ADJOURNMENT. Page 1 of 18 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council October 6, 2016 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Special Meeting: 10/10/16 FROM: Stan Strebel, Deputy City Manager Executive SUBJECT: City Council District Boundaries I. REFERENCE(S): Memo from Dr. Peter Morrison, Demographer, dated 9-27-16 with Maps and Analysis for Three Alternative Plans Draft Ordinance, Amending Chapter 1.10 Pasco Municipal Code (Including Mission 7, Mission 8 Alternatives) II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4315, (Adopting Mission 7 or Mission 8) amending Chapter 1.10 of the Pasco Municipal Code regarding Voting Districts. III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The proposed Ordinance, attached, includes Alternatives Mission 7 and Mission 8 as discussed by Council at the meeting of October 3rd. In motion, Council should select one of the alternatives, which will set the basic framework plan for the City's submission to the Court by October 15th. Since early this year, following receipt of notice by the ACLU alleging violation of the Federal Voting Rights Act (VRA) due to the City's state mandated "at -large" system for electing district Councilmembers, Council has had considerable discussion on possible remedies in response to ACLU's claims. With the filing of a formal suit by ACLU and the City's and ACLU's joint preparation and filing of a partial consent decree with the Federal Court of Eastern Washington, the issue of the need to remedy systems which conflict with the VRA has been resolved. Judge Suko's approval of the consent decree effectively provides the Court with jurisdiction to approve a voting system for Pasco (i.e., district -based voting) though Page 2 of 18 contrary to state law. Council's vote, on September 19, to approve a Six-District/One At -Large Seat (6-1) Plan requires minor amendments to the Pasco Municipal Code regarding the election/district system, as well as re -defining of district boundaries. The City's demographer has developed alternative district boundary plans for Council's consideration. The number of options is somewhat limited by the goal of creating three Hispanic Citizen Voter Age Population (HCVAP) majority districts to assure Latinos with representation opportunity on the Council commensurate with their population in the community. As noted during the public hearing of October 3, Mission 7 plan provides for three HCVAP majority districts, each of which would have an incumbent councilmember in residence. The Mission 8 plan also provides for three HCVAP majority districts, only two of which would have an incumbent in residence. Council's adopted 6-1 Plan allows for the possibility of greater continuity of the existing election cycle and less disruption in implementation. While it is recommended that Council adopt the ordinance, thereby defining a preferred boundary alternative for submission to the Court by October 15, it is also recommended that the implementation details of the system be left open pending direction from the Court. Our legal and consulting team is unified in recommending that district boundaries be based on US Decennial Census numbers, the most recent information, of course, being from the 2010 count. This is also the position being taken by the ACLU. While it may seem counter -intuitive to use census data when 2016 estimates and the broadly used "housing unit" counting method is available, the Court is more likely to reject the City's plan unless based on direct counts (though older) as opposed to estimates (though more recent, but with the potential to undercount minority groups due to averaging). Per case law, nearly all VRA cases are determined with census data as the population basis. V. DISCUSSION: As most of the district boundary descriptions contain some precincts which are split in order to achieve an ideal balance of CVAP and population, US Census block groups and blocks are sometimes used to complete the necessary legal descriptions. Page 3 of 18 ALTERNATIVE REDISTRICTING PLANS M7, M8, AND M9 Peter A. Morrison September 27, 2016 This memo presents three alternative variants of a "6-1" redistricting plan for consideration by the Pasco City Council. In each "6-1" plan, six of City's council members would be elected by the voters in each of the City's six single -member districts; a seventh council member would be elected at -large. Each of these plans includes all the territory within Pasco's city limits as of mid -2016, and each plan is balanced on the total population of that 2016 territory as enumerated on the latest official decennial census of 2010. Each plan features three majority -Latino districts—that is, districts in which Latinos constitute the majority of all eligible voters (the citizen