Agenda 12/14/2021 Item # 9A (Resolution - Establishing New County Commission District Boundaries)12/14/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to consider and adopt a Resolution establishing new County Commission District
boundaries, pursuant to Chapter 124, Florida Statutes, and the Florida Constitution.
OBJECTIVE: For the Board of County Commissioners ("BCC") to adopt a Resolution establishing new
county commission district boundaries for the purpose of distributing population among the five
commission districts as nearly equal as practicable.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Constitution of the State of Florida, Article VIII, Sectionl.(e), requires
that, after each decennial census, "the board of county commissioners shall divide the county into districts
of contiguous territory as nearly equal in population as practicable," with one Commissioner residing in
each district elected as provided by law. Chapter 124, Florida Statutes, requires districts to be "as nearly
equal in proportion to population as possible" and provides for more frequent redistricting to maintain
population balance but provides that redistricting shall only occur in odd numbered years.
In August 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau released Census 2020 Redistricting Data for Florida and its
counties, pursuant to Public Law 94-171. This data shows the total population for Collier County at
375,752 as of April 1, 2020; therefore, to achieve population equity, each district would have a population
of approximately 75,150 persons.
All Commission districts have experienced population growth since the last redistricting occurred in
2011, when the countywide population as of April 1, 2010 was 321,520; however, the amount of growth
varies significantly among districts. Most notably, District IV, which includes the City of Naples and its
environs to the east, has experienced the least population increase, followed by Districts 11 and I; Districts
III and V have experienced the most. The net result is the need to modify District boundaries to reduce
the population of Districts III and V and to increase the population of Districts 11 and IV; District I could
remain unchanged as some deviation from the ideal/equity population is allowed. (see Table 1, below)

On June 22, 2021, the BCC authorized staff to prepare at least three different maps of proposed district
boundaries, using the below eight criteria.'
Primary criteria:
1. The population of each district should be as similar as possible.
2. All districts should be as compact and regularly shaped as feasible.
3. The incumbent Commissioner's residence (and same for School Board members) must remain
in his or her current district.
I Packet Pg. 89
12/14/2021
4. Consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law.
Secondary criteria:
1. Any plan that has a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength would be eliminated from
further consideration.
2. Well-defined, easily recognizable, and major boundaries, such as rivers, arterials and major roads,
should be utilized when not in conflict with other criteria.
3. Former district boundaries should generally be maintained when not in conflict with other criteria.
4. Communities of interest, such as Golden Gate Estates, and neighborhood integrity should be
preserved when not in conflict with other criteria.
On September 8, 2021, the District School Board of Collier County unanimously agreed to coterminous
district boundaries with the BCC and agreed to provide staff support.'
Five maps were created, rather than the minimum of three, to provide multiple options for consideration.
It is deliberate that the five map alternatives do not vary only slightly from one another, though some
contain similarities. Associated documents have been prepared including: a general description of
boundaries for each of the five maps; total population and voting age population tables by Race and
Hispanic ethnicity; a compactness test for each proposed map by district; a population deviation analysis
for each map; an analysis of each map's compliance with the criteria; and a retrogression analysis for
District 5, which contains, by far, the largest minority population (44.2% Hispanic voting age population).
As shown in the retrogression analysis, the Hispanic (and Black) voting age population increases in all
five map options for District 5.
There is a tension between the map -drawing criteria such that a perfect balance between them likely
cannot be achieved. The attached "Analysis of Five Proposed Maps" provides analysis of each map vis a
vis the eight Board -approved map drawing criteria. It is staff s opinion that all five map options comply
with these redistricting criteria.
The Redistricting project schedule included five public information meetings, one in each District, which
were duly noticed in three languages in two newspapers, and held in the evening in November. Those
meetings were also preceded by two press releases containing the meeting schedule. All five meetings
were televised live and via Facebook Live, and the meetings were recorded and subsequently rebroadcast.
Both Haitian Creole and Spanish language interpreters were at these meetings, provided by the School
District. Additional public outreach included ten public awareness presentations in October, including to
all three city councils and seven civic organizations; a letter sent to the designated representative of the
Seminole Tribe of Florida and Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, respectively; and maintaining a
BCC Redistricting website. (The public outreach and infon-nation meetings are listed under Legal
Considerations.)
The "Redistricting team" is comprised of. School District staff, who assisted in drawing the map
alternatives, attended the five redistricting public information meetings in November to answer questions
that might arise, and provided both Haitian Creole and Spanish language interpreters at the redistricting
public information meetings; staff of the Supervisor of Elections, Honorable Jennifer Edwards, who
provided technical support (but played no role in the actual map drawing task); Johnson Engineering, Inc.,
which was responsible for the robust public outreach plan for this project; Growth Management
Department staff, which included GIS staff that provided Census population data conversion services and
all mapping needs, management staff which provided necessary coordination and oversight, and the
contracted third party vendor that served as the project manager. Additionally, Communications,
I Packet Pg. 90
12/14/2021
Goverm-nent and Public Affairs staff monitored Facebook Live and provided television broadcasting (and
rebroadcasting) services.
The County hired the law firm of Bond Schoeneck & King to provide an independent review and analysis
of the BCC redistricting process - including public notices, legal ad, public outreach efforts, and map
options - concluding with a written report indicating whether the County's redistricting process and map
options are, or are not, in compliance with redistricting criteria. This report is attached.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of publishing the adopted Resolution once a week for two consecutive
weeks in the Naples Daily News, as required by Section 124.02, Florida Statutes; this cost is included in
the current fiscal year budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item has no Growth Management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Background and the Law:
The county commission redistricting process is mandated by Florida Statutes, Chapter 124.01(3), which
provides that "[t]he board of county cormnission shall from time to time, fix the boundaries so as to keep
them as nearly equal in proportion to population as possible. . . [.]" The law further provides that
adjustments to the district boundaries are to only be made in odd -numbered years. The Florida
Constitution, Article VIII, requires Commission Districts to be adjusted following each decennial census
so as to achieve population balance, if Census data reveals a population imbalance exists. Based upon
current Census 2020 population data, the Collier County Commission District populations are currently
disproportionate.
As a result of the uneven growth in Collier County, the Board directed staff on June 22, 202 1, to redraw
the commission districts in order to comply with all lawful requirements. The Board of County
Commissioners specifically approved the following redistricting criteria': (1) the population of each
district should be as similar as possible, (2) all districts should be as compact and regularly shaped as
feasible, (3) the incumbent Commissioner's residence (and same for School Board memberS2) must
remain in his or her current district, (4) consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law,
(5) ensure that any plan that has a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength would be eliminated
from further consideration, (6) utilize well-defined, easily recognizable, and major boundaries, such as
rivers, arterials and major roads, when not in conflict with other criteria, (7) generally maintain former
district boundaries when not in conflict with other criteria, and (8) communities of interest, such as
Golden Gate Estates, and neighborhood integrity should be preserved when not in conflict with other
criteria.
Notwithstanding the Board approved criteria above, staff's five proposed maps must also (and do) comply
with all legally required redistricting requirements (i.e., the Equal Protection Clause, Voting Rights Act of
1965, and United States Supreme Court caselaw).
As a preliminary matter, an explanation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 ("VRA"), 42 U.S.C. §1973 to
1973aa-6 (as amended) as it pertains to the redistricting process is appropriate. Congress enacted the
VRA to combat discrimination that denied opportunities to minorities and to establish oversight of
elections in states with a history of discriminatory voting practices. The two VRA sections critical to a
review of the lawfulness of the redistricting proposals are Sections 2 and 5.
Section 2 of the VRA prohibits denial or abridgement of the right to vote based on race, color or minority
I Packet Pg. 91
12/14/2021
language status including the opportunity to participate in the political process and elect representative of
their choice. Section 2 further forbids creating election districts that improperly dilute minorities' voting
power. Tactics commonly used to dilute minority voting strength include:
1. Cracking - Dividing groups of people with the same or similar characteristics into more
than one district to diminish their ability to elect a desired candidate.
2. Packing - Cramming large groups of people with the same characteristics into the same or
as few districts as possible to dilute their voting strength elsewhere.
In the leading case on this issue, Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986), the United States Supreme
Court established a three-part test that a minority group must satisfy to show that a redistricting plan
causes vote dilution. First, the minority group must establish that it is sufficiently large and
geographically compact to constitute a majority in a single member distriCt.3 Second, the minority group
must show that it is politically cohesive. Lastly, the group must prove that bloc voting by the white
majority usually defeats the minority's preferred candidate.
In addition to those three prerequisites, a minority group contesting a redistricting plan must also show,
under a "totality of the circumstances test," that as a result of the challenged practice or procedure the
group does not have an equal opportunity to participate in the political process and to elect candidates of
its choice.
It should be noted that Collier County is no longer classified as a "covered jurisdiction" under Section 5
of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 42 U.S.C. § 1973c, based upon the 2013 decision Shelby County v.
Holder, 570 U.S. 529 (2013), in which the United States Supreme Court determined that Section 4(b) of
the Voting Rights Act was unconstitutional and could not be used as a basis to subject jurisdictions to
seek preclearance for election changes from federal authorities.
The Process:
As in the 2011 redistricting process, five different map proposal options were created for the public and
the Board to consider. Each map was constructed applying the Board's criteria with one important point
4
of clarification. All five maps were drawn without consideration of race or party affiliation. it was only
after each map was drawn using the Board's criteria that a Section 5 retrogression analysis was done for
each proposal. Section 5 ensures that no voting changes will be made that would decrease the position of
racial minorities with respect to their effective exercise of the right to vote. If a proposed map had proven
to be retrogressive, then it would not have been presented to the public or the Board for consideration.
None of the five proposals proved to be retrogressive.
The first step in the creation of all five proposed maps was to plot the residency of each county
commissioner and school board member on the 2020 Census Block Map for Collier County.
The next step was to build each district by incorporating adjacent census blocks, while generally
respecting the former configuration of the district. This task involved expanding each district beyond its
core census tracts in order to achieve relative population equity, while at the same time creating compact
and contiguous districts with well-defined boundaries that did not split voting blocks or neighborhoods.
That process was repeated for all five districts, on all five proposed maps.
The next, and probably the most critical, step involved checking for possible retrogression of minority
voting strength. This was especially important for District 5, which has the greatest minority population
in Collier County.
None of the map proposals were found to be retrogressive under Section 5 of the VRA because all
I Packet Pg. 92
12/14/2021
resulted in increases in the Hispanic voting age population. Therefore, any of the five redistricting map
proposals, should satisfy Section 5 of the VRA.
Although the Supreme Court has held that Section 2 of the VRA does not require the drawing of a
majority -minority district when a minority group constitutes less than 50% of the district's voting age
population (see Bartlett v. Strickland, 556 U.S. 1(2009), all the map proposals result in an increase of
the Hispanic Voting Age Population.
Going well beyond anything legally required, staff conducted an extensive series of public meetings and
presentations to obtain public input, as follows:
9 City of Marco Island City Council 9 Naples City Council 9 Everglades City Council 9 Collier County
Planning Commission (CCPQ 9 NAACP Collier County 9 Southwest Florida Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce 9 Immokalee Chamber of Commerce 9 Black Affairs Advisory Board 9 Greater Naples
Chamber of Commerce 9 Democratic Women's Club of Collier County
In addition, Five District Meetings were held at the following locations and dates:
District 1: Monday, November 1, 2021, Collier County Government Center Administration Building
(Bldg. F, 3rd Floor) BCC Chambers 3299 E. Tamiami Trail Naples, FL 34112
District 2: Wednesday, November 10, 2021, North Collier Regional Park Exhibit Hall 15000 Livingston
Road Naples, FL 34109
District 3: Tuesday, November 16, 2021, Golden Gate Community Center Auditorium 4701 Golden Gate
Parkway Naples, FL 34116
District 4: Tuesday, November 2, 2021, Growth Management Department Conference Rooms 609/610
2800 N. Horseshoe Drive Naples, FL 34104
District 5: Monday, November 15, 2021, Immokalee Community Park Conference Room 321 N. Ist
Street Immokalee, FL 34142
At each meeting/presentation staff provided information on the following topics: (1) the need for
redistricting; and (2) the general criteria and methodology considered in drawing the five proposed maps.
Written materials were available for or provided to all attendees, and the public was given a full
opportunity to view all five map proposals and ask questions. Additionally, all of the relevant materials
were posted on the County's website and could be printed or viewed by the public at their convenience.
Conclusion:
Because it is difficult for any redistricting plan to accomplish with exactitude every objective, the
favored plan should be judged by its overall balance. The five proposed map options are all lawful and
in compliance with the redistricting criteria approved by the Board and with state and federal
redistricting criteria. All the maps: (1) equalize the population of each district (within a reasonable
deviation), (2) result in compact and regularly shaped districts, (3) incorporate the residence of
incumbent Commissioners and School Board members in their districts; (4) consider racial and ethnic
populations in accordance with the law, (5) ensure that any plan that has a retrogressive effect on
minority voting strength would be eliminated from further consideration, (6) utilize well-defined, easily
recognizable, and major boundaries, such as rivers, arterials and major roads, when not in conflict with
I Packet Pg. 93
12/14/2021
other criteria, (7) generally maintain former district boundaries when not in conflict with other criteria,
and (8) preserve communities of interest, such as Golden Gate Estates, and neighborhood integrity when
not in conflict with other criteria. Furthermore, the maps are lawful under the Voting Rights Act and the
Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Finally, it should be noted that the U.S. Attorney
General and any private citizen with standing can file enforcement actions under both Sections 2 and 5
of the Voting Rights Act.
This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: That the BCC adopt a Resolution with one of the five attached map options
establishing new county commission district boundaries, and to direct staff to legally advertise the new
commission district boundaries at least once each week for two consecutive weeks as required by
Section 124.02, Florida Statutes.

