RIGHT NOW.
IS IT TWO? IS THAT TWO, TWO RIGHT THERE? Y'ALL ALL RIGHT.
HERE IS TWO, THREE RIGHT HERE.
IT WILL BE 37 AND TWO EIGHT AND 2 33.
THEN THE ONE ABOVE IT AND TWO EIGHT.
YOU HAD A PLUS 20 TWOS AT A MINUS 22, 24 BACK INTO THE ONE TO THE LEFT OF IT.
AND I KNOW LITTLE ONE TO THE RIGHT OF IT.
TWO IS ON MY SIX YEARS PLUS SIX.
IS THAT OKAY? THAT PROBABLY BE MY CHOICE, THE BALANCE OUT YET.
IT DOES AT A MINUS THREE AND A PLUS THREE AND THEN TWO 17 AND TO TWO? YEAH.
UH, BOTH STILL BALANCED DEVIATION, BUT YOU NOTICED THE CHANGE IS ALSO BROUGHT IT DOWN TO 39% MINORITY POPULATION.
CAN YOU JUST SAY THAT AS ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS MAP AND GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SEVEN BEFORE HE MADE THE CHANGE, BUT SAVE HIS AS A DIFFERENT NUMBER? NOT A PROBLEM.
I THINK, UH, IS THAT TWO 15 AND 2, 2 15 IS IN ONE.
CAN YOU PUT IT INTO, UH, IT'S STILL BALANCED
[01:05:01]
PLUS FOUR MONITORS FOR ME.ANY OTHER CHANGES ALL AROUND? SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CALL THIS? YEAH, IT WAS PROBABLY EIGHT AND SEVEN.
A B, I'M GOING TO JUMP BACK TO IT AND CREATE ANOTHER PROJECT.
WHAT I JUST DID MAKES IT TO WHERE WE'RE NOT SPLITTING COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST.
WE'RE NOT SPLITTING BAKER AND WE'RE NOT SPLITTING CHENEY JANESVILLE.
UH, YOU'RE YOU'RE MUCH CLOSER AS FAR AS TRYING TO MAINTAIN YOUR, YOUR CITY'S ZACHARY BAKER AND CENTRAL AND CHENEY BELL, WHICH IS A COMMUNITY.
IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE MORE COMPACT WITH REGARDS TO THAT AS COMPARED TO WHAT WE STARTED.
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS VERSION? IF NOT, THEN I'LL JUMP OVER TO SEVEN AND THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE EIGHT.
AS I SENT IT TO Y'ALL WITH NONE OF THE CHANGES THAT WE DISCUSSED EARLIER WITH SEVEN, WE'RE HAVE TO REPLICATE ON HERE.
THIS IS BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SEVEN.
AND WE'D PUT 1 78, 78, RIGHT? YEAH.
I THINK THAT WAS IT IS THAT I KNOW WE MOVED A FEW THINGS AROUND, BUT WE RANKED THAT'S WHERE WE ENDED UP WITH A FIVE WAS STILL A, WE MOVED SOMETHING WITH FIVE.
WHAT WAS IT? UM, OH, THAT WAS 3, 5, 8.
I THINK WE HAD, I GAVE HIM 180 2 IS ALREADY IN THERE RIGHT NOW.
DID WE TAKE SOMETHING OUT OF TWO AS IT BALANCED OUT? LET ME, LET ME SWITCH OVER REAL QUICK.
WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT HERE IN JUST A SEC.
SAY WHAT WE MADE THAT AND RIGHT HERE AT TWO, UH, TWO 11.
NOW WE'RE AT WHERE WE LEFT OFF WITH YOUR DISCUSSION AND THEN PICKED UP WITH DISTRICT ONE'S DISCUSSION.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'RE GOING TO LOCK THAT IN.
ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS, NUMBERS, ALL BALANCE.
WHEN DID Y'ALL WANT TO HAVE OUR NEXT WORKSHOP? I KNOW Y'ALL JUST WANT ANOTHER ROUND OF THIS FUN.
UM, SO I I'D LOVE SOME IDEAS AND THOUGHTS FROM Y'ALL ON THAT.
UM, I'M PULLING UP MY CALENDAR NOW Y'ALL HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS.
WE'LL BE OUT THE LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER.
SO WE REALLY, UM, AT A CONFERENCE.
SO WE, UM, I THINK WE NEED TO TRY TO GET SOMETHING APPROVED SOMETIME
[01:10:01]
IN THOSE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF SEPTEMBER, IF Y'ALL WANT TO CALL A SPECIAL MEETING, THAT'S FINE.IF Y'ALL WANT TO PUT IT ON THE SEPTEMBER 14TH AGENDA, THAT'S FINE AS WELL.
