Districts, property sales, parks on agenda

The first public hearing on the creation of districts for the election of members of the city council takes place before the Westminster City Council when it meets on Wednesday.

At its last meeting, the council voted to switch from its traditional at-large practice under threat of a lawsuit invoking provisions of the California Voting Rights Act, which takes aim at “racially polarized voting.”

The council will hear a staff report and go to a discussion, followed by the public hearing. Another public hearing will be scheduled for a later date. Deadline for the completion of a plan for by-district voting is Dec. 18, 2019.

Also on the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting is a continuation from Oct. 9 of discussion of rules of decorum and civility policy for city council meetings.

The council meets at 7 p.m. in its chambers at 8200 Westminster Blvd.
