Dublin To Hold Fourth Public Meeting On Draft Maps Tuesday

DUBLIN, CA ? Dublin will host its fourth public hearing on district draft maps on Tuesday, July 19 at 7 p.m. The Dublin City Council will review all district draft maps, and potentially select a final map, the city said.

Dublin City Councilmembers and the Dublin mayor are currently elected by the entire city on an at-large basis, but like neighboring Pleasanton, Dublin is switching to a district system. Starting in 2024, voters will be divided into four districts of equal population, also taking into account schools, demography, natural topography, and more. Voters will select only candidates who live in their district.

Since April, the city has asked residents to submit feedback through public hearings and online draft maps. The city also conducted virtual and in-person workshops, social media advertising, and grassroots outreach at the Dublin Farmers? Market.

The city has reviewed 15 submitted draft maps since the June 21 public hearing. The City Council will consider community draft maps, as well as five maps created by demographers from the National Demographics Corporation incorporating public feedback, on Tuesday.

All maps, and more information on the district election transition process, are available here.

The meeting will be livestreamed here and on www.tv30.org.