3 Although the redistricting proposals offered are appropriately based on the Voting Age Population garnered by the
2020 Census, courts have held that the more appropriate measure is the eligible minority voter population; that is,
the Citizen Voting -age population. See e.g., Reyes v. City ofFarmers Branch Texas, 586 F.3d 1019 (5' Cir. 2009);

Collier County, FL BCC Redistricting 2021
Analysis of Five Proposed Maps
The Collier County Commission Redistricting mapping criteria below is listed verbatim from the
June 22, 2021 Executive Summary. Bold and italics added for emphasis, re -numbering (from 1-4
and 1-4 to 1-8) is for convenience of reference.
PRIMARY CRITERIA (numbered 1-4 in Executive Summary)
I .
The population of each district should be as similar as possible.
2.
All districts should be as compact and regularly shaped as feasible.
3.
The incumbent Commissioner's residence (and the same for School Board members)
must remain in his or her current district.
4.
Consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law.
SUPPLEMENTAL CRITERIA (also numbered 1-4 in Executive Summary)
A
5.
An plan that has a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength would be eliminated
y
from further consideration.
6.
Well-defined, easily recognizable, and major boundaries, such as rivers, arterials and
N
major roads, should be utilized when not in conflict with other criteria.
N
7.
Former district boundaries should generally be maintained when not in conflict with
Ln
W
Q
other criteria.
54-
8.
Communities of interest, such as Golden Gate Estates, and neighborhood integrity
should be preserved when not in conflict with other criteria.
21
Below is an analysis for each of the five proposed map alternatives with responses correlating to
the above eight criteria.
MAP 1
1. Similar population: The deviation from the ideal population (75,150) is 5.2%, second
lowest deviation of the five maps, behind only Map 4.
2. Compact and regularly shaped: This map is 54% compact, 2nd highest/greatest
compactness of the five maps. District 4 is the most compact and District 5 is the least
compact.
3. Incumbency protection: Yes.
4. Racial & ethnic populations per law: Yes.
5. Retrogression: No retrogression of Hispanic minority in District 5, rather an increase in
both voting age population and total population of Hispanic minority.
6. Well-defined, recognizable, major boundaries: Most boundaries follow major features,
more so than the other 4 maps, and the stair -step between Districts I and 3 is eliminated.
Only one new boundary is not easily recognizable, that being the north boundary of District
3 shared with District 5 extending east from the Collier/Lee County line.
7. Former (existing) district boundaries: Potentially, Districts 1, 2 and 4 could be retained
completely as both Districts 2 and 4 must gain population and District 1 is within the
acceptable population range of deviation. Existing Districts 2 and 4 are maintained
completely while being expanded; District 1 both gains and loses a small area at the
northwest boundary with Districts 3 and 4; District 3 loses the second most land area and
gains the largest land area, out of necessity to lose population and shift eastward; District

BCC Redistricting
2021
5, encompassing by far the largest land area and must lose population out of necessity,
loses the most area but it is a small reduction in size compared to the size of the District.
8. Communities of interest: This map divides Golden Gate Estates east of Collier Blvd.
between Districts 3 and 5; retains the Lely outfall canal as a boundary thus continues to
divide the now developing Isles of Collier Preserve community (Sabal Bay PUD/DRI,
Planned Unit Development/Development of Regional Impact) between Districts I and 4;
and, retains 1-75 and Santa Barbara Blvd. as boundaries thus continues to divide Berkshire
Lakes PUD/DRI between Districts 3 and 4 and now 1 and 4, respectively. This map
eliminates the stair -step near the northwest comer of District I thus no longer divides the
low -density neighborhood along Cope Lane and along Sunset Blvd./Polly Avenue.
MAP 2
I . Similar population: The deviation from the ideal population (75,150) is 9.5%, the greatest
deviation of the five maps.
2. Compact and regularly shaped: This map is 54.7% compact, the highest/greatest
compactness of the five maps. District 4 is the most compact and District 5 is the least
compact.
3. Incumbency protection: Yes.
4. Racial & ethnic populations per law: Yes.
5. Retrogression: No retrogression of Hispanic minority in District 5, rather an increase in
both voting age population and total population of Hispanic minority.
6. Well-defined, recognizable, major boundaries: Most boundaries follow major features and
the stair -step between Districts I and 3 is eliminated. However, two new boundaries are
not easily recognizable: the north boundary of District 3 shared with District 5 extending
east from the Collier/Lee County line; and two portions the east boundary of District 3
shared with District 5 that runs south of Golden Gate Blvd. to 1-75 — the first following a
canal that connects to the Golden Gate main canal, and the second following an imaginary
southerly extension of the Golden Gate main canal and on the east side of White Lake
Industrial Park PUD.
7. Former (existing) district boundaries: Potentially, Districts 1, 2 and 4 could be retained
completely as both Districts 2 and 4 must gain population and District I is within the
acceptable population range of deviation. Existing Districts 2 and 4 are maintained
completely while being expanded; District 1 both gains and loses a small area at the
northwest boundary with Districts 3 and 4; District 3 loses the second most land area and
gains the largest land area, out of necessity to lose population and shift eastward; District
5, encompassing by far the largest land area and must lose population out of necessity,
loses the most area but it is a small reduction in size compared to the size of the District.
8. Communities of interest: This map divides Golden Gate Estates east of Collier Blvd.
between Districts 3 and 5; retains the Lely outfall canal as a boundary thus continues to
divide the now developing Isles of Collier Preserve community (Sabal Bay PUD/DRI)
between Districts I and 4; and retains 1-75 and Santa Barbara Blvd. as boundaries thus
continues to divide Berkshire Lakes PUD/DRI between Districts 3 and 4 and now I and 4,
respectively. This map eliminates the stair -step near the northwest comer of District I thus
no longer divides the low -density neighborhood along Cope Lane and along Sunset
Blvd./Polly Avenue.

MAP 3
1. Similar population: The deviation from the ideal population (75,150) is 7.3%, the second
greatest deviation of the five maps, ahead of only Map 5.
2. Compact and regularly shaped: This map is 46.9% compact, the lowest/least compact of
the five maps. District I is the most compact and District 4 is the least compact.
3. Incumbency protection: Yes.
4. Racial & ethnic populations per law: Yes.
5. Retrogression: No retrogression of Hispanic minority in District 5, rather an increase in
both voting age population and total population of Hispanic minority.
6. Well-defined, recognizable, major boundaries: Most boundaries follow major features.
Nonetheless, there are more boundaries on this map than the other four maps that are less
well defined, less recognizable, and minor. The stair -step remains near the northwest comer
of District 1, now shared with District 4; the boundary between Districts I and 5 in the
A
vicinity of Everglades City follow small canals, creeks and waterways (or Census Blocks
within them) that run mostly east and south of Everglades City, Plantation Island and
N
Chokoloskee; a portion of the boundary between Districts 2 and 3 north of Immokalee
0
N
Road follows minor features - an unnamed canal and a powerline — and another portion
N
follows a zoning district/community boundary rather than major physical features (Quail

Q
West PUD); a portion of the boundary between Districts 2 and 4 south of Pine Ridge Road
and west of 1-75 follows zoning district/community boundaries rather than major physical
features (Marbella Lakes subdivision/Livingston Village PUD); and, a portion of the
boundary between Districts 3 and 5, north of Immokalee Road, extending east from the
north boundary of Heritage Bay PUD/DRI, follows a canal or swale for approximately one
mile.
7. Former (existing) district boundaries: Potentially, Districts 1, 2 and 4 could be retained
completely as both Districts 2 and 4 must gain population and District I is within the
acceptable population range of deviation. Existing District 2 is maintained completely
while being slightly expanded to the east and south. District 4 is maintained except for
about 1 square mile at the NE comer with District 2 and is expanded to the east into District
5. District I is maintained completely while being slightly expanded at the SE comer with
District 5. District 3 retains most of its land area but, out of necessity to lose population
and shift eastward, loses area at the NW comer with District 2 and along the south border
with District I and expands to the east. District 5, encompassing by far the largest land area
and must lose population out of necessity, loses the most area — to Districts 3 and 5 - but it
is a small reduction in size compared to the size of the District.
8. Communities of interest: This map retains the Lely outfall canal as a boundary thus
continues to divide the now developing Isles of Collier Preserve community (Sabal Bay
PUD/DRI) between Districts I and 4; retains the stair -step near the northwest comer of
District I thus continues to divide the low -density neighborhood along Cope Lane and
along Sunset Blvd./Polly Avenue, now between Districts I and 4; and, retains 1-75 as a
boundary thus continues to divide Berkshire Lakes PUD/DRI between Districts 3 and 4,
though less so than the existing map.

However, the stair -step remains near the northwest comer of District 1, now shared with
District 4; a portion of the boundary between Districts 2 and 4 south of Pine Ridge Road
and between 1-75 and Airport -Pulling Road follows zoning district/community boundaries
rather than major physical features (Marbella Lakes subdivision/Livingston Village PUD
and Grey Oaks PUD/DRI); and, a boundary between Districts 3 and 5 south of Immokalee
Road, extending south from the Curry Canal, follows 9th Street SW in Golden Gate Estates
A
until reaching the Golden Gate main canal.
7.
Former (existing) district boundaries: Potentially, Districts 1, 2 and 4 could be retained
N
completely as both Districts 2 and 4 must gain population and District I is within the
0

acceptable population range of deviation. District I is maintained completely — there are
no changes. Existing District 2 is maintained completely while being expanded to the south.

District 3 loses the second most land area, along the south and SW borders, and gains the
largest land area — to the east, out of necessity to lose population and shift eastward. District
4 retains most of its area, losing approximately two square miles at the NE border with
21
District 2 and gains area to the east from District 3. District 5, encompassing by far the
largest land area and must lose population out of necessity, loses the most area — to District
3 - but it is a small reduction in size compared to the size of the District.

Blvd./Polly Avenue, now between Districts I and 4. This map eliminates the division of
Berkshire Lakes PUD/DRI between Districts 3 and 4.