UM, THAT'S UP TO Y'ALL, BUT THAT WOULD PROBABLY IMPACT HOW MANY, AND IF WE HAVE MORE WORKSHOPS, PARDON? IT'S NOT INTRODUCING TONIGHT.
UM, THAT'S WHAT, UM, I WAS JUST TRYING TO, MY, MY OPINION IS Y'ALL NEED TO VOTE ON THIS SOMETIME SEPTEMBER 1ST TO SEPTEMBER 16TH, I THINK WOULD BE BEST.
UM, EITHER AT THE SEPTEMBER 14TH MEETING AS A REGULAR AGENDA ITEM, OR Y'ALL COULD CALL A SPECIAL MEETING SOMETIME IN THERE AND ONLY CONSIDER THE, UH, ADOPTING A REDISTRICTING PLAN.
SO AT ONE POINT THERE WAS AN AUGUST 12TH DATE THAT WE'RE THROWING AROUND.
I SENT YOU AN EMAIL LAST WEEK.
UM, I MISSED IT THAT THE PLANET THAT IS THE INTERPRETATION THAT THE COUNCIL ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE ALWAYS GONE BY IS THAT IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN ONE YEAR OF RELEASE OF THE DATA.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THE PLAN GOVERNMENT SAYS THOUGH.
AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE PARISH ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, I THINK WE HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER 12TH OF LAST YEAR, YOU SAID THE ORIGINAL DEADLINE THAT YOU THOUGHT THROUGH WHEN WE WAS GOING WAS, UH, THE FIRST, THE FIRST MEETING IN THE NEXT MONTH, IT'D BE OCTOBER, OCTOBER 12TH WOULD BE THE DATE, NO REAL DEADLINE, THE ORIGINAL DEADLINE.
WE THOUGHT IT WAS AUGUST 12TH.
WE NEEDED TO VOTE ON IT AT THE AUGUST 12TH COUNCIL MEETING, CORRECT? AUGUST 10TH COUNCIL MEETING.
I THINK WE'D LIKE TO STICK WITH THAT DEADLINE.
I THINK SO LET'S ERR, ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND IF WE HAVE TO DO ANY EMERGENCY INTRODUCTION, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A SPECIAL MEETING IF YOU WANT TO DO IT ON THE 10TH.
SO A SPECIAL MEETING WOULD BE ONE DAY, HOW MUCH TIME YOU NEED TO ADVERTISE 48 HOURS.
SO IF Y'ALL THINK Y'ALL, DON'T NEED ANOTHER WORKSHOP.
UM, Y'ALL CAN DO IT ANY TIME FROM, YOU KNOW, ANYTIME THAT WEEK OF AUGUST EIGHT THROUGH THE 12TH, RIGHT? WHY NOT INTRODUCE ON THE 10TH AND HAVE IT TO VOTE ON THE 24TH? YOU CAN DO THAT.
AND WHAT ARE WE VOTING ON? YOU WILL BE ADOPTING A REDISTRICTING PLAN, A MAT.
THERE WILL BE NO MAP DETERMINED IN THE INTRODUCTION.
THE MAT WILL BE DECIDED AT THE MAY VOTE AT THE MEETING, RIGHT? THE AGENDA ITEM AND MIKE FEEL FREE TO PIPE IN THE AGENDA ITEM.
WE'LL SAY SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF ADOPTING A REDISTRICTING PLAN.
FIRST BATON ROUGE, PARISH, METROPOLITAN COUNCIL.
SO WE INTRODUCE THEM BY GENERAL TITLE TO REVISIT TO THE, THE DAY, UM, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS MY APPRECIATION AND I MAY BE WRONG, BUT WE'RE ALL SUBJECT TO MALFEASANCE IN OFFICE.
IF WE DON'T ACCEPT THE MAP DURING A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.
SO IF WE HAVE A MOVING DATE THAT WE DON'T KNOW, OR WE'RE NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN AS TO WHICH DATE IS, I'M ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, OKAY.
I THINK THE LANGUAGE IS CLEAR.
I THINK THERE'S JUST BEEN A PRACTICE BY THIS BODY IN THE PAST TO STICK WITH ONE YEAR.
BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE OF THE PLANET GOVERNMENT, IT DOESN'T SAY THAT I PREFER TO ERR, ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION, WE STARTED WITH ONE DAY AND NOW IT'S A DIFFERENT DATE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED TO MOVE IT BACK.
