City of Arroyo Grande issued the following announcement on Feb. 22.
The City of Arroyo Grande, like many cities and school districts across the state, is making a change in how voters elect its City Council. Beginning in 2022, voters will vote for one City Council Member who lives in their district. This will replace the current system of at-large citywide elections in which voters have the ability to vote for all City Council Members. The Mayor seat will continue to be elected at-large.
We need your help to make this change and draw new City Council districts!
What do you consider the boundaries of your neighborhood? One of our primary goals when drawing City Council districts is to draw lines that respect neighborhoods, history, and geographical elements.
How to Participate
Share your specific thoughts, draw a map, or attend an upcoming hearing to get involved!
- Submit written testimony about your community, the districting process, or a specific map to publiccomment@arroyogrande.org.
- Click here to see the calendar of workshops and public hearings at which you can speak about the process or a specific map.
If you drew a DistrictR map using unofficial population estimates (prior to November 22, when the tool was updated), you will need to draw a new map using the official population data to ensure that your map is population balanced. If you try to edit your original DistrictR map, it will still be using the estimated data; you must start a new drawing by clicking the purple button “built out of 2020 blocks.”
Map submissions were due February 8th.
Draft Maps are now available for public review here
All plans under consideration are to follow the proposed election sequence:
District 3 and 4, November 2022
District 1 and 2, November 2024