MAP 5
I . Similar population: The deviation from the ideal population (75,150) is 6.6%, the third
greatest and third least deviation of the five maps.
2. Compact and regularly shaped: This map is 50.2% compact, the third highest/greatest
compactness and third lowest/least compactness of the five maps. District I is the most

both voting age population and total population of Hispanic minority.
6. Well-defined, recognizable, major boundaries: Most boundaries follow major features and
the stair -step between Districts I and 3 is eliminated. However, the boundary between
Districts I and 4 follows remote, obscure features (Census Blocks) south and west of
Henderson Creek; a portion of the boundary between Districts 2 and 3 north of Immokalee

7. Former (existing) district boundaries: Potentially, Districts 1, 2 and 4 could be retained
completely as both Districts 2 and 4 must gain population and District I is within the
-6
acceptable population range of deviation. This is the only map that fully retains the existing
boundaries just one District out of a possible three. Existing District 2 is maintained
completely while being expanded to the south. District I maintains most of its area but
A
also loses the second most area - to District 4 to the west and gains the most area by far -
near NW comer from District 3, and to the east from District 5 all the way to the Broward
N
and Miami -Dade County lines. District 3 loses a small area at the NW comer with District
0
N
2 and a larger area along south border with District 1, and gains area to the east with District
N
5, all out of necessity to lose population and shift eastward. District 4 retains most of its
In
W
Q
area, losing approximately two square miles at the NE border with District 2, and gains
area to the east from District 3 and to the SE from District 1. District 5, encompassing by
far the largest land area and must lose population out of necessity, loses the most area -
21
over one half of the District - to the west with Districts I and 3.
8. Communities of interest: This map divides the fewest communities of interest, only one,
as it retains 1-75 as a boundary thus continues to divide Berkshire Lakes PUD/DRI between
Districts 3 and 4 - though less so than the existing map. This map eliminates Lely outfall
canal as a boundary thus no longer divides the now developing Isles of Collier Preserve
community (Sabal Bay PUD/DRI) between Districts I and 4; and eliminates the stair -step
near the northwest comer of District I thus no longer divides the low -density neighborhood
along Cope Lane and along Sunset Blvd./Polly Avenue.

Public Outreach Notification Meetings with Civic and Municipal Groups
Although there is no requirement for public information meetings during the Redistricting process,
Collier County engaged in meetings to inform community members and provide opportunities for
oral and written comments. This includes: (1) Informational meetings with municipal and civic
groups to describe the Redistricting process, and (2) District public meetings (one per District) to
present and gather comments on the proposed boundary changes.
Summaries are provided on the following pages to document the ten outreach meetings conducted
during the month of October 2021 to notify various civic and municipal bodies within Collier County
about the 2021 Redistricting process. For this outreach effort, David Weeks, BCC Redistricting
Project Manager, gave a presentation about the Redistricting process to the following entities:
• City of Marco Island City Council
• Naples City Council
• Everglades City Council
• Collier County Planning Commission (CCPQ
• NAACP Collier County
• Southwest Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
• Immokalee Chamber of Commerce
• Black Affairs Advisory Board
• Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce
• Democratic Women's Club of Collier County (per request)
At each outreach meeting Mr. Weeks gave a PowerPoint presentation overviewing the Redistricting
process (see Appendix for the presentation). He outlined the schedule for five meetings to be held
in each County Commission District in November 2021, where proposed District maps will be
presented for public review and comment. Mr. Weeks also provided two handouts at each meeting
in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole (see Appendix for Fact Sheet and Meeting Date handouts).
Mr. Weeks shared his contact information and the County Redistricting website address, where all
materials and information about the process are available.

Approximately 40 members of the public attended the meeting, but none asked questions
or provided comments. City Council members asked a few questions after the presentation
regarding incumbency, effects on the 2022 election cycle and map adoption schedule. Mr.
Weeks explained that incumbents will remain in their
District because the Board -approved criteria states
the incumbent Commissioner's residence (and same
for School Board members) must remain in his or her
current District. Redistricting efforts do not change
the election cycle and the adopted maps will be in
effect after public notice is in the newspaper;
approximately in late December 2021 or early
January 2022.

Approximately 15 people attended the NAACP Collier County meeting. Members asked a few
questions after the presentation regarding minority -majority Districts and the ideal
population. Mr. Weeks stated that Collier County does not have any Districts with a minority -
majority, although District 5 has experienced Hispanic population growth. It is not ethical or
allowable for the County to create a minority -majority district by packing large groups of
people with the same characteristics into the same or as few districts as possible to dilute
their voting strength. The target for equal population
in each District is 75,150 persons.

Approximately 35 people attended the Immokalee Chamber of Commerce meeting.
Attendees asked a few questions after the presentation regarding the map drawing process
and voting eligibility for the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Mr.
Weeks explained that the current boundary lines are adjusted
to accommodate growth. Based upon the greater population
growth in Districts 3 and 5, the boundaries of both of those
Districts must contract to achieve the target population;
conversely, the boundaries of Districts 2 and 4 must be
enlarged. Additionally, anyone registered to vote in District 5
can vote in District 5, including any Tribal members registered
to vote in District 5

Approximately 5 people attended the Black Affairs Advisory Board meeting. Members asked
several questions after the presentation regarding proposed boundaries and minority
representation. Mr. Weeks said the one proposed map shows District 1 unchanged and
another map keeps all of the existing territory and expands the district slightly. The District 5
boundary will have Me MOSL adJUSL enL because R neeUS LO
contract to achieve the target population. Districts 2 and 4
boundaries will be adjusted/expanded to capture the target
population. Mr. Weeks advised that Hispanics are the largest
minority in Collier County, and the Black community
comprises approximately 10% of Collier County. The 2020
Census had very high responses for individuals with two or
more races which are not counted with single -race or single -
ethnicity groups such as Hispanic only or Black only.

Approximately 15 people attended the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce meeting.
Members asked several questions after the presentation regarding Census data and
population estimates.
Mr. Weeks provided the following explanations to address questions:
• On April 1, 2020 the US Census Bureau stopped collecting data. The first set of data
released included total population and voting age population by race and Hispanic
ethnicity. Group quarters population (example: nursing home and university student
housing population), total housing units and occupancy/vacancy data has been released.
• The future sets of data released will include population by age and gender groups,
detailed household information, education, economic information and other data.
https://www.co I I iercou ntyf I.gov/govern ment/growth-m a nagement/d ivisions/pla n ni ng-a nd-zon i ng-
d ivision/202 1-co I I ier-cou nty-bcc-red istricti ng-i nformation
Page 4
• The Census population count for Collier County is approximately 15,000-17,000 lower
than the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) population data. Although
there is a general view that data is underestimated, the US Census Bureau is not
recognizing a discrepancy of data. Corrections have been made in the past to data, but
no revisions are proposed at this time.
• The Redistricting process is based on current data to support one vote for each person.
Districts cannot exceed a 10% deviation from the ideal or target population within each
District.
• In the past the BCC picked one of the proposed maps and made minor revisions that
were discussed openly during the BCC public meeting.
• The Collier County Redistricting process is not in conjunction with the State and
Congressional process. The State must draw maps closer to the ideal population for
congressional districts, and that process is more likely to have public individuals or groups
proposing maps.
District 5 includes primarily rural lands. At prior public meetings the Commissioners have
requested communities with similar interests, such as Everglades City and Chokoloskee,
stay within District 5 due to their rural nature.

Approximately 30 people attended the City of Naples Council meeting. Council members
asked several questions and made general comments regarding Census data, population
growth, and population decrease in District 4 due to Covid-
related lack of responses. Mr. Weeks stated that although
the public generally views the Census population data as
low, Collier County does not have plans to appeal the data
Jig

County is required to use the data in the Redistricting
process. The City of Naples is proposed to remain in District
4 on all of the proposed maps. Mayor Heitmann requested
that the Clerk update the City calendar to include the five
District public meeting dates.

Board of County Commissioners Meeting Room
Administration Building, County Government Center, Third Floor
3299 Tamiami Trail East
Naples, Florida 34112
Commissioners asked several questions and made comments after Mr. Weeks delivered his
presentation. Questions focused on Golden Gate Estates, proposed population shifts, the
map redrawing process, incumbencies, weight of public input, and the Collier County School
Board involvement. Concern was expressed regarding proposed Map 5 because the District
4 boundary extends south into an unpopulated area, resulting in a questionable amount of
population capture.
Mr. Weeks stated that County Commissioners are
elected by District constituents, but the School
Board members are elected at large. Proximity of
where the current elected officials live to the
current District boundaries makes moving the
District boundaries challenging.
Mr. Weeks described that GIS is a tool that David Weeks presenting at the
allows staff to quickly analyze how District Collier County Planning Commission meeting
boundary adjustments impact population based
on Census block data. Political parties are not relevant in the map drawing process; it is shifts
in population that generate the need to redraw District boundaries.
Mr. Weeks explained that the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) -
approved criteria creates a tension such that not all criteria can be met equally; for example,
the Board requested to not divide Golden Gate Estates, which is assumed to be the Golden
Gate Estates area east of 951 (Collier Boulevard). Proposed Map 4 does split the Urban
Estates area into different Districts. The Board is not limited to select one of the proposed
maps; they can make revisions, which has been done in past Redistricting cycles. The BCC
could request staff completely redraw the maps, but the compressed timeline likely prohibits
that opportunity.
Mr. Weeks explained that the public will have opportunityto attend meetings, viewthe maps
and provide feedback to the Board. The Board does apply weight to public input. For
example, in 2011 there was a map the public clearly did not support, and the Board
immediately dismissed that particular map from consideration.

Tom Eastman, the School Board representative on the Planning Commission, expressed
appreciation for the County efforts and resources applied to this project. The School Board
is part of the proposed map drawing process, will review and ultimately adopt the Board
approved map to maintain coterminous boundaries for School Board member Districts.
Redistricting may result in schools being in a different Board member District, but that does
not affect school zoning.
ix Southwest Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
October 26, 2021 @ 11:00om
Felipe's Taqueria North Naples
2220 Logan Blvd N, Suite 810
Naples, FL 34119
Approximately 10 people attended the Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce meeting. Members asked
questions after the presentation regarding population
trends and the School District boundaries. Mr. Weeks
said District 5 has experienced the greatest increase in
population overall and the greatest increase in the David Weeks presenting at the
Southwest Florida Hispanic
Hispanic population. Additionally, the School Board has Chamber of Commerce meeting
agreed to adopt coterminous boundaries. Mr. Weeks
added that Spanish and Haitian Creole interpreters will be available at the five November
District public meetings.
X Democratic Women's Club of Collier County (per request)
October 28, 2021 @ 7:00pm
Meeting hosted via Zoom
The Democratic Women's Club of Collier County reached out to Mr. Weeks to request a
presentation on the Collier County Commission Redistricting efforts. Approximately 12
people attended the Democratic Women's Club of Collier County meeting. Members asked
questions after the presentation regarding incumbency, document access, criteria and the
Redistricting process.
Mr. Weeks provided the following feedback in response to questions:
Proposed maps and related documents can be found on the County Redistricting
website.

0 Protecting incumbency is a local decision. The Board creates and approves the
criteria considered when drawing District map boundaries. The criteria approved by
the Board has been traditionally used, and other jurisdictions use similar criteria as
well.
There is a tension between the eight criteria because all can not be equally met. Some
of the proposed maps meet the target population more closely, while other proposed
maps are better at keeping communities together. All maps are within the allowable
10% population deviation.
0 Additional Criteria #4 states that communities of interest(Golden Gate Estates is one
example) and neighborhood integrity should be preserved when not in conflict with
other criteria. The Board requested to not
divide Golden Gate Estates, which is assumed
to be the Golden Gate Estates area east of 951
(Collier Boulevard). Three of the proposed
maps split the Golden Gate Estates area that is
east of Collier Boulevard.
Mr. Weeks advised that the public is invited to
attend the November public meetings to be
held in each District to share input on the
process and map preferences.

