City of Aliso Viejo AGENDA ITEM DATE: June 7, 2023 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mitzi Ortiz, Director of Government Services SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING BY-DISTRICT ELECTIONS, DEFINING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, AND SCHEDULING ELECTIONS WITHIN THE DISTRICTS Recommended Action: Conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION 1.12.020 TO CHAPTER 1 OF TITLE 1 OF THE ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING BY-DISTRICT ELECTIONS, DEFINING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, AND SCHEDULING ELECTIONS WITHIN THE DISTRICTS. Background: The City of Aliso Viejo currently elects its five-member City Council through an “at-large” election system in which each Councilmember may reside anywhere in the City, and each member is elected by voters Citywide to provide Citywide representation. This is in contrast to a “by-district” election system where the City is divided into geographical districts, each Council candidate must reside in the district they will represent, and only voters within a given district vote for that district’s Councilmember. On January 31, 2023, the City received a letter from Kevin Shenkman of Shenkman & Hughes on behalf of the Southwest Voter Registration Education Project and its Aliso Viejo members. The letter claims the City’s at-large voting system dilutes the ability of Latino voters to elect candidates of their choice or to otherwise influence the outcome of City elections. As a result, Mr. Shenkman claims, the City’s at-large elections violate the California Voting Rights Act (“CVRA”). This letter must be sent as a prerequisite to any lawsuit claiming CVRA violations. In response to Mr. Shenkman’s claim, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to transition to by-district elections at its meeting of March 15, 2023. 13

Discussion: To complete the transition to by-district elections, State law requires the City Council to hold a total of four public hearings, with two held before the drawing of district maps and two held following the drawing of district maps. The City Council held the first of four required public hearings on April 5, 2023, the second on April 19, 2023, the third on May 3, 2023, and the fourth on May 17, 2023. On May 17, 2023, following the public hearing, the City Council approved the introduction and first reading of the subject Ordinance by a 5-0 vote. If adopted, the Ordinance will take effect 30 days after adoption. Attachment: 1. Ordinance 14
