Subject: Update and Direction on Orange County Redistricting Mapping. (Angel de la Portilla)
Background Summary:
In November 2024, Orange County voters approved a charter amendment to expand the number of Orange
County commission districts from six to eight. To implement this change, the Orange County Board of County
Commissioners undertook a redistricting process to establish new district boundaries and incorporate the two
additional districts.
Issue:
An update will be provided on the latest grouping of maps that have been approved by the Orange County
Redistricting Committee, as well as the timeline for the group's recommendation to the Orange County
Commission.
Recommendations:
In order to provide an official position, the City Commission would need to vote or by consensus direct any
communication to the Redistricting Committee based on the current timeline. Mr. de la Portilla will be prepared
to answer questions that the City Commission may have.