Redistricting Fact Sheet
IM
Redistricting is the redrawing of congressional and state legislative districts to adjust for uneven growth rates in different
parts of the state. Districts determine which voters participate in which elections. This term also applies to County
Commission Districts and for the same reason - to address population inequity.
The Constitution of the State of Florida [Article VIII, Sectionl.(e)] requires that, after each decennial census, the Board of
County Commissioners (BCQ is to divide the county into districts of contiguous territories as nearly equal in population as
practicable, with one commissioner residing in each district elected as provided by law. Chapter 124, Florida Statutes, also
"3'J
provides for more frequent redistricting to maintain population balance, but provides that redistricting shall only occur in
odd -numbered years.
Collier County Approved Criteria:
(1) the population of each district should be as similar as possible;
(2) all districts should be as compact and regularly shaped as feasible;
(3) the incumbent commissioner's residence (and same for school board members) must remain in his or her
current district; and
(4) consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law.
Collier County Additional Criteria
(1) any plan that has a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength would be eliminated from further consideration;
(2) well-defined, easily recognizable, and major boundaries, such as rivers, arterial and major roadways, should be utilized
when not in conflict with other criteria;
(3) former district boundaries should generally be maintained when not in conflict with other criteria; and
(4) communities of interest, such as Golden Gate Estates, and neighborhood integrity should be preserved when not in
conflict with other criteria.
The Voting Rights Act requires the creation of a district that performs for racial and language minorities where:
(1) a minority population is geographically compact and sufficiently numerous to be a majority in a single district;
(2) the minority population is politically cohesive;
(3) the majority votes sufficiently as a bloc to enable it usually to defeat the minority -preferred candidate; and
(4) under all of the circumstances, the minority population has less opportunity than others to participate in the
political process and elect representatives of its choice.
The Voting Rights Act (VRA) also prohibits purposeful discrimination and protects against retrogression —or backsliding —
in the ability of racial and language minorities to elect representatives of their choice.
Section 2 of the VRA prohibits denial or abridgement of the right to vote based on race, color or minority language status
including the opportunity to participate in the political process and elect representative of their choice. Section 2 further
forbids creating election districts that improperly dilute minorities'voting power. Tactics commonly used to dilute minority
voting strength include:
1. Cracking — Dividing groups of people with the same or similar characteristics into more than one district to
diminish their ability to elect a desired candidate.
2. Packing — Cramming large groups of people with the same characteristics into the same or as few districts as
possible to dilute their voting strength elsewhere.

Hoja informativa sobre el redistritaje
El redistritaje es el rediseho cle los distritos legislativos estatales y del Congreso para ajustar las tasas cle crecimiento clesiguales
en diferentes partes del estado. Los distritos cleterminan qu6 votantes participan en qu6 elecciones. Este t6rmino tambi6n se
aplica a los Distritos cle la Comisi6n del Conclado y por la misma raz6n: para aborclar la clesigualclad cle la poblaci6n.
La Constituci6n del Estado cle Florida [Artfculo VIII, Secci6n 1. (e)] requiere que, despu6s cle cada censo clecenal, la Junta cle
Comisionaclos debe dividir el conclado en distritos cle territorios contiguos, tan casi iguales en poblaci6n como sea posible, con
un Comisionado residienclo en cada distrito elegido seg6n lo dispuesto por la ley. El Capftulo 124, Estatutos cle Florida, tambi6n
establece una redistribuci6n cle distritos m6s frecuente, para mantener el equilibrio cle la poblaci6n, pero establece que la
redistribuci6n cle distritos s6lo ocurrir6 en los ahos impares.
Criterios aprobados para el Condado de Collier:
(1) la poblaci6n cle cada distrito debe ser lo m6s similar posible;
(2) todos los distritos deben ser tan compactos y cle forma regular como sea posible;
(3) la residencia del Comisionado titular (y la misma para los miembros cle la Junta Escolar) debe permanecer en su
distrito actual; y
(4) considerar las poblaciones raciales y knicas cle acuerdo con la ley.
Criterios adicionales del Condado de Collier
(1) cualquier plan que tenga un efecto regresivo sobre la fuerza cle voto cle las minorfas se eliminarfa cle una consideraci6n
adicional;
(2) los Ifmites importantes, bien clefiniclos y f6cilmente reconocibles, como rfos, arterias y carreteras principales, deben utilizarse
cuando no entren en conflicto con otros criterios;
(3) los Ifmites del distrito anterior generalmente deben mantenerse cuando no est6n en conflicto con otros criterios; y
(4) las comuniclacles cle inter6s, como Golden Gate Estates, y la integriclad del vecinclario deben preservarse cuando no est6n
en conflicto con otros criterios.
La Ley de Derechos Electorales requiere la creaci6n cle un distrito que funcione para las minorfas raciales y lingOfsticas donde:
(1) una poblaci6n minoritaria sea geogr6ficamente compacta y suficientemente numerosa para ser mayoria en un s6lo
distrito;
(2) la poblaci6n minoritaria sea politicamente cohesionacla;
(3) la mayorfa vota lo suficientemente en bloque como para permitirle derrotar al candiclato prefericlo por la minorfa; y
(4) en toclas las circunstancias, la poblaci6n minoritaria tiene menos oportuniclacles que otras de participar en el proceso
politico y elegir representantes de su elecci6n.
La Ley de Derechos Electorales (VRA, por sus siglas en ingl6s) tambi6n prohfbe la discriminaci6n intencionada y protege contra el
retroceso —o cleslizamiento— en la capacidad de las minorias raciales y lingbisticas para elegir representantes cle su elecci6n.
La Secci6n 2 de la VRA prohfbe la negaci6n o la limitaci6n del derecho al voto por motivos cle raza, color o idioma minoritario, incluida
la oportuniclad de participar en el proceso politico y elegir al representante cle su elecci6n. La secci6n 2 prohfbe, adem6s, la creaci6n
de distritos electorales que diluyan inclebidamente el poder cle voto cle las minorfas. Las t6cticas com6nmente utilizadas para diluir la
fuerza cle voto de las minorfas incluyen:
1. Agrietamiento: dividir grupos cle personas con las mismas o similares caracterfsticas en m6s de un distrito, para disminuir
su capacidad cle elegir al candiclato cleseado.
2. Empaquetamiento - Agrupar a grandes grupos cle personas con las mismas caracterfsticas en el mismo distrito, o en el
menor n6mero posible cle distritos, para diluir su fuerza cle voto en otros lugares.

Fich Enf6masyon sou Redekoupaj
Redekoupaj se retrasaj kongr6 alk distri lejislatif 1'eta Florid a yo pou ajiste alk pousantaj kwasans ki pa egal nan plizy6 kote
nan eta a. Distri yo det6mine nan ki eleksyon elekt6 yo ap patisipe. Mo sa a aplike pou tout Distri Komisyon Konte yo alk
pou menm rezon an - pou rezoud inegalite popilasyon an.
Konstitisyon Eta Florid la [Atik VIII, Seksyonl.(e)] egzije, apre chak resansman dis an, pou Kons6y Komis6 yo divize konte a
an distri teritwa vwazen ki pr6ske egal nan kantite popilasyon an nan jan sa posib, av6k yon Komis6 ki ap rete nan chak
distri ki eli jan lalwa prevwa sa. Chapit 124 Lwa Florid yo, prevwa tout redekoupaj pi souvan pou kenbe popilasyon an
ekilibre men li prevwa tou ke redekoupaj la dwe f6t s&lman nan ane ki pa p&.
Krit6 Konte Collier Apwouve:
(1) popilasyon chak distri ta dwe simile' nan mezi posib;
(2) tout distri yo ta dwe konpak ak egal nan tout pati li yo nan mezi posib;
(3) reziclans Komis6 ki an fonksyon an (ak menm bagay pou manm Kons6y Lek6l la) dwe rete nan distri akty6l li a;
epi
(4) konsidere ras ak etnisite popilasyon an pou li konf6me ak la lwa.
Krit& Siplemantb Konte Collier
(1) nenp6t plan ki gen yon 06 regresif sou kantite v6t minorite a yo pral elimine pou mank cle konsiderasyon;
(2) limit ki byen defini, ki ka fasil pou rekon6t epi ki gen gwo limit tankou rivy ou gwo wout, ta dwe itilize 16 sa pa deranje
16t krit6 yo;
(3) ansyen limit distri a yo ta dwe jeneralman kontinye 16 yo pa deranje 16t krit6 yo; epi
(4) kominote enter6 tankou Golden Gate Estates ak entegrite katye a ta dwe prez6ve 16 yo pa deranje 16t krit6 yo.
Lwa sou Dwa pou Vote a egzije kreyasyon yon distri ki fonksyone pou minorite rasyal ak lang kote:
(1) yon popilasyon minorit6 konpak sou plan jeyografik epi gen ase moun pou li se yon majorite nan yon s6l distri;
(2) popilasyon minorit6 a gen koyerans sou plan politik;
(3) majorite a vote ase k6m yon bl6k pou p6m6t li jeneralman pote viktwa sou kandida minorite a prefere; epi
(4) nan tout sikonstans yo, popilasyon minorit6 a gen mwens op6tinite pase 16t yo pou patisipe nan pwosesis
politik ak eli reprezantan chwa li yo.
Lwa sou Dwa pou Vote (Voting Rights Act, VRA) a an plis ent6di diskriminasyon entansyon6l alk pwoteje kont regresyon—
oswa rekil—nan kapasite ras alk lang minorit6 a pou I eli reprezantan yo chwazi a.
Seksyon 2 VRA a ent6di refi oswa restriksyon dwa pou vote sou baz ras, kouI6 oswa estati lang minorite a ki gen laclan
op6tinite pou patisipe nan pwosesis politilk la ak eli reprezantan yo chwazi a. Seksyon 2 a entbdi tou kreyasyon distri
elektoral ki pa byen disoud pouvwa v6t minorite yo. Taktik ki souvan itilize pou disoud f6s v6t minorite a gen laclan:
1. Fisire — Divize gwoup moun ki gen menm karakteristik oswa karakteristik ki sanble pou tounen plis pase yon
distri pou diminiye kapasite yo pou eli yon kandida yo swete.
2. Antase — Konclanse gwo gwoup moun ki gen menm karakteristik pou tounen menm oswa pou tounen ap6n
k6k distri nan mezi posib pou disoud f6s vbt yo l6t kote.

