2001 Redistricting Public Access Plan

Consistent with the County's commitment to promote public participation in the redistricting process, the Public Access Plan seeks to ensure the widest practicable participation and dissemination of pertinent redistricting information. Redistricting information will be made available on this County Internet Web site. The Boundary Review Committee will hold Community Meetings, public hearings, a redistricting kit has been developed, and public access to a County Redistricting Work Site will be established to foster public participation in addition to other traditional public access.

Community Meetings: In order to facilitate the broadest possible public participation and to promote public education in this import effort, the Boundary Review Committee has expanded the public access plan to include community outreach meetings to be held during the evening hours in various communities of the County. The outreach meetings will be conducted in February, March, and April 2001. These meetings will address legal requirements for redistricting, time frames, public access procedures and the role of the Boundary Review Committee. Further, they will provide and opportunity for the public to advise the Committee on issues of concern with regard to the redistricting process. A listing of all scheduled community meetings, as well as summaries of those meetings already conducted, can be found on the Schedule of Important Dates & Committee Meetings Web page.
Public Meetings: A series of public meetings on redistricting will provide opportunities for persons interested in the redistricting process and potential changes in Supervisorial district boundaries to offer public comment and to communicate with Boundary Review Committee members. A listing of all scheduled public meetings can be found on the Schedule of Important Dates & Committee Meetings Web page.
Redistricting Kit: The redistricting data on this web site is also available in compact disk and packet format at the Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors. The office is located at the Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration, 500 West Temple Street, Room 383, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
