 week. I think it for scheduling purposes it probably makes a lot of sense to try to look at Tuesday morning when we already have a 10 a.m. council meeting rather than trying to add another meeting on y'all's calendars. So if there's consensus there what we'll have Fernando do is pull your offices to see could you do it at 9 or 9 30 or do we have to do it at 10 and push back the council meeting. We'll check with y'all on all those things. In order to do so we need to make some updates or revisions to our original redistricting resolution and we have to do a few things which would be on the same agenda as the council meeting next week. One would be a revision to public meeting schedule. Currently we had held a time on Monday based on today's conversation it looks like we need to postpone that have it on Thursday of next week do it here at City Hall rather than in the remote location across the city so that we can still allow for a call-in option. I know there's at least one council member who will likely be traveling that they'll allow them to WebEx in for that meeting so we have all the technology need. So that will also be noted in the resolution as well as an update to how many days in advance we post a redistricting map session right now it's 10 days which was just our own shot in the dark so we'll update that accordingly so that we can actually meet on Tuesday to do another map session. What I miss Leigh Ann? You're no longer allowed to speak apparently. Is it your intent to have one public hearing or two? Well good question so if we have the one on why don't we give us some flexibility how about that so you can have you can require one in the resolution so we can give some flexibility for a requirement of at least one with some flexibility for council to decide after Thursday's public hearing whether or not we need to proceed with an additional hearing or not. I just felt strongly that the one we had last week was pretty effective we had a lot of good call-in options it seemed to flow well I know I like the idea of traveling across the city but it creates a few unknowns and sometimes as a hindrance to people that have enjoyed the opportunity to just call in for those hearings. Any other discussion around resolutions? We have a solution involving amendments to revise map v3 okay that involves a total of five amendments which Michelle will be able to illustrate on the screen. Some of the same some are the same amendments we discussed earlier today and some are new and we'd like to explain each one the first one is moving Fossil Creek and the Fossil Creek business district and Fairway Bend from the new district 11 to district 4. We discussed that earlier today I think the council was good with that. Second we're moving a portion of the Pauley neighborhood immediately south of the Texas Wesleyan campus from Rosdale on the north down to Avenue M as in Mike moving that area from the new district 8 to the new district 11. It's a small area just south of Texas Wesleyan. That is the second proposed revision. Third and we discussed this earlier today moving Old Handley the portion of Handley west of Lupe 20 from district 5 to the new district 11. Fourth moving the Chapel Creek neighborhood north of I-30 from district 3 to district 7 and in exchange for that revision moving the Burton Hill neighborhood just north of Westover Hills from district 7 to district 3. Once you make these five changes to revise map v3 we meet the 10% population range requirement and we meet the council's objective of creating two likely Hispanic minority opportunity districts. District that new district 11 becomes 52.65% Hispanic voting age population and new district and district 2 becomes 62.05% Hispanic voting age population. So we meet both of the objectives that the council had set for maximizing Hispanic voting strength. We also have a district 9 with the almost 45% Hispanic that doesn't make it a Hispanic opportunity district but it does provide a high degree of Hispanic voter strength. So madam mayor council members staff presents that the proposed solution to you for your consideration. Fernando there was one additional one that wasn't accounted for in the previous version district 7 continued north on University all the way to the river and now instead it comes back to one of the previous boundaries. Is that white settlement? Yes so white settlement to University this neighborhood moves from 7 to 9. So the the Bailey triangle moves from from 7 to 9. For sake of argument can we also compare map X to the new version? I think we had map X gave us to Hispanic districts. Yes. And what was the percentage on those compared to the the percentage on this map? We'd have to look at the handout that we gave you earlier today. I'm sorry. The original version X had district 2 at 68.4% Hispanic VAP. This version has 62% so the percentage goes down but it's still a strong Hispanic district. And then map X had a second strong Hispanic district district 11 at roughly 52.9 almost 53%. Now the the new district 11 has 52.65 almost 53%. So so you could say that the solution we've just discussed comes up with Hispanic voter strength roughly equivalent to that of map X. The map X. Yes. Okay. Accomplish is the same objective while also creating three likely African-American districts being well 5 and 8 being 5 in the new 11 or the new 8 I'm sorry 5 in the new 8 being likely and 6 being a so-called toss-up. I have a question. If we are able to agree on a map tonight and that map is circulated you know to the public by whatever means we we deem appropriate you know meeting here at City Hall the input that we get from the public well will the public's input have a chance to influence this map that we're agreeing on. Yes. Yes. The purpose of the public hearing would be to receive comments on whatever map the council decides to disseminate for public review and then you'll have one more map drawing session in late March to fine tune the map in response to those comments that you receive. So yes the purpose of public hearing is to have an appreciable impact on your decisions and the the other bit of information that I want to put on the table and Fernando I'm assuming it'll probably be with you but I'd like to work offer my information or whatever to anyone who can communicate what we're doing here to our business corporate community because this is major and I think it's important