SUMMARY Section 4.01(a) of the City Charter provides that there shall be a governing body composed of the mayor and five (5) commission members elected by the voters of the city as provided in this Charter. Not more than one (1) commission member shall reside in each of the five (5) commission districts provided for in Section 4.02 (a) of the Charter.The mayorshall be elected at large and may reside anywhere within the city. Section 4.02 of the City Charter requires that the City Commission appoint a Districting Commission for purposes of examining whether adjustments must be made to the City Commission voting district boundaries. On January 28, 2019, the City Commission appointed a Districting Commission pursuant to Resolution No. 2019-01. Further, the City retained the services of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council (ECFPC) to assist City staff with providing technical assistance to analyze the population and voting age population within the existing five City Commission districts, and to prepare a report and related maps. The City Attorney provided legal guidance. On May 24, 2019, the Districting Commission timely examined the report prepared by the ECFPC and conducted a public hearing related to a proposed new City Commission Voting District Map. The Districting Commission recommended a revised City Commission Voting District Ma Ordinance No. 2019-10. The proposed new map makes several adjustments to the boundaries of the existing City Commission Districts to account for population and voting age population changes since the last Districting Commission process in 2016. Based on legal guidelines regarding voting districts, the existing City Commission voting district boundaries are in essence being adjusted to rebalance population and voting age populations more equallywithin the five districts. The City Commission shall adopt the redistricting ordinance at least one hundred twenty (120) days before the next city election, which is November 3, 2020. If the City Commission fails to either accept or reject the redistricting ordinance recommended by the Districting Commission, the report of the Districting Commission shall go into effect and have the same effect of an ordinance. The proposed redistricting ordinance may not be rejected for any reason except for failure to comply with the specifications listed in Section 4.02 (c) of this Charter or failure to complywith other local, state or federal law. Section 4.02 provides: Section 4.02. - Commission districts; adjustment of districts.

Electors chosen shall not be employed by the city in any other capacity. The initial districting commission, creating and establishing the first commission districts, shall be appointed by each commissioner and the mayor from the city at large. (c) fications. The districting commission shall file with the official designated by the city commission a report containing a recommended plan for establishment or adjustment of the commission district boundaries.

Thereafter, such reports shall be filed within one hundred twenty (120) days of appointment to the districting commission. The commission district boundaries shall comply with the following specifications: (1) Each district shall be formed of compact, contiguous territory, and its boundary lines shall follow the center lines of streets insofar as practical or possible, or other boundaries available. (2) The districts shall be based upon the principle of equal and effective representation as required by the United States Constitution and as represented in the mathematical preciseness reached in the legislative apportionment of the state. AGENDAPUBLIC HEARINGS ITEM 402 1 MONDAY, (3) The report shall include a map and description of the districts recommended and shall be drafted as a proposed ordinance. Once filed with the designated official, the report shall be treated as an ordinance introduced by a commissioner. (d) Support.

(f) The city commission shall adopt the redistricting ordinance at least one hundred twenty(120) days before the next city election. If the city commission fails to either accept or reject the redistricting ordinance,the report of the districting commission shall go into effect and have the same effect of an ordinance.

Presenting The Districting Commission With A Recommendation For The 2019 City Commission District Boundaries, Reflecting the 2010 Census Population And Updated Development Data Since The 2010 Census Was Completed. The Districting Commission Must Forward A Recommendation To The City Manager For His Consideration By May 27, 2019. A document entitled, "City Commission District Realignment May 2019" was provided to the Districting Commission Members to which Mr. Smith reviewed the different pages and various aspects, criteria, and data. Continuing, Mr. Smith noted, "The Districts have two (2) primary criteria from a population and 'VAP' (Voting Age Population) perspective. The largest District can't be ten percent (10%) larger than the smallest District, in terms of population and 'VAP' (Voting Age Population), and then also for 'VAP' (Voting Age Population) and population, if you were to take the total population and divide it by five (5), that's reallythe optimal population for each District. No District can be greater or less than five percent (5%) greater than that value as well." Additionally, Mr. Smith explained, "You'll see in the summary, disproportionate population growth on the eastern side of the City is really going to force those boundaries just a little bit to the west. From a pragmatic perspective, my goal and our goal when doing this analysis was to really simplify - to do as small a number of edits as possible, and to keep those edits contiguous with roadways or rivers, just primary linear aspects of your City and I think you'll see that we've done that; and even consolidated one of your Districts in particular, quite well-so that could actually be a District improvement." Further comments. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES DISTRICTING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MAY 24,2019 PAGE 5OF7 On page 8, referring to the "Realignment Summary", it was noted that a reference was mislabeled. Attorney Garganese pointed out, "'3E' should be '3D'. Furthermore, Attorney Garganese suggested, "On the recommendation, we can clean that up. It's only on the map that it says '3E', you have '3D' everywhere else. The charts and the title is correct." Referring to the different Districts, Mr. Smith explained, "One of the major reasons why we added the Town Center down to the south, into that District, I believe, District Five (S), is because this major roadway right here is a very nice boundary; that's a very good contiguous boundary and kind of similar to the District over to the west, there weren't the proper number of units in anyof those developments to move them over without it looking a little bit awkward. So, that's why that Town Center piece went down to the south and southwest." Vice-Chairperson Maurice Kaprow referred to the top of page 9 and said, "The wording reads, 'The following population counts,VAP counts and deviations resulted from the five alterations made to the voting district.' There were .not five, there were onlyfour." Mr. Smith agreed with this. Discussion continued. Regarding some property on the east side of Tuskawilla Road which was currently under development, Mr. Smith was asked if that had been included in this Districting Report or would it be for the next Districting Commission. Mr. Smith explained he had a cut-off deadline and that particular development would be included next time, and added, "I can get you the date of that." Comments continued that with the proposed modifications, the current Commissioners would still reside in their current Districts. "I WOULD MOVE THAT THIS COMMISSION RECOMMENDS TO THE CITY COMMISSION THE ADOPTION OF THIS PROPOSAL AS PRESENTED." MOTION BY VICE-CHAIRPERSON KAPROW.

