David Weeks-Comprehensive planning Section—GMD Colette -�Tc-
Mr. Weeks presented to the board members statistics of the population based in the last census report.
Pages were taken from a power point presentation used by the supervisor of elections.
Mr. Weeks went through the results of the census provided in the 2nd page of the document.
Member asked what the VAP means? Voting age population
Mr. Weeks explained about the district distribution due to some of the areas have less than the ideal
population while others exceed the ideal population. He also explained that the boundaries will be
moved east and north.
Page 5 shows the redistricting criteria. The BCC approved 4 criteria
• Maintain the population number
• Keep the income for commissioners fv�isc. Corres:
• Keep district as compact and regularly shape as possible
Date:1.12
• Comply with Federal law with regards to minority population —
Item#:
x. 61 A 17 . .,„
Collier County does not have a district with a majority of minority population.
The Hispanic ethnicity is a significant amount currently present at Collier County.
David Correa joined the meeting at 7:12
Mr. Weeks explained that there is the need to maintain boundaries, if possible they will maintain a
community within one district but it is possible that because they may not have a physical boundary the
community get split if the boundary is placed following a street.
Mr. Weeks will like to present to the HAAB during July or August the proposed boundary maps as well to
the BAAB.
Mario asked to Mr. Weeks if he was meeting with the SWF district.
Mr. Weeks explained that the Federal redistricting is completely different than the ones for Counties. By
Florida Statutes we can adjust boundaries only during odd years so this has to get done this year. The
process started in late March and it has to be done before the end of the year.
How do you correlate the boundaries to the legislative boundaries?
Mr. Weeks explained that they don't, they are completely different and independent.The boundaries
will move East and North. Redistricting for Collier County is absolutely independent from the
congressional.
Will this go to the congress to seek their approval?
Mr. Weeks indicated that yes the map after the approval, is sent to the judicial department for
comments.Two of the districts have to get smaller and the other three need to get larger.
End of Mr. Week's presentation.
Mario clarified that the information provided last week with regards to redistricting was related to the
congressional redistricting not local redistricting.
Mario provided information to the board members about scheduling another meeting concerning future
redistricting. If the HAAB would like to participate in the State Hearing,they will need approval from the
county commissioners.
The question is if Hispanics within the County would like to participate not if the members want to
participate.
Discussion with regards to what type of input the HAAB can provide to change the legislation.
Members expressed that they don't want to participate in the State hearings.They can participate as
individuals but not has a board.

discuss the Census plan. Manny Gonzalez second the motion.

the agenda to find out the time limitations that Mr. Weeks has.

information and they are facts. The board will not have the opportunity to move the boundaries, it will
be only informative.