I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ORIGINAL TODAY.
ANY, ANY DATE Y'ALL WANT TO, THAT'S JUST THE DATE BY WHICH IT MUST BE DONE.
SO DO IT BEFORE THAT ORIGINAL DATE OF THE 12TH WE CAN DO ANYTIME THE WEEK OF THE EIGHTH, THE EIGHTH AND NINTH AND 10TH.
AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DECIDE THAT RIGHT.
THIS MOMENT, IF Y'ALL DON'T THINK Y'ALL NEED ANOTHER WORKSHOP WITH MR. HAFFNER, THOUGH, WE CAN LET HIM KNOW THAT AND HE CAN GET US HIS, YOU KNOW, MAPS FROM TODAY AND I'LL UPLOAD THEM TO THE MORE PORTABLE AND ALSO THE PLANNED PUBLISHER.
SO THERE'LL BE AVAILABLE INCLUDING THE REVISIONS THAT WE DID TODAY.
AND I'M GOING TO SEND OUT A RECAP SHEET, STARTING WITH PLAN FOR THIS.
ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN USING WHOLE PRECINCT
[01:15:01]
PLAN FOR TO RECAP.AND I'LL DO A RECAP OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC CHARTS AS WELL.
WE HAVE ONE DOCUMENT, TWO PAGES THAT BASICALLY WILL GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION WHERE WE ARE NOW.
I DO THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP YOU ON STANDBY UNTIL WE CHOOSE A FIRM DATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO VOTE.
SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY TODAY, BUT IF WE DON'T CHOOSE A FIRM DATE THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER WORKSHOP AND HE MAY NOT, THE INFORMATION IS PRESENTED.
SO UNLESS WE CHOOSE A FIRM DATE, NOW I'D RATHER NOT SAY NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER WORKSHOP.
THE LAST THING I WANT IS THAT I'M ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR A DATE WHEN Y'ALL DECIDED Y'ALL Y'ALL NEED ME.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO ZOOM IN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I'D RATHER DO THIS IN PERSON, BUT IF Y'ALL WANT TO GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO THAT AND ASK HIM, GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM THE NEXT DAY.
NOW I HAVE A GENERAL IDEA WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
I'LL TRY TO KEEP THOSE DATES OPEN.
THERE WAS BEFORE AND AFTER THE SAME DATES, THAT SAME TIMEFRAME I CAN GET IN TOUCH AS SOON AS THEY KINDA MAKE UP THEIR MINDS ABOUT A DATE, THAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.
YOU CAN ROCK AND ROLL ON THAT.
I APPRECIATE YOU ALL TAKING THE TIME TO COME HERE EARLY.
AND I KNOW THAT TAKES A LOT AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE ON ANYTHING BEFORE WE CLOSE OUT AND I'M SORRY, I DON'T TURN MY BACK.
I'M SORRY THAT MY BACK TURNED TO Y'ALL BUT YES MA'AM ARE WE IN PUBLIC COMMENT? OUR, OUR PRIMARY CRITERIA ON REDISTRICTING IS TO REBALANCE THE POPULATION SO THAT THEY ARE NEARLY EQUAL IN POPULATION AND MAINTAIN YOUR MINORITY, UH, UH, REPRESENTATION.
AS YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IT NOW AT A MINIMUM, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF LEEWAY.
IT'S KIND OF A NUANCE TYPE OF THING AS TO WHETHER YOU'RE IMPROVING OR NOT, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GO WAY ON A LIMB IN MY OPINION, TO, TO, UH, DO OTHER THINGS BEYOND WHAT IS NECESSARY.
THE OTHER THING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS YOU WANT TO TRY TO MOVE YOUR DISTRICTS AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
THOSE LINES, THE REBALANCE THAT'S PRESERVATION, ACCORD DISTRICTS.
YOU WANT TO TRY TO KEEP THE COMMUNITY HAS INTEREST TOGETHER.
PEOPLE THAT HISTORICALLY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED WITHIN AN AREA OR A DISTRICT.
YOU WANT TO TRY TO KEEP THEM IN THAT IF YOU CAN, DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT.
SOMETIMES THE NUMBERS DON'T WORK, BUT THE MAIN THING IT PUSHES, THIS IS ONE MAN.
ONE VOTE, EVERYBODY ON THIS COUNCIL REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS COME INTO PLAY AS PART OF WHAT WE DO TO BALANCE OUT THE PLAN.
UH, THE ORIGINAL SET FROM PLANS ONE THROUGH FOUR.
ONE WAS JUST A STARTING POINT.
