22-0054 115.2Redistricting Public Hearing 2 of 4CC- Public HearingPUBLIC HEARING - REDISTRICTING OF CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS (FAIR MAPS ACT) - SECOND OF FOUR PUBLIC HEARINGS BACKGROUND: On December 7, 2021, the Council held its first of four public hearings in the process for the decennial review of City Council Member district boundaries. Cities with district-based elections are required to update (“redistrict”) the district boundaries every ten years, following the receipt of updated population data from each federal decennial census. Santa Rosa is required to redistrict the Council district boundaries prior to the next City Council election in 2022. The Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act requires cities and counties to engage communities in the redistricting process. The process must include at least four public hearings, one of which may be conducted as a community workshop. This will be the second of those four public forums.

22-0050 114.2CityBus Transit Service ModificationsCC- ReportREPORT - CITYBUS TEMPORARY TRANSIT SERVICE MODIFICATION TO ADDRESS STAFFING SHORTAGE BACKGROUND: As the COVID-19 pandemic has continued, the City has been unsuccessful in recruiting enough new bus drivers to replace retiring drivers, inhibiting CityBus’ ability to restore service to the desired pre-pandemic levels. CityBus has experienced a net reduction in bus operators which threatens to impact service reliability on a near daily basis. To ensure consistent, reliable service for the public, the Transit Division proposes a minor temporary service reduction to be in effect until enough new drivers are recruited and trained to sustain higher service levels. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution, approve a temporary minor reduction of weekday frequency on Santa Rosa CityBus Route 1 to ensure service reliability during the current staffing shortage. to waive reading of the text and adoptPass Action details Video Video
