Every ten years, districts must be redrawn so that each district is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each city councilmember represents about the same number of constituents. In Wildomar, the City Council is responsible for drawing council districts.

Redistricting is done using U.S. Census data, which is usually released around March 31, 2021; however, due to COVID-19, the U.S. Census data was delayed and the information will not be available until September 30, 2021. For the City of Wildomar, the redistricting process must be completed by April 17, 2022.

Redistricting determines which neighborhoods and communities are grouped together into a district for purposes of electing a councilmember.

The City Council will seek input in selecting the next district map for our City Council. You have an opportunity to share with the City Council how you think district boundaries should be drawn to best represent your community.

You can contact the City Clerk at 951-677-7751, ext. 210, or email Janet Morales to find out more about how the process works.

You can find a map of the City’s current council districts on our District Map.

To the extent practicable, district lines will be adopted using the following criteria:

• Geographically contiguous districts (each city council district should share a common border with the next).
• Geographic integrity of local neighborhoods or communities shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division.
• Geographic integrity of a city shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division.
• Easily identifiable boundaries that follow natural or artificial barriers (rivers, streets, highways, rail lines, etc.).
• Lines shall be drawn to encourage geographic compactness.
• In addition, boundaries shall not be drawn for purposes of favoring or discriminating against a political party.

The City Council will reach out to local media to publicize the redistricting process. Also, we will make a good faith effort to notify community groups of various kinds about the redistricting process. Our Public Hearings will be provided in applicable languages if residents submit a request in advance. The City Council will notify the public about redistricting public hearings, post maps online before adoption, and create a dedicated web page for all relevant information about the redistricting process.

The City Council will be holding hearings to receive public input on where district lines should be drawn.

By law, the City must hold at least four public hearings that enable community members to provide input on the drawing of district maps:

• At least one hearing must occur before the city or county draws draft maps
• At least two hearings must happen after the drawing of draft maps
• The fourth hearing can happen either before or after the drawing of draft maps

Those hearings are tentatively scheduled for the following dates:

• You may view the Regular Session meeting live on the City of Wildomar's website or on cable TV through Frontier Channel 36 or AT&T Channel 99. To view from the website, select the live stream link on the top of the front page.
• You may participate via the Zoom Webinar Telephone or Videoconferencing. Join Zoom Meeting

Cada diez años, los distritos deben ser rediseñados para que cada uno de ellos sea sustancialmente igual en población. Este proceso, llamado redistribución de distritos, es importante para asegurar que cada concejal de la ciudad represente aproximadamente el mismo número de conciudadanos. En Wildomar, el Ayuntamiento es responsable de diseñar los distritos del consejo. La redistribución de distritos se hace usando los datos del Censo de los EE.UU., que es publicado alrededor del 31 de marzo de 2021. Para la Ciudad de Wildomar, el proceso de redistribución de distritos debe completarse antes de 17 de Abril 2022.

La redistribución de distritos determina qué vecindarios y comunidades son agrupados en un distrito con el fin de elegir a un concejal. El Ayuntamiento buscará aportes para determinar el próximo mapa del distrito para nuestro Ayuntamiento. Tu tienes la oportunidad de compartir con el Ayuntamiento cómo crees que los límites del distrito deben ser diseñados para representar mejor a tu comunidad. Puedes contactar con el Secretario de la Ciudad en email City Clerk | 951-677-7751, ext. 210 para saber más sobre cómo funciona el proceso.

Puedes encontrar un mapa actual de los distritos del Ayuntamiento aquí: Mapa de los distritos.

En la medida de lo posible, las líneas de distrito se adoptarán utilizando los siguientes criterios:

1. los distritos geográficamente contiguos (cada distrito del ayuntamiento debe compartir una frontera común con el siguiente),
2. se respetará la integridad geográfica de los vecindarios o comunidades locales de manera que se reduzca al mínimo su división,
3. se respetará la integridad geográfica de una ciudad de manera que se reduzca al mínimo su división,
4. se establecerán límites fácilmente identificables que sigan las barreras naturales o artificiales (ríos, calles, carreteras, líneas de ferrocarril, etc.), y
5. se trazarán líneas para fomentar la compactación geográfica. Además, no se establecerán límites con el fin de favorecer o discriminar hacia un partido político.

El Ayuntamiento se pondrá en contacto con los medios de comunicación locales para dar a conocer el proceso de redistribución de distritos. Además, haremos un esfuerzo de buena fe para notificar a los diversos grupos de la comunidad sobre el proceso de redistribución de distritos. Nuestras públicos se ofrecerán en los idiomas pertinentes si los residentes presentan una solicitud por adelantado. El Ayuntamiento notificará al público sobre la redistribución de distritos, colocará los mapas en línea antes de su adopción y creará una página web dedicada a toda la información relevante sobre el proceso de redistribución.

El Consejo de la Ciudad celebrará hearings para recibir aportes públicos sobre dónde deben trazarse las líneas de los distritos. Esas hearings se llevarán a cabo en:

• 8 de Septiembre de 2021 6 pm (PDF)
• 10 de Noviembre de 2021 6 pm (PDF)
• 12 de Enero de 2022 6 pm (PDF)