UM, UH, ONE PLANS, ONE AND UP UNTIL PLAN FOUR CAME OUT.
SOME OF THOSE HAD SPLIT PRECINCTS WITH THE, UH, LITIGATION WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD PLAN AND THE STATE BOARD HERE SAYING, WELL, IF YOU CAN MAKE A PLAN, BUT WITH WHOLE PRECINCTS AND THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
UH, AND TO SOME DEGREE, THAT IS CORRECT, BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO SPLIT IT, TO MEET OTHER REQUIREMENTS AND VOTING RIGHTS ACT.
BUT JUST TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE, STARTING WITH PLAN FOR WE'RE USING WHOLE PRECINCTS.
WE'RE NOT SPLITTING USING WHOLE PRECINCTS, BUT WE'RE USING WHOLE PRECINCTS TO BUILD OUT THE DISTRICTS PLANS FOR FIVE, NOTHING TILL NOW.
IT'S JUST HOW YOU COMBINE THOSE PRECINCTS TO BREAK THE DISTRICT HE DIDN'T WANT TO LEARN ABOUT IS RIGHT.
I'VE GOT A FEELING, JUST KIND OF READING THE COUNCIL.
WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO END UP WITH PROBABLY TWO THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BREED PROBABLY NARROW IN THEIR SCOPE ON, BUT IT'S PLANNED FOR A REVISION, A PLAN FOR PLAN FIVE OR REVISION THE PLAN FIVE.
ALL THESE ARE LITTLE WEEKS ON THE ORIGINAL ONE, PLAN SEVEN, UH, MODIFICATIONS ON THAT WILL BE THOSE I THINK ARE KIND OF THE BASIC PLANS THAT THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE LOOKING AT.
I DON'T WANT TO NAIL THEM DOWN ON THAT.
THAT'S JUST HOW I'M KIND OF READING IT.
AFTER YOU CAN GIVE YOU MY EMAIL, IF YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS, ALSO WE HAVE A, UH, UH, THIS SOFTWARE THAT YOU SEE RIGHT HERE, THIS IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE ONLINE.
THE COUNCIL PAID FOR A SUBSCRIPTION TO ALLOWS PEOPLE TO GO.
[01:20:01]
THE METRO COUNCIL WEBSITE AND YOU GO TO IT AND YOU ACTUALLY CAN PULL UP.I'LL HAVE THESE NEW PLANS ON THERE.
YOU ACTUALLY UP AND YOU CAN MOVE THESE PRECINCTS AROUND A SIGN UP AT DIFFERENT DISTRICTS, PEOPLE NUMBERS.
DID THEY SAY YOU GET AN IDEA OF HOW IT WORKS.
SO YOU'VE GOT A MUCH BETTER IDEA THAN PEOPLE THAT JUST STARTING FROM SCRATCH.
UH, YOU SEE HOW SOME CONFIGURATIONS WORK AND SOME DON'T, BUT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO ACTUALLY IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, SIT THERE AT NIGHT OR WHATEVER, AND JUST PLAY AROUND WITH IT AND SEE WHAT WORKS, WHO DID THIS.
UM, MIKE, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY ON AUGUST 10TH AT ONE O'CLOCK I'M NOT, I MEAN, IF YOU CAN PENCIL IT IN NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT, BUT YES, SIR, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
I MEAN, FLIPPING GOOD ON MY END TO ACTUALLY APPROVE NOT ANOTHER WORKSHOP.
NO, THIS WOULD BE A SPECIAL MEETING TO APPROVE A PLAN.
AND I WILL BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WE DON'T NEED TO, AND WE DON'T HAVE TO INTRODUCE HIM.
SPECIAL MEETINGS, HAVE WEIRD RULES WHERE YOU CAN JUST PUT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA.
SO IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING, UM, THAT APPROPRIATES FUNDS OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING ELSE OF THAT NATURE, YOU CAN JUST PUT HER ON A SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA.
IF ANYTHING CHANGES, LET ME KNOW MIKE AND JUSTIN CAN, UM, WALK YOU TO A CONFERENCE ROOM IN OUR OFFICE SO YOU CAN DO YOUR EXCELLENT APPRECIATE IT.
I'VE GOT A MEETING AFTER THIS, SO Y'ALL KIND ENOUGH TO LEND ME YOUR FACILITIES FOR A FEW MINUTES.
OF COURSE, IF I COULD JUST CLONE MYSELF, YOU KNOW, BUT ALL RIGHT.
THE INTERACTION ON THIS REALLY IS, IS, IS GOOD.
