The basic question is: Are you constructing districts from scratch or using the existing districts as the basis for redistricting? The public needs to know. Grateful for your service, Stefan Haag SMD 8 Sent from Mail for Windows 10 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Rodriguez, Lisa From: Sent: To: Subject: HPD ICRC Commissioners Monday, August 23, 2021 12:15 PM HPD ICRC Commissionsers DL FW: Rules and procedure for Invited Testimony from Organizations to Independent Redistricting Commission From: Vice President - NWACA < Sent: Monday, August 23, 2021 5:13:48 PM (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik To: Christine Granados < <ICRC.Commissioners@austintexas.gov> Cc: Rodriguez, Lisa <Lisa.Rodriguez@austintexas.gov>; Dugan, Matthew <Matthew.Dugan@austintexas.gov>; >; HPD ICRC Commissioners > Subject: Re: Rules and procedure for Invited Testimony from Organizations to Independent Redistricting Commission *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Christine and Commissioners, Thank you for the reply. We have diligently passed along and highlighted ICRC's events to our community through our social media pages and newsletters. "We invite all 300 plus Austin neighborhood homeowners association members to speak" Ignoring the "homeowners" qualifier in the above - we have renters who are members and renters make up the majority of this city, I think we can all agree they deserve equal input - will all organizations that request it be afforded a place on the agenda, the same time limit, and presentation ability? "We had specific questions we wanted addressed such as, why Austin neighborhood associations exist, when and how they started, how many people or households are represented in the council, if renters are part of these associations and why is it important to keep these associations together." These specific questions above seem most relevant for an unbiased academic, or a journalist. It's unclear to me what qualifications rate the ANC and their representative as being an expert, and able to provide an unbiased answer to the questions above. Or rather, more so than any other private organization and individuals. Let me be clear, it seems like allowing public comment is not equal to being included as invited testimony and, presumably, a presentation. If public comment is equal to invited testimony, then item 3. New Business, Item C. is unnecessary and should be removed from the agenda, right? On Mon, Aug 23, 2021 at 9:27 AM Christine Granados Hello Reykjavik Monrovia, Thank you for contacting the Independent Citizen Redistricting Commission about being an invited guest at the regular Wednesday meeting. We invite all 300 plus Austin neighborhood homeowners association > wrote: 1 if you would like to inquire about the ANC's stated members to speak at any and all regular meetings and public forums during the public comment portion of the meetings.
