PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Sandra Rentschler expressed appreciation for being included in the City redistricting. She explained
that the California Voting Rights Act was revamped in 2001. It is a state law that makes it easier for
minority groups to prove that their votes are being diluted in at-large elections. The decision of the City
to go forward with redistricting is a good one. Hopefully the Council will be more diverse going
forward. She communicated support of a rotating Mayor position. The City of Azusa has many new
people here and they deserve to be heard.
Diana Reyez Williams, President of Azusa Women’s Club, shared that there is an upcoming
membership drive where they will be giving salsa lessons on Sunday. “We’re Nacho Ordinary
Women’s Club” is one of the newest slogans. Men and women are welcome to join; flyers were
provided

SCHEDULED ITEMS
1. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION OF COMPOSITION OF VOTING
DISTRICTS FOR BY-DISTRICT ELECTIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
VOTING RIGHTS ACT AND REVIEW DRAFT MAPS.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

a. The number of electoral voting districts;
b. The election schedule (sequencing) of voting districts

Councilmember questions.
The Council provided their opinions towards voting for four districts versus five districts.
Mayor Gonzales opened the public hearing and requested Proof of Publication.
City Clerk stated notice was provided in the San Gabrial Valley newspaper on January 3, 2024. Two public
comment cards were received.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Bruce Monroe opposed the City transitioning from at-large elections to voting districts and requested that the
Council reverse the decision. The advantages of voting districts outweigh the disadvantages in large cities. The
disadvantages of the voting districts outweigh the advantages in small cities. Having five districts would mean
only a few thousand people in each district, which results in less chance of having good candidates. Voters have
no say as to most councilmembers elected, when there are districts. He stated that if voting districts are adopted,
fewer is better than more, and encouraged between four to five districts and a publicly at-large, elected mayor so
that residents could vote for one councilmember for the whole City.
Philip Campa supported transitioning to five districts. He found that there are three large demographic groups:
Hispanic, Asian, and White, and believed that five districts allow the City an opportunity to increase the minority
representation. District 4, Option 1 splits the North Rosedale Homeowners Association (HOA) community and
dilutes the Asian vote. District 4, Option 2 dilutes the Asian and White vote. He inquired regarding what happens
when there is a district with two councilmembers, and one is up for election, but the other is not. Map 5, Option
1 splits the HOA and dilutes the Asian vote; and Map 5, Option 2 dilutes the Asian and White vote.
Motion: by Councilmember Mendez., seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Beckwith to close the public hearing.

In response to how they got to the point they are at, City Manager explained that there was a threat from the State
that if the City did not move to by district elections, community members who appeal the City’s noncompliance
would be awarded an amount of retribution by the City, with a minimum total amount of $30,000. As good
stewards of the City’s funds, City Council, against their own wishes, chose to move towards by-district voting so
not to warrant litigation fees accumulated through that appeal process.
City Council provided direction to City staff regarding the number of electoral voting districts and requested
revisions and tweaks in the demography for the maps to include some type of open space in each district; and the
election schedule (sequencing) of voting districts.

Mayor Pro-Tem Alvarez hoped everyone had a nice Christmas and wished all a Happy New Year. Hopefully,
this will be a better year and many projects will be completed.
Councilmember Avila Jr. wished everyone a great 2024. There are a lot of CIP projects on the table, so staff will
be busy this year. Thanks to Lucy for the great 25th Anniversary Gala event.
Councilmember Mendez announced that correspondence was received regarding a gate that had been placed on
the City of Azusa and Glendora border which creates a one directional access unless someone has a code to get
in. He expressed frustration that the access of people coming from the Azusa side is being limited, and asked the
City Manager what options, of any, the City would have to resolve the issue. Councilmember Mendez requested
an update on the Prominade.
City Manager Gonzalez replied that as of last week he believes parties are ready to sign an amendment to the
lease agreement potentially with retroactive rent payment; once that has been secured he will report back to City
Council.
Mayor Gonzales spoke regarding the gate going into Glendora. He reached out to the City Officials for Glendora
who indicated their hands are tied regarding the gate staying locked because it is on private property.
Councilmember Beckwith wished a Happy New Year to all and hoped everyone had a wonderful Christmas
season and holidays. He recognized the recent Martin Luther King (MLK) holiday and the words and impact of
MLK on the country and society as a whole. 2024 will be a very active year with a large number of City
Improvement projects. Congratulations to Sneaker Souffle on their recent grand opening and ribbon cutting.