and respectful that we communicate with those top employers not just relying on the chamber as a source of information sure and I'd be willing to work with with legal on course and and and we'll want to cooperate with the three chambers but not not relying solely upon them we'll be happy to do that. Okay. So just in this map I would just want to conclude I know Kerry has a map that he wants to show the other version so in the initial comments earlier this morning this version three is closer and similar to map X as well as this version three gives the same opportunity as the first Hispanic district and the second Hispanic district percentage wise as map X. This map also keeps community of interest together. And so with the recent changes of other districts as far as Chapel Creek east of west of Linnwood and district seven I would like to hear a commentary from them before move to the next map if that map works for that district or not specific to Linnwood. So that we made five changes since we break and I just want to know if those changes work for the district or there's new changes we need to make. Can you do you mind zooming out so we can get up so anybody that had impact to changes are familiar with those areas fossil creek poly Hanley Chapel Creek Burton Hill and Bailey and what was the last one Bailey triangle that's what it looks like now in district nine from the new one to that west boundary right there scrolling well so yeah it follows barrier round yeah so on district nine those changes are amenable to to me for any of that is one additional change that we did not account for another change the seventh change in explain that again it takes blue bonnet neighborhood from three to nine blue bonnet hills sorry blue bonnet hills from three to nine and then to piggyback on what Chris said agnostic of maps which one we choose I think it's really important to note that the task force map X take a take aside the districts drawn that had Hispanic opportunity districts one of the number one issues that we've all faced is the splitting of lots of communities of interest that we've all had to deal with that we got abundant feedback in this last public hearing and so I know how hard the task force work to adopt that map but we were gonna have to make significant changes to put those neighborhoods back intact which I think we've done pretty well and importantly some of the other recommendations such as Como caused some significant pushing in other districts and we've done that so I think there's been some chatter in the community about why are you changing map X well we really had to based on significant feedback from neighborhoods whichever direction we end up going the task force itself recommended that you move Como into district 6 and so that itself with the map X exactly okay I think yes yes 44.59 so I think for district 7 we're okay with Chapel Creek with that change right because that's a community of interest there important to them to stay together and then the other area I think you mentioned Fernando effected was the Linwood Burton triangle Burton Hill would be fine from 7 to 3 and Bailey triangle will be moving from 7 to 9 that's fine both are fine okay call us as you get the numbers on the new district no the new district need you confirm number 9 the new district is number 11 which is at 52.7 right now correct what's the 11 the 11 is 52.65 percent Hispanic voting age population the new district 11 is 52.65 percent Hispanic voting age population I just want to clarify it would be a likely Hispanic this this is just one of the submission we're making there's another submission coming so right so we're anticipating that at this time we have a solution based on version 3 we may have another solution but this is a solution that works any other comments or questions about this map no okay do you want to pull up what you have for version 2.1 million five yeah it should be v2 to v2 vision to not yet but I can create one before and today okay great we want to start with numbers district 2 is at 62.39 and the next highest is district 9 with forty seven point eight eight and district eight with forty four point four three district eight has forty four point four three percent Hispanic VAP and district nine has forty seven point eight eight Hispanic VAP same since this data was 33% African-American 42% Hispanic and then 16% white so most likely district 8 will be a Hispanic opportunity I don't think that's correct Carrie and because I think what we learned today was the terms likely are strong have no distinction I agree that I think the best thing to do is just have bigger staff review the two maps and just gives the summary like they did on the others oh I think so for sure but I also what we heard was over 50% is what we were looking for for Hispanic opportunity district and neither one of these get to that so I know you've had many a conversation your colleague councilman Flores in the package we had in the package we got prior for today's meeting they labeled district eight Hispanic opportunity and it was under 50% I am aware of what they labeled it because I read the packet the same way you did what I'm saying is that we collectively through discussions many many hours decided that 52% to get to where map X left us off and that's 52% am I wrong I don't want to speak for you Carlos or anyone else but it was my understanding that we all set here and we went through this exercise of pains taking me carving out carving up councilman nettles and council woman bibbons districts to create 52% to get a real opportunity at Hispanic Hispanic leadership in that district and so I I don't I don't really care what bigger staff says on this one none of them get to that 50% so I mean we can send it off but I'm gonna tell you right now where I'm gonna stand on this one carry where is the the new opportunity I think the colors are different I want to miss quote the new district as far as the new district will be district 11 and district 10 that's just where I want I want bigger staff to tell us what that will be but I'm saying we'll be the new Hispanic opportunity Hispanic opportunity would be eight would be eight and maybe nine is the white population is less if you don't ratios ratios can you go back to can you go back to eight nine I want to point out the white population particularly in district nine the district that I currently represent can