November 2021 District Meeting Comments
Public Meetings Comments
Below are comments, concerns and questions expressed at the five public meetings held in
November 2021 (1 st, 2nd, 1 Oth, 15th, and 16th), one in each Commission District. Facebook Live
comments posted through November 23d are also included. The list of comments, concerns and
questions is in no particular order.
In -person Comments:
0 Proposed Map 4 is preferred because most of East Naples is in one district.
A Commissioner from East Naples is needed instead of a representative from Marco or
City of Naples to represent District 1.
All of East Naples (area east of the Gordon River, north of Marco River, west of the
preserved lands, and south of the Golden Gate Canal or 1-75) should be in a single district.
Marco is a concern for south Naples. Golden Gate Estates will all be state owned and is
not worthy of being a protected community. East Naples should be a protected community.
East Naples Civic Association sent a letter to David Weeks and the Board of County
Commissioners dated November 1, 2021 (attached) expressing concern with all maps.
Community identity and people should decide School Board and County Commission
districts. Streets and avenues should not drive the division of communities. Golden Gate
Estates of 951 should be in the same district based on community identity and not
considered a community of interest based on zoning alone. East Naples has been chipped
away historically. Maps 2 and 4 show very little shifting. District 2 has the least amount of
change. District I should be left the same.
It has hurt Bayshore to be included in the same District as the City of Naples. Bayshore
identifies as East Naples and should be in District 1 rather than included with the City of
Naples. East Naples is divided in the proposed maps. When Bayshore was included in
District I in 2012 everyone worked hard to improve the area. After improvements were
made, Bayshore was given to the same district as the City of Naples and that is a slap in
the face.
• What happens with the tremendous growth in District I? Is that growth included in the
proposed maps? East Naples and Bayshore should be in the same district.
• Do Commissioners get to consider the margin of deviation while selecting a final map?
East Naples has an identity that does not include the City of Naples.
• There is only a 5% above/below deviation being provided, not a 10% above/below
deviation.
• Will the adopted map apply to the school district as well?
November 23, 2021 Page 1 of 3
How is the voting age population used? Is it used for total population in each district? Do
you take into consideration the non -voting age children and where kids go to school, or is
that left for the School Board to decide?
Do you only provide Commissioners the five maps to make a decision? Does Collier
County staff have a map preference? Does the public get to provide input only at the final
hearing?
• Whatever happens with these maps applies to the school districts as well?
• Maintaining the continuity of communities is one of the criteria, but the proposed maps
divide Golden Gate Estates to the east.
• Where do we go from here? In 2001 the maps were changed in Tallahassee while under
review, so how much control does local government have in this redistricting process?
• How does this effort relate to congressional and state maps? A single district must fit in a
congressional boundary, correct? If so, how is that done?
• Is this meeting being recorded so we can watch it later? We are staying with five districts
only, no new districts? The proposed maps just adjust land mass in each district?
• Are citizen -drawn maps being considered?
• Is there a consensus for a preferred map?
Why is Berkshire Village in a different district than Berkshire Lakes? Berkshire Village
only has 500 people, and is so close to Berkshire Lakes, but they are in different districts.
Map 4 is the only map that does not separate Berkshire Village and Berkshire Lakes. The
two communities are similar and should be in the same District.
Out of all the criteria, is priority given to some criteria, or are all the criteria applied
equally?
Facebook Live Comments:
• Will Congressional Seat 19 be addressed? Will commissioners follow their district, or will
they be reseated?
• District 5 is the poorest district and has grown so rapidly... what are the plans for road and
infrastructure before redistricting ? Bus stops, road widening has been promised for
years... what will be done? Does money within a district stay within a district for
infrastructure ? Yes or No? This is of the utmost importance to understand. What about the
money for each district. So will this change monies going into a district? Money should all
be factored in. District 5 has less money too.
• D5 pays more taxes ... we do not have city water, lights on the streets, enough roads to get
out of the estates, etc ... unbelievable!
9 Does it make the most sense for Everglades City to be in District I?
November 23, 2021 Page 2 of 3
• How will the proposed maps be chosen and by whom?
• We the people want you to support maps 3 and 5!!
• Gerrymandering
• Can additional districts be created?
Do all of these maps put ggblvd [sic] east of Collier to Wilson in district 3? Looks that way
to me and that is nonsense. This could have been done differently. Well in map 1 I'm
represented by someone who doesn't support freedom. Can I please stay in 5? Map 4 is
awful. The estates will never be the same after this. Brutal. Map 2 I'm in the same new
district with someone who doesn't support freedom. 3 and 5 are my favorites. Map 3 seems
to be ok. Can't tell if I'd still be in 5 or not.
• Do we have a vote? Does BCC vote?
• Looks like there [sic] just trying to move population to district 3 because of census.
• Wonderful presentation!
• From what I understand from this, map 3 is what I support
• We want you to support Maps 3 and 5! I'll be writing and calling all our county
Commissioners to voice this.
With so many exceptions that have been made due to COVID ... why aren't there any
exceptions for redistricting? This is such a short period of time to make such a significant
decision.
Leave the Estates alone! You want to take some for the other districts. Take the gated
communities and subdivisions.
9 Yes, follow the schools.
When will the redistricting decision be made? Is there one that is currently favored over
another?
Why weren't the residents of Golden Gate Estates notified by mail? Has the Collier county
[sic] homeowners received any written information on this remapping? Also if Golden
Gate Estates was remapped with some of the most changes why weren't they notified by
mail?
9 Glad we can watch this on FB

#iENCA
East Naples Civic Association
November 1, 2021
David Weeks, AICP
BCC Redistricting Project Manager
2800 North Horseshoe Drive
Mr. Weeks,
After careful review of the redistricting maps proposed by staff, the East Naples
Civic Association stands in objection to all five map designs. On behalf of our
members and the community we represent, as one of Collier County's oldest
civic organizations, we firmly believe that the erosion of community identity is
rampant in the presented maps and the lack of diverse options for district
parameters are deeply concerning.
Throughout our modern history, East Naples, the largest and oldest community in
Collier County- outlived only by our municipalities and Immokalee, has been
continuously shaped and split among as many commission districts as possible.
The proposed maps continue this trend. Maps 1 and 2 even go as far as to
remove major communities such as Kings Lake and Lakewood. Map 5
removes Isles of Collier, Treviso Bay and communities along the East Trail which
would dilute the socio-economic status of District 1. Maps 3 and 4 divide
communities along County Barn and Santa Barbara south of Davis Blvd, which
have a mix of both new developments and communities with a strong sense of
community with those neighboring them.
It is inconceivable that of the proposed maps, none look at the option to move
District 4 north, along nearby coastal neighborhoods with more relevance, like
businesses, and a similar demographic among voters and would keep a more
contiguous and compact shape to the district. The same goes for District 2 with
neighborhoods along 75 and Immokalee Road sharing more identity with North
Naples up to Logan Blvd rather than identifying with some map options to
include those communities in District 3 with the Golden Gate Estates along
Wilson and even White Blvd - a perplexing trend which seems to mix and
undermine rural voices in the estates within a district that encompasses luxury
golf communities along Vanderbilt and Immokalee Roads.
OiENCA
East Naples Civic Association
Currently in District I you have Lakewood, Kings Lake and communities along
Davis down County Barn, Santa Barbara and 951 to Rattlesnake, Lely Resort,
and the dozens of communities along the East Trail from various mobile home
communities to newer developments like Isles of Collier and Treviso Bay which
lead the district down to the Isles of Capri, Marco Island, Port of the Islands and
Copeland. This mixture includes similar single family and golf communities,
retirement and manufactured home communities, and our county's southern
base of island and inlet communities -which are part of our historic fabric.
District 4 includes sections of East Naples like Bayshore, the Triangle, and
communities along Radio Road - all of which stand in odd comparison to
towering condo communities and larger single-family homes that the City of
Naples has.
Further splitting neighborhoods with similar community identity and history only
damages peoples' connections with their elected officials and local
government. Residents in similar neighborhoods with similar homes and
geography utilize similar commutes for work, services and entertainment, sharing
similar views for growth and our environment - often the two top issues among
residents outside broader national issues. It wouldn't be a stretch to assume that
residents in Kings Lake and Lakewood use Davis to get to work and for services
and would have similar opinions on landscaping, traffic and redevelopment. It
makes little sense to remove these communities and include them with residents
in the City of Naples - who probably do not have similar road, traffic,
landscaping and redevelopment concerns, as many rather travel within the City
or would rarely head east for work commutes, services etc.
We ask that the board reject these proposals and instead ask staff to draft maps
in relationship to neighborhood and community identity.
Respectfully,
Jacob Winge
President
East Naples Civic Association

Hi Jacob,
Urn, no maps attached. But more importantly, I respectfully submit that when Tom Eastman suggested you could draw
your own map if displeased with the 5 map options, it was implied that this included applying the criteria. If someone
chooses to propose a map(s), they need to assume responsibility to apply all eight of the BCC -approved criteria, not rely
on Collier County taxpayers to pay for that exercise. As to population, attached is the 2020 Census Block map and Block
level TOTAL population to use in drawing the map(s), and the VOTING AGE POP (18 and over) needed to conduct the
retrogression analysis, and the Tract map that may be useful. The allowed deviation of 5% below to 5% above (10% from
lowest to highest) is 71,393 and 78,907. Also, though I've never attempted to use it, I am under the impression that
districtbuilder.org is a free and useful tool.

Thank you David for clarification. I will check out the website. I know in the past when the state had done redistricting
they had a program for people to submit maps and it was easy to use. That may be something the county should look
into for the future.

Thanks David,
A quick glance says that district 3 is above ideal population and district 4 is below it. We have 502 doors in our
community so that could help with that problem if we did get moved to 4.
I have never paid a lot of attention to this process before so it will be interesting to see how it is done and how close you
can get each district to ideal.
Thank you very much.

Mr. Hyatt,
Thank you for your communication.
You are correct that there are several considerations when drawing new County Commission District maps; the Board of
County Commissioners approved eight criteria, and the new map must comply with the Voting Rights Act.
We do not yet have the Census population data in usable format. Once we do, we will determine the population of each
District which will reveal which Districts need to increase or decrease in population. It is anticipated that the boundaries
of all five Districts will need to be modified. The criteria drive the map drawing process. Per BCC direction, a minimum of
three map alternatives will be drawn.
Public Input Meetings will be held in November, one in each Commission District. A BCC Redistricting webpage will soon
be available on the County's website: www.colliercountyfl.gov.

Good Morning Mr. Weeks,
I have been in contact with Jennifer Edwards regarding the redistricting for a while. She had commented that you had
done it historically but you were now retired, but it appears you have come back to help with this process. Thanks for
helping the county out with this matter.
I am contacting you as the President of the Berkshire Village Master Association. I don't know if you are familiar with our
community but we are located on a sliver of land North of 1-75, South of Golden Gate Main Canal and west of Santa
Barbara Boulevard. The current district boundary separates at 1-75 and has us tied into the area to our north which is
mostly Golden Gate Estates Lots as well as Golden Gate City. The nature of our community, with an association, private
roads, a designed water management system and County water and sewer would seemingly making us more similar to
the communities to our south and west such as Berkshire Lakes, Countryside, Glen Eagle, Briarwood etc.. With this
thought in mind I wanted to understand the process of redistricting to know what the most effective way I can
communicate the desire of our community to get tied to more similar communities. I do understand there will be public
meetings and I intend to attend those to express this interest so it is at least understood to be the desire of the
community.
I do realize that redistricting is a complicated matter driven by all sorts of factors that are greater than a specific
communities desire to be districted with similar communities. They say the longest journey begins with a single step so I
figured the first step would be to at least someone know that the Berkshire Village has this interest.
Any wisdom you can lend in our communities desire to be tied to similar communities would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Thank You,

Subject: RE: Map
Commissioner and Jacob,
For tomorrow's Zoom meeting, I think a map is both helpful and necessary, so I've created two crude ones. Below is an
excerpt from the 2020 Census Block Map (we must follow Census boundaries) and the Property Appraiser's 2021 GIS
aerial. Yellow highlighting reflects the existing boundary between Districts I and 4 which is the same boundary proposed
on Map 4 (Map 4 is the only proposed map that makes NO changes to District 1). The blue squiggly line reflects what I
believe is ENCA proposed boundary adjustment. [Jacob: From our discussion last week, the only area of uncertainty is
where the boundary turns west from Hamilton Ave. There are two choices, Gulf Star Drive and Danford Street; the
former does not divide a neighborhood and the latter does so I chose the former.]
Description of boundaries, beginning at US-41/1-ely Outfall Canal intersection (circled): follow US-41 northwesterly to
Thomasson Drive; follow Thomasson Drive westerly to Hamilton Avenue; follow Hamilton Avenue southerly to Gulf
Star Drive; follow Gulf Star Drive westerly to Naples City limit; follow Naples City limit southerly until it turns and runs
west.

Commissioner,
Please see attached. I had the exact population numbers, but the program I used could not save them when I
downloaded the file. However, even the addition of Everglades City would still be enough as to keep District 1 within all
the parameters established by the board. This is a very slight change being proposed to Map 4 - very similar in status to
10 years ago.
I look forward to answering any questions and having greater discussion next week.
Have a great weekend!
Jacob

Thanks, looking forward to seeing the suggestions. One thing however all have to remember is you're not the only
organization that is encouraging certain options. Everglades City has come online very strong that a majority of people
there would like to be in District I... and they've made their suggestion strongly known. So obviously the maps that pull
them into District 1 are extremely favorable to their wishes.
We've got a few other communities who are also giving suggestions that David will have to consider. As he said you
squeeze one side of the balloon and the other end expands.
Obviously we all agree we want to keep District 1 intact or if we expand it that the expansion makes sense... Notthe
other way around. Looking forward to seeing your details.

