The City has begun the process to transition to district-based elections and will be drawing boundaries for those new districts to be ready for the November 2018 Council elections.
It is essential for the success of this process that there is a shared understanding of neighborhood regions. You are the person who knows your neighborhood best. Please use the topics below to inform us on how you identify your neighborhood by describing your community characteristics, shared interests, views, or problems.
All comments received will be shared with City Council as part of the public feedback at future public hearings.
In addition to collecting information here on Speak-up, Santa Rosa,there will be opportunities for residents to engage in this discussion in person, sign-up and subscribe to receive email notifications (select "City Council Agendas, Minutes, and Videos") about upcoming community meetings & public hearings that are focused on district-based elections:
- Community Meetings - 4-5 community meetings will be held around the City to answer questions and solicit input.
- ​City Council Public Hearings - opportunity to be involved through the process of drafting and finalizing the maps (public hearing dates can be found here).