voting -age population). Each plan features one council seat that would elected at -large by all the City's eligible voters, among whom Latinos constitute 38.5% of the citizen voting -age population as of 2015. I estimate that this citywide Latino share of eligible voters will reach 43% by 2021, when the City may next consider adjusting its election district boundaries based on the 2020 decennial census. Here is an overview of each plan, followed by detailed tables and maps: Plan M7 For the City of Pasco as of 2016, District 1 has a population of 3,218 eligible voters, of whom 53.8% are Latino. District 2 has a population of 3,488 eligible voters, of whom 52.3% are Latino. District 6 has a population of 3,998 eligible voters, of whom 56.0% are Latino. The at -large seat would be elected by a citywide population of eligible voters that is 38.5% Latino as of 2015. This plan has a total population balance of 1.31 % (Total Deviation from Ideal). Plan M8 For the City of Pasco as of 2016, District 1 has a population of 3,148 eligible voters, of whom 54.0% are Latino. District 2 has a population of 3,488 eligible voters, of whom 52.3% are Latino. District 6 has a population of 3,998 eligible voters, of whom 56.0% are Latino. The at -large seat would be elected by a citywide population of eligible voters that is 38.5% Latino as of 2015. This plan has a total population balance of 1.59% (Total Deviation from Ideal). Plan M9 For the City of Pasco as of 2016, District 1 has a population of 3,148 eligible voters, of whom 54.0% are Latino. District 2 has a population of 3,530 eligible voters, of whom 51.8% are Latino. District 6 has a population of 3,998 eligible voters, of whom 56.0% are Latino. The at -large seat would be elected by a citywide population of eligible voters that is 38.5% Latino as of 2015. This plan has a total population balance of 1.98% (Total Deviation from Ideal).

AN ORDINANCE of the City of Pasco, Washington amending Chapter 1.10 of the Pasco Municipal Code regarding "Voting Districts." WHEREAS, the Pasco City Council is currently made up of five district seats and two "at -large" seats, all seats which, pursuant to Washington State law, are voted on city-wide in general elections; and WHEREAS, state law also requires that each voting district shall be as nearly equal in population as possible to each and every other voting district within the city; and further by ordinance, the City Council is required to re-establish district boundaries whenever the population of any district exceeds by ten percent or more the population of any other district; provided that no change to the boundaries of any district shall be made within ninety days prior to the date of a general municipal election, nor within twelve months after districts have been established or altered; and WHEREAS, the City has experienced an increase in and redistribution of population since the voting districts were last established, having occurred more than twelve months prior; and along with the overall growth, community demographics have continued to change such that, according to U.S. Census data, 20 percent of the population in 1980 was of Latino heritage, and today, that number is 56 percent. Demographic changes in the city's voting age population have followed, with approximately one-third of the voting age population identifying as Latino; and WHEREAS, noting the above trend, the City Council took particular care during the 2014-2015 redistricting process to assure that districts in areas more densely populated with Latino voting age citizens were structured in such a way as to maximize the impact of the Latino vote; and WHEREAS, through this process, the City Council recognized the impact of state law which prevents Pasco and cities like it from providing for a district -only based election system for voting in both primary and general elections, thus limiting the impact of the Latino vote; and WHEREAS, in May 2015, the City Council enacted Resolution No. 3635 declaring its intent to pursue a change in state law to allow District based -voting, declaring its continuing intent to provide equal voting opportunities for all of its citizens, and to provide equitable and proportional representation; and WHEREAS, the City actively pursued a change in state law through the legislative process during the 2015 and 2016 legislative sessions; however, the State Legislature has yet to pass a bill that would offer relief, and WHEREAS, Washington State Senator Pam Roach, at the behest of the City, requested an Opinion from the Washington State Attorney General regarding the City's authority, in light of RCW 35A.12.180 to change its election system to District -based voting for City Council, resulting in an Opinion on January 28, 2016 which noted that: Page 11 of 