Thank you Commissioner for getting back to me so quickly. I will get you the map and our letter detailing it this
morning. It is a very small change to map 4 and by my analysis it meets all the standards as it only moves a small shift of
population.
David and I had discussion about ENCA proposing a map. The board did direct staff to propose at least 3, so because
staff has done that they can't use taxpayer funds to vet a public map..
However as Mr. French stated last night, 10 years ago no board map was adopted. Commissioner Coletta made a
motion to amend a map, very slightly and during lunch recess staff had time to double check math. That proposal was
actually a lot closer on numbers than ours is.
I am 110% confident our map, if proposed to be considered by yourself or another member would pass all
considerations and criteria with ease.
Thank you again foe your attention to this matter. Maps I and 5 are absolutely devastating for East Naples and we will
be advocating against those two in addition to our support of our small amendment to Map 4.
Best,
Jacob

Board of County Commissioners - District I
Commissioner,
Following the Public Information Meetings our Association has heard the
feedback from citizens attending those meetings as well as communication with
our membership, area HOAs and other civic groups. Additionally, the East
Naples Civic Association attended meetings and provided comment. We also
sent a letter to staff and community stakeholders on November 1 st. Staff
suggested for ENCA to submit a map of our own - however the technology to
generate a new map is not available to the public in great detail.
With that said, the East Naples Civic Association is recommending an
amended Map 4 - with the northern border extended from Rattlesnake to
include all areas south of Thomasson. This map keeps District 1 intact and unites
the Isles of Collier Community and also brings communities along Davis and
Radio fully into District 4, making the Berkshire Community whole and no longer
divided between Districts 3 and 4. We are also opposed to Maps 1 and 5 which
would fracture East Naples communities and further split our voice.
We accept that with growth that the community of East Naples must be
split but, in that notion, we believe that two Commission Districts should
represent our historic community and that neighborhoods in those districts be
wholly represented. District I should encompass Isles of Collier and District 4
should include the PUD of Berkshire. This amendment to Map 4 respects
population, incumbency, retrogression, and compactness.
Attached is a rendering of Districts 1 and 4 showing the amended districts
to be included in Map 4 for your consideration. We ask for your support.
Respectfully,
Jacob Winge

2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
Background
Pursuant to Article VI I I, §1(e) of the Florida Constitution, after completion of the 2020 United
States Census, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (the "BCC"), is required to
divide Collier County into five districts of "contiguous territory as nearly equal in population as
practicable." Florida Statute §124.01(3) allows changes to the districts "only in odd -numbered
years." Due to population increases since 2010, the BCC must adopt new district boundaries in
2021, or wait until 2023 to do so.
To meet the 2021 adoption deadline, on June 22, 2021, the BCC resolved to adopt a new
redistricting map at a public hearing to be held on December 14, 2021. Unlike the adoption
process in 2011, the BCCs redistricting map is no longer subject to administrative preclearance
by the United States Department of Justice (the "DOY1.1
The BCC directed the Growth Management Department ("�taff"), to draw a minimum of three
alternative redistricting maps using the 2020 United States Census Bureau data and established
four primary redistricting criteria for Staff to follow. These criteria are intended to assure
compliance with: (i) the Florida Constitution, (ii) Florida law, (iii) the U.S. Constitution, and (iv)
federal law. The BCC's four primary redistricting criteria are:
2021 BCC Primary Redistricting Criteria
1. The population of each district should be as similar as possible.
2. All districts should be as compact and regularly shaped as feasible.
3. The residence of each incumbent BCC Commissioner, and of each
incumbent member of the Board (the "School Board") of the Collier County
School District (the "School District"), must remain in that incumbent's
current district.
4. Consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law.
Additionally, the BCC adopted the following four supplemental criteria:
'After the BCC 2011 redistricting, §4(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 79 Stat. 437, as amended, 52 U.S.C.
§10301 et seq. (the "Voting Rights Act" or NRA"), was held unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in
Shelby County v. Holder, 570 U.S. 529, 133 S.Ct. 2612 (2013). The effect of the Shelby County decision is that Collier
County no longer needs DCJ preclearance for new voting changes, like redistricting.
13266837
2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
(1) Any plan that has a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength will be eliminated
from further consideration.
(2) Well-defined, easily recognizable, and major boundaries, such as river, arterials, and
major roads should be utilized when not in conflict with other criteria.
(3) Former district boundaries should generally be maintained when not in conflict with
other criteria.
(4) Communities of interest, such as Golden Gate Estates, and neighborhood integrity
should be preserved when not in conflict with other criteria.
On September 8, 2021, the School Board agreed to draw coterminous School District
boundaries with the final BCC district boundaries and offered School Board staff support at BCC
redistricting public meetings.
The BCC further directed Staff to solicit public comment on the proposed maps at a series of
public district information meetings conducted in November of 2021.
Ill. Purpose of this Review
At the BCC's direction, Staff engaged the law firm of Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC ("Bond"), to
conduct an independent review of the 2021 redistricting process. Staff selected Bond based on
Bond's August 5, 2021 proposal, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "A". Bond performed a
similar independent review of Collier County's redistricting process in 20 11.2
BCC and Staff obtained Bond's independent review as an additional measure to support
redistricting process compliance with federal and state constitutional and statutory
requirements. As specified in its proposal, Bond was retained to:
Service #1 Review applicable state andfederal law regarding redistricting.
Addressed in Article IV of this report (Compliance with the County Commissioner's
Redistricting Criteria)
Service #2 Review US Census Bureau Data., using GIS mapping techniques, to ensure
accuracy of map options and compliance with applicable law.
Addressed in Article V of this report (Verification of Data)

111111. Statement Regarding Bond's Involvement
Bond's role in the 2021 redistricting process has been to serve as an independent third party.
On September 27, 2021, Bond Members Kevin V. Recchia and Adam C. Kerlek participated in a
Zoom video conference meeting with David Weeks (Staff's Redistricting Project Manager) and
Michael Bosi (Collier County Planning Director). During this meeting, Staff advised Bond that
Staff decided to draw five alternative redistricting maps, which decision is consistent with the
BCC's directive to draw at least three such maps. Staff also advised Bond of the redistricting
timeline and the forthcoming publication of notice of public meetings. Bond and Staff then
discussed permissible considerations under federal and state law (including the Voting Rights
Act) when drawing the five alternative maps. As with the 2011 redistricting process, the
persons in attendance confirmed that Bond would not participate in the drawing of the five
alternative maps. Rather, Bond would conduct an independent evaluation of the alternative
maps and determine whether each map fully complies with applicable law.
Bond attended the District 5 public information meeting held on November 15, 2021. Bond
intentionally did not answer questions, but monitored the presentation made by David Weeks,
as well as answers provided by Mr. Weeks and Tom Eastman (the School District's Director,
Real Property Law & Construction Contracts) to the public's questions.
Bond communicated primarily with David Weeks. Mr. Weeks forwarded to Bond all relevant e-
mails received by him, as well as any other pertinent correspondence between Staff and the
public.
13266837
2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
Bond also communicated with the Chief Deputy Supervisor of the Collier Supervisor of Elections
Office ("Elections Office"), Melissa Blazier. The Elections Office had no role in drawing the maps
but provided technical support.
IV. Compliance with the County Commissioner's Primary Redistricting Criteria
The BCC and Staff instructed Bond to determine whether each alternative map complies with
the BCC's four primary redistricting criteria.
A. Primary Criterion #1 (Equal Population)
The population of each district should be as similar as possible.
The Florida Constitution and Florida statutes, require the BCC to adopt a redistricting map
having contiguous districts "as nearly equal in population as practicable", and that the
boundaries thereof be adopted in odd numbered years.'
The United States Supreme Court has interpreted Article 1, § 2 of the U.S. Constitution as
requiring congressional districts be drawn with equal populations,' and has applied the "one
person, one vote rule" to legislative apportionment at the local level.' While congressional
districts must be drawn with near perfect equality,' the United States Supreme Court has
recognized that some deviation for prefect population equality is permitted when drawing state
and local legislative districts. Thus, when the maximum population deviation between the
largest and the smallest district is less than ten percent (10%), "a state or local legislative map
presumptively complies with the one -person, one -vote rule."'
The five districts must be drawn using the total population from the 2020 United States Census
8
Bureau data, and not voting age, citizen, or registered voter count.
Based on 2020 United States Census Bureau data, Collier County's ideal or target population for
each of the five districts is 75,150 persons. Premised on the permissible maximum deviation of
I Florida Constitution, Article V111, §1(e) and Florida Statutes, Chapter 124.
4 Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 191-192, 82 S.Ct. 691 (1962); Wesberry v. Sanders, 376 U.S. 1, 7-8, 84 S.Ct. 526
(1964).
s Avery v. Midland County, 390 U.S. 474, 485-486, 88 S.Ct. 1114 (1968).
6 Kirkpatrick v. Preisler, 394 U.S. 526, 530-531, 89 S.Ct. 1225 (1969),
7 Evenwel v. Abbott, 578 U.S. 54, 136, S.Ct. 1120, 1124 (2016), citing Brown v. Thomson, 462 U.S. 835, 842-843
(1983).
8 Accord, Id. In Opinion 2001-55, the Florida Attorney General concluded that population figures from the last
decennial census are to be used when Florida counties reconfigure county commission districts into districts with
populations as nearly equal as possible. Citing Gaffney v. Cummings, 412 U.S. 735, 93 S.Ct. 2321 (1973), the Florida
Attorney General opined that voting status figures, as compared to overall population figures, are "not a
qualification under the constitution and statutes for inclusion in the population for purposes of the census or for
drawing county commission districts."

2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
10% between district populations, (or plus/minus five percent (5%) from 75,150), each
proposed district should have a total population between 71,393 and 78,908.
While each of the five districts in Collier County has experienced significant population growth
since 2011, the growth has been unequal. The following data shows the current population of
each district as currently configured, and the adjustments needed to achieve the ideal or target

BCC PRIMARY CRITERION #1 CONCLUSION: Bond has reviewed the population data under
each of the five alternative maps and concludes that all five maps meet BCC Primary Criterion
#1. Please see the summary of Bond's population deviation analysis attached as Exhibit "B".
Alternative Map 1 COMPLIES - maximum deviation is 5.2% < 10%
Alternative Map 2
COMPLIES -
maximum deviation is 9.5% < 10%
Alternative Map 3
COMPLIES -
maximum deviation is 7.3% < 10%
Alternative Map 4
COMPLIES -
maximum deviation is 3.4% < 10%
Alternative Map 5
COMPLIES -
maximum deviation is 6.6% < 10%
B. Primary Criterion #2 (Compact and Regularly Shaped)
All districts should be as compact and regularly shaped as feasible.
The Florida Constitution expressly requires the BCC to adopt districts that are geographically
"contiguous."' Contiguous districts may be connected by land or water, but there may not be
any pockets of one district contained within another district. While BCC Criterion #2 uses the
words "compact" and "regularly shaped", rather than "contiguous", districts that are compact
and regularly shaped are inherently contiguous.
Federal courts recognize "compactness" or "regular shape" as a traditional redistricting
principle, but the courts have not established a general standard by which to measure
' Florida Constitution, Article VI I I, §1(e).
13266837
2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
compactness. Instead, courts apply an intuitive "eyeball" test - does a district look reasonably
compact, and is it similar in shape to other districts drawn? The United States Supreme Court
has held that districts violate compactness if they are "dramatically irregular" or "bizarre" but
has also held that the U.S. Constitution does not mandate regularity of shape.10
BCC PRIMARY CRITERION #2 CONCLUSION: Bond has reviewed the contiguousness,
compactness, and general shape of the districts under each of the five alternative maps and
concludes that all five maps meet BCC Primary Criterion #2.
C. Primary Criterion #3 (incumbents)
The residence of each incumbent BCC Commissioner, and of each incumbent School
Board member, must remain in that incumbent"s current district.
The incumbency criterion is recognized by the courts as a traditional redistricting principle
under the theory that maintaining an incumbent in the incumbent's district recognizes the will
of the voters who elected the incumbent."
BCC PRIMARY CRITERION #3 CONCLUSION: Bond has reviewed the residential addresses of the
Commissioners and School Board Members under each of the five alternative maps and
concludes that all five maps meet BCC Primary Criterion #3.
D. Primary Criterion #4 (Racial/Ethnic Considerations)
Consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law.
Under the Voting Rights Act and the U.S. Constitution, it is permissible to consider racial/ethnic
population while redistricting, but only in specific circumstances as explained below. Because of
Collier County's significant Hispanic population in District 5, the BCC should be especially alert
to the requirements of the Voting Rights Act and the 14 th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
when considering how each alternative map affects the Hispanic population in District 5.11
Show v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630, 113 S.Ct. 2816 (1993).

Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
1. Voting Rights Act of 1965
Initially, we note the change in law since the BCC's 2011 redistricting exercise. In 2011, the DOJ
had preclearance review authority over the BCCs proposed district map under VRA §§ 4 and 5.
Moreover, the BCC had the burden to establish to the DOJ that the voting change caused by the
proposed map had neither a discriminatory effect nor purpose prior to implementation.
The United States Supreme Court's Shelby County decision changed the landscape. Gone is the
condition of DOJ preclearance under VRA §§ 4 and 5, and the lesser -used judicial review
process." Today, VRA § 2's prohibition against voting practices resulting "in a denial or
abridgment of the right of any citizen ... to vote on account of race or color, or language
minority statu S1114 is the touchstone for challenges to voting changes. A person claiming that a
redistricting map violates the provisions of VRA § 2 must file a lawsuit and bears the burden of
proof.
a. VRA Section 2 (Minority Dilution)
The current version of VRA § 2 provides:
(a) No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting or standard, practice, or
procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision in a
manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the
United States to vote on account of race or color, or in contravention of the
guarantees set forth in section 10303(f)(2) of this title [language minority group],
as provided in subsection (b).
"(b) A violation of subsection (a) is established if, based on the totality of
circumstances, it is shown that the political processes leading to nomination or
election in the State or political subdivision are not equally open to participation
by members of a class of citizens protected by subsection (a) in that its members
have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the
political process and to elect representatives of their choice. The extent to which
members of a protected class have been elected to office in the State or political
subdivision is one circumstance which may be considered: Provided, That
nothing in this section establishes a right to have members of a protected class
elected in numbers equal to their proportion in the population.""
13 The Shelby County Court held that VRA §4 was unconstitutional. The Court refused to rule on VRA § 5 itself.
However, since VRA § 5 only applied to the jurisdictions listed in (the now unconstitutional) VRA § 4, the Court's
decision effectively rendered VRA § 5 impotent.
14 VRA § 2 [52 U.S. Code § 10301(a)] ("race and color"); [52 U.S.C. §10303(f)] (member of a "language minority
group"); see also Fla. Const., Art. III, §§ 20(a) and 21(a) (congressional and legislative districts "shall not be drawn
with the intent or result of denying or abridging the equal opportunity of racial or language minorities to
participate in the political process or to diminish their ability to elect representatives of their choice.")

2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
Importantly, a plaintiff under VRA § 2 is not required to prove discriminatory purpose or intent
behind a proposed change in voting laws. Congress amended VRA § 2 in 1982 to repudiate the
notion that facially neutral voting practices violate VRA § 2 only if motivated by a discriminatory
16
purpose. Thus, borrowing nearly wholesale, language from a United States Supreme Court
decision," Congress added subsection (b) to VRA § 2, which serves as the standard for vote -
dilution claims. As Collier County has a significant Hispanic minority population, the BCC must
consider whether the five alternative redistricting maps meet VRA § 2's requirements.
VRA § 2 prohibits the dilution of minority voting strength. Historically, dilution of minority
voting strength generally takes on one of two forms. "Packing" describes drawing district maps
so that minority voters are compressed into a small number of districts, when they could
effectively control more. Alternatively, "cracking" refers to thinly spreading minority voters into
many districts where they are the numerical minority." There is no precise number that
designates the threshold of either "packing" or "cracking", and each district map must be
judged on a case -by -case basis.19
In Collier County, only District 5 could be subject to a potential VRA § 2 claim since it is the only
district close to having a minority (i.e., Hispanic) citizen voting age population greater than
20
50%.
21
In Thomburg v. Gingles, the United States Supreme Court set out three conditions a person
must prove to support a minority dilution claim. Based on the Gingles opinion, a Collier County
plaintiff alleging minority dilution would need to prove that:
(1) the minority citizen voting age population is large enough and compact enough to
draw a district (or districts) as a majority -minority distri Ct. 22
(2) the minority population in Collier County is politically cohesive; that is, it usually
votes and acts politically in concert on major issues and/or votes for the same
candidates; and
16 Congress acted to nullify the holding in Mobile v. Bolden, 446 U.S. 55, 100 S. Ct. 1490 (1980).
17 White v. Regester, 412 U.S. 755, 766, 93 S.Ct. 2332 (1973).
11 An example of packing is when mapmakers draw one district that is over 90% of a single minority group, when
they could draw at least two districts with nearly 50% single minority group representation. An example of
cracking is when a minority population can be placed within one district comprising 70% of the total voting age
population, but three districts are created each having a 40% minority voting age population.
" Gill v. Whitford, 585 U.S. _, 138 S.Ct. 1916 (2018); Alabama Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama, 575 U.S. 254,
135 S.Ct. 1257, 1265, (2015).
" Bartlett v. Strickland, 556 U.S. 1, 129 S.Ct. 1231, 1245 (2009). A party asserting VRA § 2 liability must show by a
preponderance ofthe evidence that "minorities make up more than 50 percent ofthe voting -age population in the
relevant geographic area".
11 Thornburg v. Gingles, 470 U.S. 30, (1986).
22 The term "majority -minority district" means a district where a majority of the voting age population is a racial or
language minority group.

2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
(3) there is "polarized voting" such that the majority non -minority group in Collier
County usually votes to defeat candidates preferred by minority group voters.
With respect to Gingles condition (1), a plaintiff would have to prove that the adopted map was
drawn in a manner rendering the Hispanic population a minority in District 5, and that the map
may be re -drawn to encompass a compact Hispanic population in a majority -minority district.
While the BCC is permitted in limited circumstances to explicitly consider race when redrawing
district lines, race cannot predominate in the redistricting process to the subordination of
23
traditional, non -race -based factors.
With respect to Gingles condition (2), according to Elections Office records, 35.2% of Collier
County's Hispanic registered voters are affiliated with the Democratic party and 30.1% are
affiliated with the Republican party. These figures indicate that the Collier County Hispanic
population does not necessarily vote cohesively.
Finally, with respect to Gingles condition (3), the five alternative maps will result in (i) Hispanics
comprising 48.0% to 49.8% of District 5's total voting age population, and (ii) Blacks/African
Americans comprising 10.4% to 11.2% of District 5's total voting age population. Therefore, it
does not appear that the White voting age population in District 5 will be sufficient to
24
overcome a minority population's vote.
Only after a Collier County plaintiff met the burden of proof on all three of the Gingles
conditions, would a court then consider whether the "totality of the circumstances" in Collier
County demonstrated minority dilution. Pursuant to the Gingles decision, the following factors
would be relevant in assessing the totality of the circumstances:
Collier County's history of voting -related discrimination -
the extent to which voting in Collier County elections is'racially polarized;
the extent to which Collier County has used voting practices or procedures that
tend to enhance the opportunity for discrimination against the minority group;
the exclusion of minority group members from candidate slating processes;
the extent to which minority group members bear the effects of past
discrimination in areas such as education, employment, and health, which hinder
their ability to participate effectively in the political process;
the use of overt or subtle racial appeals in political campaigns;
the extent to which members of the minority group have been elected to public
office in Collier County;
whether elected officials are unresponsive to the particularized needs of the
minority group members; and,
13 Miller v. Johnson, 515 U.S. 900, 916, 115 S.Ct. 2475; Show v. Reno, supro.
24 Further, in areas with substantial crossover voting, it is unlikely that a plaintiff would be able to establish the
third Gingles precondition —bloc voting by majority voters. Barlett v. Strickland, 556 U.S. 1, 44 (2009).
13266837

Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
whether the policy underlying Collier County's use of the contested practice or
structure is tenuous.
b. VRA Section 2 (Discriminatory Purpose)
Although Bond did not attend the meeting where Staff drew the alternative maps, Staff
provided Bond with notes from that meeting. Those notes indicate that Staff drew the maps
using GIS layers that included 2020 Census Blocks, roads, water bodies, aerial images, PUD
boundaries and the ten (10) incumbent residence locations. Staff also reviewed (among other
information) data identifying total population by Census Block, a map showing boundaries of
the current districts and the 2020 Census Tract map. Staff reviewed race and ethnic population
data only after Staff completed the map drawing process. Accordingly, it appears that Staff
drew the maps following the BCCs criteria and based on traditional redistricting principles,
such as maintaining communities of interest and neighborhoods and preserving the core of
existing districts.
Further, throughout Bond's involvement in the redistricting process, Bond observed no
evidence of discriminatory intent or purpose.
2. Retrogression Analysis
As previously referenced, the BCC adopted as a supplemental criterion that if any plan would
have a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength, that plan would be eliminated from
further consideration. In essence, this supplemental criterion is included within BCC Primary
Criterion #4 directing Staff to consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law.
Although the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder rendered VRA § 5 legally
irrelevant, statistical retrogression (which had been the seminal judicial focus of a VRA § 5
review), is still relevant to claims of discriminatory purpose or effect. Prior to Shelby County, the
BCC had the burden of establishing to DOJ that a proposed redistricting plan did not have the
purpose or effect of worsening the position of minority voters when compared to the BCC's
"benchmark" plan or district map." While the BCC no longer has this burden, a plaintiff
demonstrating such purpose or effect could expose the BCC to a VRA § 2 claim.
The current BCC district map (which received the DOJ's VRA preclearance in 2011), is the last
legally enforceable redistricting plan for VRA purposes, or the "benchmark". A discriminatory
effect could be established if a redistricting map, when compared to the benchmark map,
evidences a "retrogression" in the number of minorities within a defined district.21 Simply
stated, would racial minority district members in Collier County be "worse off" - numerically - in
2021 when compared to 2011?

13266837
2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
As previously stated, District 5 is the only district with a large enough minority (Hispanic) voting
age population where a retrogression analysis is relevant. Each of the five alternative maps
drawn by Staff do not have a statistical retrogressive effect in District 5. In fact, each
alternative map for District 5 results in a higher percentage of the Hispanic voting age
population, with such increases ranging from 3.84% to 5.63%.
Prior to Shelby County, the DOJ (guided by relevant decisions of the United States Supreme
Court and other federal courts) also considered additional demographic and election data going
beyond the purely mathematical retrogression analysis. These factors included:
• whether minority voting strength is reduced by the proposed redistricting;
• whether minority concentrations are fragmented among different districts;
• whether minorities are over -concentrated in one or more districts;
• whether alternative plans satisfying the jurisdiction's legitimate governmental
interests exist, and whether they were considered;
9 whether the proposed map departs from objective redistricting criteria set by the
submitting jurisdiction and ignores other relevant factors such as compactness and
contiguity, or displays a configuration that inexplicably disregards available natural or
artificial boundaries; and
-whether the map is consistent with the jurisdiction's stated redistricting standards."
Bond's analysis of the VRA as applied to the five alternative maps leads us to conclude:
1. Minority voting strength in each district has not been materially reduced.
2. The minority population has not been over -concentrated or "packed" in one or
more districts to avoid multiple majority -minority districts.
3. The minority population has not been fragmented or "cracked" between districts
to avoid a majority -minority district."
Finally, as mentioned throughout this review, all five of the alternative maps are consistent with
the BCC's redistricting criteria and do not ignore traditional redistricting principles.
27 28 CIFIR §§ 51.56 — 51.59.
21 District 5, as drawn in each of the five alternative maps, might be considered a "coalition district" under VRA
parlance, or a district where more than one minority group can be combined into a majority coalition for VRA §2
purposes. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has held that two minority groups may be aggregated into a single
VRA § 2 minority "if they can establish that they behave in a politically cohesive manner." Based on the proposed
maps, Hispanic and Black/African American voters will together make up more than 50% of the voting age
population in District 5. Concerned Citizens of Hardee County v. Hardee County Board of Commissioners, 906 F.2d
524,526 ( 1 1th Cir. 1990).

Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
3. Equal Protection Clause — 14th Amendment
An additional basis for a claimant seeking to invalidate the proposed district maps is the Equal
Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution '29 as citizens cannot, absent
sufficient justification, be separated "into different voting districts on the basis of race."10
Again, a person claiming that that a redistricting map violates the Equal Protection Clause must
file a lawsuit and bears the burden of proof.
Some tension exists between VRA § 2, and the Equal Protection Clause since, in limited
circumstances, race may explicitly be considered under the former, but must be subordinated
to traditional, non -race -based factors under the latter. Bond identifies the following principles
that have emerged in the post -Shaw environment to guide BCC's redistricting process:
race may be considered; but race may not be the predominant factor in the
redistricting process to the subordination of traditional redistricting principles;
if race is the predominant consideration, the map may still be constitutional if it
is "narrowly tailored" to address compelling governmental interest such as compliance
with the VRA; and
9 if a map is narrowly tailored, it will use race no more than is necessary to address
the compelling governmental interest.
Therefore, while it is legally permissible for the BCC to consider Collier County's minority
populations when drawing and adopting the BCC districts, a strong justification must exist if
minority population considerations are prioritized over traditional redistricting principles.
Accordingly, the BCC need not consider race or language groups as a driving factor in the
redistricting process and is not required to create a majority -minority District 5 by elevating
race over all other traditional redistricting principles. Moreover, because Bond opines that the
three Gingles preconditions indicate that a VRA § 2 claim would be very unlikely to succeed,
and because no map results in a statistical retrogressive effect in District 5, the BCC is not
required to adopt a redistricting map with a minority majority district.
BCC PRIMARY CRITERION #4 CONCLUSION: Bond has reviewed the five alternative maps with
reference to the Voting Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and
concludes that all five maps appear free from (i) dilution of minority voting power (VRA § 2),
and (ii) separation on the basis of race without sufficient justification. If an affected citizen were
to file a VRA §2 or Equal Protection Clause lawsuit, Bond believes it is very unlikely that any
such lawsuit would succeed.

within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." U.S. Const., Arndt. 14, § 1

2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
E. BCC Supplemental Criteria
The other three supplemental criteria adopted by the BCC directed Staff, when not in conflict
with other criteria, to (1) establish well-defined, easily recognizable, and major boundaries,
such as rivers, arterials, and major roads, (2) generally maintain former district boundaries and
(3) preserve communities of interest, such as Golden Gate Estates, and neighborhood integrity.
Historically, jurisdictions have recognized "traditional redistricting criteria" when drawing
congressional, legislative, and local district lines. Such traditional criteria are in addition to the
mandatory standards prescribed by the U.S. Constitution," the Florida Constitution, 12 federal
la W,33 and state law." The foregoing three supplemental criteria are included within the
traditional redistricting criteria recognized by the United States Supreme Court3l and
commentators.
All five of the alternative maps preserve the core of the existing districts, and do not arbitrarily
divide neighborhoods. However, we note the East Naples Civic Association ("ENCA") has
criticized all five proposed maps (especially Maps 1 and 5) as not maintaining the identity of the
East Naples area, a criticism that might be considered by the BCC when adopting the final map.
By letter dated November 19, 2021, the ENCA recommended "an amended Map 4-with the
northern border extended from Rattlesnake to include all areas south of Thomasson."
However, the map enclosed with the ENCA letter did not match the letter's description.
Subsequently, Jacob Winge (ENCA's President) stated that Staff should disregard the rendering
enclosed with the letter and further stated that ENCA is "advocating for the northern Boundary
to be extended West to Thomasson and then carried south outside the City of Naples
boundaries." Based on further communication between Staff and Mr. Winge, Staff now expects
Mr. Winge to prepare and present a proposed amended Map 4 at the December 14 BCC
hearing.
V. Verification of Data
Staff requested Bond to verify the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau data employed by the County, as
well as ensure the data accuracy of the five map options developed by Staff.

Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
To verify the census data used by Staff and the accuracy of the five map options, Bond used the
online tool entitled "My District Builder". My District Builder is provided by the Florida House of
Representatives (www.f lorida red istricti ng.org).
DATA VERIFICATION CONCLUSION: My District Builder allowed Bond to re -draw the five
proposed map options and verify the population and minority data used by Staff. Exhibit "C"
attached hereto contains the five maps recreated by Bond, which show numbers that are
virtually identical to those used by Staff.
V1. Process and Public Feedback
BCC and Staff directed Bond to review and provide feedback on the redistricting process to
ensure the process meets State requirements. Additionally, BCC and Staff requested Bond to
review and provide comments on the process used to obtain public feedback, and to attend
one public information district meeting. Bond attended the District 5 public information
meeting held on November 15, 2021.
The 2021 redistricting process was substantially similar to the 2011 redistricting process. The
Florida Constitution and Chapter 124 of the Florida Statutes charge the BCC with redrawing
Collier County's district boundaries this year. The BCC determined that a December 2021
adoption date was appropriate because of the time limitations imposed by the release of the
United States Census Bureau data on August 12, 2021. Accordingly, the BCC instructed Staff to
prepare up to three alternative maps, each of which complied with the BCC's redistricting
criteria, and Staff elected to prepare five alternative maps.
The BCC is responsible for creating and adopting new district boundaries. No constitutional or
statutory requirement directs the BCC or Staff to draw more than one map option, or to involve
the public in the adoption process. Although holding public meetings is not legally required,
counties throughout Florida typically hold public meetings during the redistricting process.
The five -map alternative method, as implemented, provides the BCC with flexibility in choosing
an acceptable map, and it enabled the public to comment on the same five alternative maps
during the month of November. As referenced above, if ENCA proposes an amended Map 4,
that map may also be considered by the BCC provided it satisfies the BCC criteria.
BCC has the final authority to accept, reject, or modify the alternative maps, but must do so
with the understanding that any delay may jeopardize the adoption of a map in 2021.
A. Map Drawing Process
During the initial Zoom video conference meeting, Bond confirmed that Staff understood the
implications of federal law in drawing the five alternative maps, including VRA § 2's prohibition
against diluting minority voting power.
14
13266837
2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
Bond understands that the maps were drawn by David Weeks and the GIS staff, together with
assistance of the School District through Amy Taylor Lockhart (the School District's Long Range
Planner), Chelsey Mora Nichols (the School District's GIS Planning Analyst) and Tom Eastman
(the School District's Director, Real Property Law & Construction Contracts).
Throughout the public meeting process, David Weeks advised the public that the BCC's
redistricting criteria were the Staff's primary considerations in making decisions during the map
drawing process. Staff strived to create districts with population nearly as equal as possible;
however, Staff did consider the 10% deviation permitted under federal law. This deviation
allowance permitted Staff to consider natural and manmade boundaries when drawing the
maps, and to minimize any division of neighborhoods and communities of interest to achieve
an exact population of 75,150 in each district. Staff did not create any "dramatically irregular"
or "bizarre" shaped districts. Staff maintained all incumbents in their respective districts. Staff
did consider the minority population in District 5 to the extent permissible and did not reduce
the Hispanic or Black/African American minority populations in District 5 in any alternative map.
Because Bond was not present during the map drawing process, we cannot represent with
certainty the absence of any discriminatory purpose or intent to dilute the minority vote.
Nevertheless, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the entire process and the
alternative maps, it would be hard to suggest, let alone prove, that the BCC and Staff had any
such discriminatory purpose or intent by adopting any of the five alternative maps, particularly
considering the public involvement discussed immediately below.
B. Public Meetings and other Outreach
Notice. To solicit the public's preference regarding the five alternative maps, Staff made an
extensive effort to notify the public of the redistricting process. Five public information district
meetings were held, one in each district, which permitted the pubic to view the alternative
maps and associated data and offer any comments or criticisms (including map preferences).
The schedule for the five public meetings was set on or before September 1, 2021, and was
distributed by:
• issuing a press release in English, Spanish, and Creole on or about September 2, 2021;
• posting on the County's Redistricting website (in English, Spanish and Creole);
• mailing to the Chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Chairman of the Miccosukee
Tribe of Indians of Florida, by letters dated October 1, 2021;
• emailing to and/or discussing via phone with several individuals;
• issuing a trilingual public notice that appeared in the Naples Daily News on October 19,
2021 and October 26, 2021;
• having the same trilingual notice appear in the on-line Immokalee Bulletin for most of the
month of October into early November.

Public Awareness Meetings. At ten public awareness meetings held in October of 2021, David
Weeks conducted presentations to the City of Marco Island City Council, Naples City Council,
Everglades City Council, Collier County Planning Commission, NAACP Collier County, Southwest
Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Immokalee Chamber of Commerce, Black Affairs
Advisory Board, Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, and the Democratic Women's Club of
Collier County.
Public Information District Meetings. Public input provided at the public information district
meetings and received by Staff via mail, e-mail, website or otherwise, will be presented to the
BCC for their consideration prior to the BCC map adoption meeting in December.
Staff intentionally did not coordinate the public meeting schedule with any Commissioner to
remain as apolitical as possible.
Each public information district meeting had an approximately 25-minute presentation by David
Weeks explaining the redistricting process and the various principles and laws that must be
considered. David Weeks' presentation was objective and specifically addressed the possibility
of any VRA violations. David Weeks was available to answer any map specific or redistricting
process questions, while Tom Eastman was also available to respond to questions about the
School District. David Weeks encouraged citizens to voice their opinions and submit written
statements via letter or e-mail. Handouts were provided with all maps and supporting data.
Website. The redistricting website (https://www.colliercountvfl.gov/government/growth-
management/divisions/planning-and-zoning-division/2021-collier-county-bcc-redistricting-
information), contains all of the handouts and information available at the five public
information district meetings. The website also contains a link to videos for each of the public
information district meetings, which were broadcast live and rebroadcast on Collier Television
on numerous occasions. The public could also view and provide comments during each public
information district meeting via Facebook Live.
Public input. Staff has shared with Bond all written public comments made at the public
information district meetings. Staff has also prepared a summary of the public input for the BCC
and will be providing copies of all original written public input to the BCC. Bond makes no
representation as to which map is preferred by the public. Bond has limited the scope of this
report to verifying that the redistricting process and the five alternative maps satisfy applicable
legal requirements.
C. Recommendation for 2031
Based on our analysis of current law, we believe that the first supplemental criterion (any plan
that has a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength will be eliminated from further
consideration) is, in essence, part of Primary Criterion #4. Accordingly, for clarification (and
unless applicable law changes), Bond suggests restating Primary Criterion #4 in 2031 to read as
16
13266837
2021 Collier County Redistricting
Independent Review by Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC
follows: "Consider racial and ethnic populations in accordance with the law, including the
elimination of any plan that has a retrogressive effect on minority voting strength."
V11. Conclusion.
Bond, as an independent reviewer of the redistricting process, concludes that the criteria and
procedures mandated by the BCC and Staff resulted in five alternative maps, each of which is
very likely to withstand any legal challenge. The BCC should consider the public feedback
gathered by Staff and may adopt any of the five alternative maps without reservations.
