12. PUBLIC HEARINGS
12.a PALM DESERT REDISTRICTING 2023: PUBLIC HEARING #3 REGARDING
REDISTRICTING OF CITY COUNCIL BOUNDARIES
Mayor Kelly opened the public hearing.
City Clerk Mejia narrated a PowerPoint presentation and responded to City
Council inquiries. NDC Senior Consultant Shalice Tilton further responded to City
Council inquiries.
Gregg Akkerman, Palm Desert resident, spoke in opposition to Maps 105 and
109, asserting they create tall districts, divide communities of interest, reduce the
quality of potential representation, and dilute the vote of residents in North Palm
Desert.
Ron Perry, Palm Desert resident, spoke in support of Map 102b, and spoke in
favor of rolling out the election years for each district in numerical order, with
Districts 1, 2, and 3 in 2024, and Districts 4 and 5 in 2026.
Mayor Kelly closed the public hearing, there being no other members of the
public wishing to speak.
Mayor Kelly noted that splitting of gated communities struck her as the most
extreme failure to respect a community of interest, which is the case with Map
102b. She indicated her support of Map 109, encouraging those living in the
North Palm Desert area to consider the potential of two representatives for North
Palm Desert; noted that the Mid-Valley Channel has proven in recent months to
be a community of interest which Map 109 would protect; and highlighted the
unique characteristics of Portola Country Club and Palm Desert Greens Country
Club, both being gated communities where the resident owns both the land and
the mobile home, and face unique issues. She noted that the maps should
accommodate future growth so that there are less adjustments when redistricting
in response to the 2030 Census update.
Mayor Harnik expressed her opposition to Map 102b due to the splitting of a
gated community; spoke in support of Map 109 as the only map that does not
divide an HOA or gated community; noted that a priority in forming District 1 was
to not divide neighborhoods, a priority of the CVRA, and the same should be true
for this process.
Councilmember Nestande noted that the only map that does not divide a gated
community and requested clarification from the demographer that other maps
could not be modified to meet the requirement.
In response to Councilmember Nestande, Ms. Tilton advised that in her attempts
to population balance Map 102, she could not find a solution which did not divide
at least one HOA or gated community.

Mayor Pro Tem Quintanilla disagreed with the concept of not splitting a gated
community, stating those residents living outside a gated community should be
respected. She noted that if public input is an important part of the process,
public input favors the map that keeps the north area of Palm Desert together
and expressly states they do not want Map 109. She asserted that if a portion of
an HOA were to be split, it is less important than other requirements according to
the California Voting Rights Act.
Mayor Pro Tem Quintanilla noted the objective was to select two or three maps,
and that one map was not sufficient to present.
Motion by: Mayor Pro Tem Quintanilla
Present Maps 102b and 109 to the community as focus maps.
Motion Fails for lack of a second
In response to inquiry, City Clerk Mejia advised that staff's recommendation was
to select two to three focus maps to aid the City Council in selecting a final map
for adoption. However, if the City Council has narrowed their consideration to a
single focus map, it is within their authority to move forward with an alternate
action.
Councilmember Trubee noted Palm Desert's success can be attributed to being
predictable, reliable and not disruptive. He noted that moving forward he would
prioritize predictability and stability relative to the 2030 Census and supports Map
109.
Alternate Motion by: Councilmember Harnik
Seconded by: Councilmember Trubee
Select Map 109 as the City Council's focus map for further public input.