18 "Thus, RCW 35A.12.180 specifically denies to code cities the authority to restrict voting by ward (districts) at the general election. Therefore, a local ordinance that provided for general elections by ward would conflict with RCW 35A.12.180 and be preempted by state law... In sum, Code cities in Washington that believe they may be in violation of the VRA face difficult decisions and potential legal risk regardless of what course they choose"; and WHEREAS, The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Washington, in March 2016, notified the City that it believes the City's current election system, as it fails to provide for district -based elections, violates the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA) and that the ACLU would seek remedies, including court action, to make the City compliant with the VRA; and further, the City has been in active negotiations with the ACLU to evaluate the concerns raised, to ensure that whatever course the City Council elects to pursue will withstand any challenges for violating state or federal law, and to avoid litigation, if possible; and WHEREAS, Pasco City officials have been consulting with the ACLU to determine the data and the law that must be considered in addressing the alleged violations of the VRA and given the fact that state law precludes district -based voting in cities like Pasco, and Pasco's efforts to change state law to allow for greater flexibility have been fruitless, both the City and ACLU agreed that it was necessary to embrace limited litigation in Federal Court as the only available means to bring the force of federal law to remedy the problem that exists as a result of state law; and WHEREAS, the City and ACLU jointly entered a proposed a "Partial Consent Decree" which identified the likely violation of the VRA and sought to establish jurisdiction of the Federal Court to order an appropriate remedy to address the violation; and the City Council approved this action on August 15, 2016; and WHEREAS, on September 2, 2016 Judge Lonny Suko of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington granted the Partial Consent Decree thereby ordering that the City must, in order to remedy a violation of Section 2 of the Feral Voting Rights Act, implement a new election system. That RCW 35A.12.180 is abrogated under the Federal supremacy clause and enjoining the City, "from administrating, implementing, or conducting future elections for the Pasco City Council under the current at -large election method or any other election method that violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act"; and WHEREAS, the City Council held, after due notice, a public hearing on September 6 to take comments and evaluate the options for district -based voting, which included the current five- district/two at -large, six-district/one at large, and seven-district/no at -large alternatives; and WHEREAS, the Council determined that the six-district/one at -large alternative was preferred due to its providing three Latino citizen voter -age majority districts, the same number as possible under the ACLU's preferred seven district plan; and further, due to the plan providing greater opportunities for voters to influence the number of elections for members of the City Council and for voters to have the opportunity to run for seats on the City Council; and WHEREAS, further, the Council determined that the six-district/one at -large alternative provides for the possibility of greater continuity of government and ease in implementation and therefore, the plan was adopted by the City Council on September 19, 2016; and Page 12 of 18 WHEREAS, on October 3, 2016, the City Council held, after due notice, a public hearing on the six -district plan boundary alternatives, to receive and consider public comment on the alternative boundary plans; and WHEREAS, the Council, after due and deliberate consideration, has determined the preferred boundary plan, pursuant to RCW 29A 76.010, for amending said voting districts, NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That Chapter 1.10 entitled "Voting Districts" of the Pasco Municipal Code, shall be and hereby is amended to read as follows: CHAPTER 1.10 VOTING DISTRICTS Sections: 1.10.010 NUMBER OF DIVISIONS - EQUAL POPULATION IN EACH 1. 10.020 DISTRICT ONE 1.10.030 DISTRICT TWO 1. 10.040 DISTRICT THREE 1.10.050 DISTRICT FOUR 1. 10.060 DISTRICT FIVE 1.10.070 DISTRICT SIX 1.10.0-780 ELECTION OF COUNCILMEMBERS AND COUNCILMEMBERS-AT-LARGE. 1.10.0-990 COUNCILMEMBERS - RESIDENTIAL REQUIREMENT AND/OR REMOVAL 1. 10.09100 RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF DISTRICT BOUNDARIES 1.10.1910 ANNEXATION 1.10.14-20 RECALL PETITIONS 1.10.12-30 FILLING VACANCIES 1.10.010 NUMBER OF DIVISIONS - EQUAL POPULATION IN EACH.
