- November 17 Special Meeting to Consider Transition to District-Based Elections in Pacifica - Similar to hundreds of local governments across California in recent years, a legal challenge based on the California Voting Rights Act is forcing Pacifica to consider moving to a district-based City Council elections system, beginning with the 2020 City Council election. The City is seeking your input in planning for this change and has created a webpage, www.drawpacifica.org, where you can learn more about this process and provide your ideas for district maps. The next public hearing on the districting process and discussion of draft maps will be held on Saturday, November 17 at 10:00am at City Council Chambers, 2212 Beach Boulevard. Click here for the Agenda. Draft maps for consideration at this special meeting are now available for public review at http://drawpacifica.org/draft-maps/ Share your thoughts with us about which maps you like or dislike! You can even draw your own revisions to any of the posted Draft Maps and share with us. Future revisions can include revisions aimed at addressing concerns raised by residents. Please send any questions you may have, or any map suggestion(s) you wish to make, to Pacifica@NDCresearch.com. You can also contact the City Clerk’s office by email to coffeys@ci.pacifica.ca.us.
