Riverside County’s redistricting public hearing

AV to release first redistricting map

Apple Valley will release the first draft of its 10-year redistricting map March 1.

That draft map, the product of two public hearings, will be the subject of a third public session scheduled for March 8, according to a statement on the town’s website.

Adoption of final map is expected March 22.

Every 10 years, California cities and counties are required by state law to redraw their district boundaries so that each district has roughly the same number of residents, so council members and supervisors are representing approximately the same number of people.

By law, redistricting must respect a neighborhood’s geographic integrity, and divisions must be kept to a minimum. No borders may be drawn in favor of, or against, a political party.

All decisions are based on U.S. Census data, according to the statement.
