Please provide this email to all the members of the Diamond Bar City Council, and to the consultants working on Diamond Bar districting. I have also copied Ryan Mclean on this email.
My name is Adrienne Cotterell and I am a 31 year resident of Diamond Bar. The change to district voting is a significant one and I am taking the process seriously. I submitted a Community
of Interest Survey as well as a Community of Interest map.
I have reviewed all the district maps submitted thus far, and I would like to state to you my preference for
Map 123322. I think this map is better than the one that I submitted and is a very good solution to our need to establish districts. It creates districts that are balanced population-wise,
well within the acceptable variance allowed by law. I also like how it divides"the middle" of Diamond Bar, with the intersection of Grand and Diamond Bar Blvd as a pivot point around
which two districts are centered.
I would also like to ask that the consultants generate data layers that show the household income of the census blocs, so that districts can be characterized by household income stated
as the mean and median for each, as well as a frequency distribution for each. This information will allow the Council to understand the true economic diversity of Diamond Bar, inform
those running for office, and assure that Districts are drawn in a manner that allows representation for differing community needs.
Thank you very much. This process is important and I appreciate the time, energy, resources and care expended by staff and the Council on behalf of the residents of Diamond Bar.