you go down and give me the demographics on that yeah so 34.58% VAP white yeah yeah that's a white district I don't care how you can you can paint it whatever color you want but white wash in it that's a bigger step painted it in their analysis they gave us yesterday okay so as I've we talked about this earlier and I hate putting councilor Flores on the spot but the consensus I got before this is that we needed a little more time for him to work with Hispanic community that he's hearing from heavily to make sure we understand which decisions we're making we probably need to get that through Tuesday if that's not the case we can try to vote a map out tonight but I don't think we get there based on the basic math around the table so unless you've you feel differently Carlos and I think you've got your map Elizabeth's been very clear on where her position is and as she represents district nine on her concern about that really not electing a Hispanic member of the community any other feedback I mean if you zoom in may have you don't mind just right here you zoom into that word goes into district eight where I currently represents what is that dividing line is that the railroad track because that is morning side south side and historical south side completely taken out of district eight that coincide with each other and that is truly to Michael's point earlier they might not have labeled as a community entry but that is truly a community interest that you completely took away from district eight and for that I couldn't support this map well in fairness you have had a corner and working to formalize y'all's map and clean it up and we haven't had the opportunity with version two so let me say that that is a complete misstatement it's not Sally has been working and I've been working they said the same table but she never really took the map that we had in until very at the end she most Melissa has been truly I'm sorry Michelle I do that every time has been out there working on that map the whole time so but Carrie just hasn't had the same opportunity to do that work for this can we go to the north side did you fix north side in this map can we go to north side because in the original map that you submitted north Beverly Hills you completely took out which is 2,200 people which is 76% Hispanic you also took out the South corner because it's in the Lake Worth ISD you also we don't care about the Lake Worth ISD almost about maybe Leonard does Carrie this is ridiculous no it's not you took out you just for the same it's the same time that you got to spend I'm motion that we accept and we move forward with Matt yeah that's right you guys I mean you've had a good opportunity and everyone work through this today patiently to talk about what the options are I think it's fair for Carrie to have the same opportunity to present and listen to what the feedback is and what may or may not work for people and I don't think anyone was yelling about it earlier why are we yelling about it now who's yelling you're yelling no I'm not yelling I said care you are I talked my math is into the mic you talk a little like this that's not mean I'm yelling I can show you yelling I'm not yelling Leonard okay but I'm just giving my opinion to the map I think the point is if you want a motion to pass a map absolutely you can do that we can do that now and see where it goes otherwise I think we have a game plan to try to get us to consensus on Tuesday I think staff has direction to take this version and the careful revisions that were version 3 today to bigger staff to make sure they have a full analysis as we've relied upon since then and then make a decision Tuesday and have a public hearing and get feedback so I think those few days is gonna be okay I don't think it hurts anything but Chris if you want to make a motion go for it and we can we can try to just make sure you're motioning for the right map okay just whatever one Fernando which is the map that I'm I'll just I'll just say yeah if this doesn't throw off the plan that you put forward us still voting a map that people we take on March 29th I'm okay and I know it is giving Carlos a little more time and people who look at this you may not change the results right I also don't think it if we force about today we we've taken a whole lot of time to do this so it's right for our citizens across the board and I just want to make sure we're doing that too and so no one feels pressure that we got to walk away and send out a map that may go down on a five whatever it is I don't think that's fair to put in front of people either if we can get to a consensus that's right for everybody yeah go ahead girls we've done some really good work and I understand we've been here a lot and we've seen I'm seeing maps everywhere I turn now literally okay like shadows have it you burned into my retinas and that's fine okay I don't want to I don't want anyone to say that we're rushing this project anymore our timeline is beginning to close I get that all right but yeah you don't think it hurts us at all just to take a pause okay give these you know interest groups that are watching us right now trying to see what our machinations are what our thoughts are a little time with it and more importantly give bigger staff time to do what they're paid to do you know I'd like to see them you know wash through it I think I think it can only help us okay I think that I think that's fair yeah I understand the position that you're in and I think everyone at this table understands that we don't want you are you are the only decision because you were the only Latino on this council and you understand the community pressure that you're receiving to make sure that that we get this right and the world is being put on your shoulders to make sure this happens right now and I understand that and so if it takes us sending this new map that we spent today on back out to bigger staff to have their analysis done of that I can support that but what I want to see is when we come back to this on Tuesday we will have the bigger staff reports Michelle I don't want you to have to stand up there I don't want to see a situation where Michelle is standing up there I don't want to see that I don't want to see that again I don't want to see it again what I want us to be able to do is we have the information we have the data we have illegal analysis and we pick one on Tuesday