Briefing on Current Status of Districts Beverly Willis, Mapping Department Supervisor with the Orange County Supervisor of Elections Office introduced herself. She presented a PowerPoint presentation, which included Current Voter Statistics by District, Redistricting Guidelines and a Census Update. She displayed maps of the four (4) districts along with their voter registration data by race and party. Ms.Willis displayed Redistricting Guidelines, which are as follows: • Best practice is to use Census population and block lines for districts. Voter data is only for reference and should not be used for district counts. • City districts that do not follow census blocks will require more research and documentation. • Most current Census counts are large area estimates and do not go down to the block level. • Future growth can be hard to estimate for small area population counts. Ms.Willis concluded with a Census Update, which is listed below: • Census population counts for redistricting will be released in March 2022, per Public Law 94-171. • State Legislature, Orange County Commission, School Board and City of Orlando will wait for that data release to begin their redistricting. • The Elections Office is working with the State to suggest census block boundaries for future precinct and/or district lines. The Ocoee district line in the Spring Lake area has already been submitted. • Future census lines can still be suggested. Mike O'Halloran, GIS Analyst with the City of Ocoee introduced himself He presented a PowerPoint presentation, which included How the Redistricting Population Data was Created and the Current Status of Commission Districts. He explained what census blocks are and exhibited with maps which blocks were changed at the last Districting Commission meeting, which was in 2011. He explained that the last census was effective in 2010, but the data was not published until 2012, and the next census is scheduled for 2020. He indicated he decided to use the date April 1, 2015, as his half-way point to calculate the census data for this Districting Commission. He further indicated he updated the current census data by adding in annexations and new development (Certificates of Occupancies). He shared by his calculation as of April 1, 2015, his population count for the City of Ocoee stands at 39,060; whereas, the April 1, 2010, Census population count stood at 35,579, and the April 1, 2015, Bureau of Economic and Business Research(BEBR) stands at 40,171. 31 Page Districting Commission February 27,2017 Mr. O'Halloran continued to show Commission District Population graphs depicting deviation percentage differences and comparing 2010 with 2015 (see below). He explained to the Board that they should be looking at the "Percent Deviation." The percent deviation for each district should be under five (5) percent with obtaining the goal of equivalent districts. 2010 Commission District Population IDEAL ACTUAL DEVIATION DISTRICT POPULATION POPULATION FROM IDEAL % DEVIATION 1 8893 8908 15 0.17 2 8893 8875 -18 -0.20 3 8893 8931 38 0.43 4 8893 8857 -36 -0.40 35571 35571 2015 Commission District Population IDEAL ACTUAL DEVIATION DISTRICT POPULATION POPULATION FROM IDEAL % DEVIATION 1 9765 9886 121 1.24 2 9765 9081 -684 -7.00 3 9765 10250 485 4.97 4 9765 9843 78 0.80 39060 39060 Discussion ensued with the Board regarding dividing districts and what transpired at the last districting review in 2011. Member Thomas clarified that the next election is in 2018, but they will be using population data from 2015. Mr. O'Halloran indicated that is correct, but he is able to update the data to a closer date, if they wish. Member Hopper inquired if he is able to obtain the growth rate to present date. Mr. O'Halloran said he is able to obtain current numbers. Member Hopper indicated to Mr. O'Halloran that he would like to see the most current population numbers, and Mr. O'Halloran said he will bring the updated numbers to the next meeting. Mr. O'Halloran briefly described various maps that were displayed around the chambers for the Members to view. He also discussed new developments within the city. He further presented and explained the GIS application software, which will be used in future meetings to move boundaries and view adjusted population. VII. Schedule Meeting Dates Discussion ensued regarding scheduling upcoming meetings.