City of Winter Springs City Commission District Realignment - an..a...c.a 1959 May 2019 Report compiled by the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council with technical and historical guidance from staff at the City of Winter Springs I. Introduction & Report Summary Per Section 2.04 of the City of Winter Springs Charter, the City is required to analyze its Commission Districts every three years to account for changes in population and voting age population (VAP) within each district. Pursuant to federal law (see White v. Register, 412 U.S. 755, 764 [1973], and Brown v. Thomas, 462 U.S. 835, 842 [1983]), voting districts must be nearly equivalent in population, with a deviation of no more than 10% in population (and voting age population) between the largest and smallest districts within a jurisdiction. Moreover, districts cannot be 5% larger or smaller than the "optimal" district population, as described later in this report. An overall range of less than 10% is considered an acceptable "minor deviation". As discussed later in this report, disproportionate population growth on the eastern side of the City has greatly increased the population of District 2 relative to the other four voting districts. This disproportionate population growth has caused the current(2019) populations of the five voting districts to exceed the acceptable"minor deviation"of10%.This requires the City to redraw its district boundaries. II. Baseline Population Data On May 9,2016,a report from the City's Community Development Department(see appendix 1)tabulated the population of each voting district using the 2010 U.S. Census as a baseline.The report recommended that the City make one adjustment to the districts, referenced in the report as "Trotwood to Tuscora". The new 2016 population and VAP totals for the districts following this adjustment were as follows. District Baseline 20116 Population Baseline 2616 VAP 1 6,911 5,438 2 7,369 5,784 3 7,4017 5,893 4 7,193 5,358 5 6,987 5,307 Source:2610 community development department Report,5/9/2016 The 2019 project team used these district population counts as a baseline in this report. 1 III. Current Population Analysis (2016 — 2019 Growth) The project team began its 2019 population analysis utilizing the 2016 district population and VAP counts determined by the Community Planning Department as a baseline. The project team then adopted the methodology used in 2016, determining new population counts utilizing data on the number of new residential units built in each district. The City of Winter Springs provided the ECFRPC project team with Certificate of Occupancy data from May 2016 to May 2019 to determine the new population counts for each voting district. Utilizing this data,the following map (and associated data tables)were developed. GIS data is available upon request. 65 New Un- - _—� Whiter - o Q Spn s _ �� . _ u •36D nRw units � n U C3 O 26 new units C 16 new units LEGEND � `t C New single unit �� • Multiple new units � ---- i To ensure the accuracy of the data, the project team reviewed the 2016 population report to determine if any residential units were being double-counted as part of the 2019 analysis. The Certificate of Occupancy data included units from Tuscany Place, RiZe, Seven Oaks, and the Orange Avenue annex that were included in the 2016 analysis.These units were not included in the 2019 population count. No other special circumstances were encountered and all tabular excel data can be requested from staff. 2 Current Population Extrapolation To determine the 2019 district populations, the project team utilized the same methodology adopted in 2016.This involved multiplying the number of new units in each district by the U.S. Census' most current Seminole County figure for persons per household (2.76), as well as the voting age population (VAP) percentage present within the Census Block Group of each new residential unit. The voting age population (VAP) within each Census Block Group within the City is shown below. The figure utilized from this table was the voting age population percentage, labeled VAP %.

Federal District Requirements As stated in the introduction,voting districts cannot be 5%larger or 5%smaller than the"optimal" district population, and the range between the largest district and the smallest district cannot exceed 10%. Both of these criteria are violated per the new population totals. In short, population growth has disproportionately occurred in the eastern side of the City, so the districts must make a westerly shift. VI.

Additionally, the largest district had a deviation of just 6.6% relative to the smallest district. However, District 4 had a VAP that was 7.1% below the optimal VAP of 5,776 and District 1 had a VAP that was 5.4% above the optimal VAP, so one additional change was needed in order to fulfill the federal requirements. This involves a move of residences from District 1 to District 4. 7 Realignment Summary — 3D The parcels on the map below are included in the 3D district realignment.