and we take it out to the public because if we start redrawn again we're gonna be in that same situation we are now and so if if there's a commitment that that's what we will do I can I'll make the motion right now and we can end this and we can go to public comment Liz but I agree with it with everybody saying and only I want to add to that is we cannot keep waiting to the ninth and the eleventh hour in our fairness to this a council we came with these maps here none of us knew about what comma want to be in district six until the ninth hour that was not fair to me because I started getting calls about it wasn't for it to Michael and it wasn't for a lot of this council then we we fixed that then we come again tonight our and now it's about the 52% of the 50% and I get your concern Carlos and that's not for the US web but it's not fair to us too because Kerry has been working as Michelle would say for over a year and a half and I have been working during everybody else has been working so when we we come and we think we have something to present but then a ninth hour something different you know and even you know Chapel Creek and this and that if we go back and come next Tuesday is there anything else that we need to be aware of that as we are trying to fix this map I'm being so serious because is it 52% point nine 52% point six is it Ryan would I know you gonna keep Ryan would I mean what is it so that we can make sure we come back up so we care you gonna work on your map some more before you send to bigger okay we need to know that yeah but the point is that on Tuesday we're gonna vote on a map we're gonna vote on a map I do have some ahead you just just a simple statement to share what the public is seeing right now is a very reason why they don't think council members need to be involved in crafting maps but I learned a lot watching this process because this is my first time going through redistricting and Kerry you know when you asked me early on what I wanted I tell you then I don't think we should be doing that but since we did I like the idea of 52% or higher to get that minority opportunity district for the Hispanic population I like that anybody who wants to go lower I questioned that in terms of it that's if that's a real sincere effort but what I would share with you all is number one it was crazy from the very beginning that people would take stop six out of district five it's been a whole bunch of craziness going on but at the end of the day nobody's gonna get everything they want so you got to figure out how do we take care of the people how do we take care of the citizens of Fort Worth Texas now I've never seen people demand to be in a certain district but I've seen that now and since we entertain that that's a discussion that has to be incorporated in whatever we do but at the bottom line Tuesday is what's the term you use go time we're done we're done and so we have to got to leave her today to make sure we all understand we're done but to be fair to each other if anybody wants to add or take another component from the maps that we've agreed on today at least have the decency to let us all know as a group and if you can't write us let Fernando know we'll avoid that quorum let us know that's the decent thing to do thank you and so Kerry you still want to work on your map so I don't need to if it messes it up I mean there's Michelle was not just let me say it without there's a there's a lot of small clicks that can take place for every block yeah Jean and I have a district boundary that intersects a street and and that's the time that she was able to spend to clean up version three that should be afforded to version two and that's a fair request just for clarification Fernando if you could give us or maybe this is a legal question the drop dead date that that any revisions Councilman moon wants to make to his map needs to go so that bigger staff can do it an analysis on any any changes so if we have that and then if we could get the information Monday so whatever that deadline is I'd like to have it the evening before so that we can digest it I'll pull it all nighter again get it done she can have it 8 a.m. in the morning she can make her play the four hours you'll have about noon tomorrow in the interest of transparency when we publish a notice of next Tuesday's map drawing session we would like to have the two maps version 3 amended in version 2 amended available for public review so the public has at least 72 hours to review the maps in advance of your meeting that's good and I think it would be fair to give bigger staff a day or two to perform their work so if we could get amended version 2 from councilor moon by noon tomorrow I think that would facilitate the completion of these tasks you want me to motion your resolution what we don't need it we don't need to amend the rules well where she's gonna actually that resolution will be on the agenda on Tuesday I think I think legal's got direction they need are we taking two out what are we amending in the resolution just we're gonna we're gonna be a little more flexible we're gonna say at least one public hearing give us ability to have more we can decide that next week once how this process goes we have a scheduled public hearing here at City Hall on Thursday of next week at 6 p.m. it originally was scheduled in the community we're gonna have it here so we have call an option because I got good feedback from people they wanted to do that but still one map right we didn't have that capability that's the most important part yeah okay the resolution would provide for one public hearing and reduce the notice requirement from ten days to three days for a map growing session Leonard did you have something no as painful as this has been and I know hard on everybody I don't think anybody is this transparent with redistricting and there's a reason why people do it behind closed doors because it's a lot easier to do that and we did not do that right and in defense of having council members involved you're right Gina you do end up with things like stop six not in district five when you don't have really careful input in all these other neighborhoods that have history with specific districts or need to stay together so people may not love the way we did it but I can't think of a more transparent way to do it so with that we're good we're adjourned yes okay we have 30 minutes
