Rodriguez, Lisa From: Sent: To: Subject: HPD ICRC Commissioners Friday, August 20, 2021 4:09 PM HPD ICRC Commissionsers DL FW: Inquiry: Rules and procedure for Invited Testimony from Organizations to Independent Redistricting Commission From: Vice President - NWACA < Sent: Friday, August 20, 2021 9:08:12 PM (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik To: HPD ICRC Commissioners <ICRC.Commissioners@austintexas.gov>; Rodriguez, Lisa <Lisa.Rodriguez@austintexas.gov>; Dugan, Matthew <Matthew.Dugan@austintexas.gov> Cc: Subject: Inquiry: Rules and procedure for Invited Testimony from Organizations to Independent Redistricting Commission < < *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To the Commission, I see on your posted agenda for August 28th - located here http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=366131 - that a private organization has been invited to give testimony under 3. New Business, Item C. m m m m V I have checked all the emails to our organization and do not recall seeing an invitation for similar invited testimony, or rules being previously communicated. Please let me know if this is an oversight on my part. What are the rules and processes for other private organizations to be allowed to give invited testimony? If all organizations in the City, and relevant State/Federal level advocacy groups, are not allowed to provide invited testimony, under what rules is it fair for a single private organization to provide that testimony? 1 Please let us know what actions we can take so that our organization - and our members - can participate on an equal basis with other private organizations.

From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: HPD ICRC Commissioners Thursday, August 19, 2021 7:39 AM HPD ICRC Commissionsers DL FW: ICRC citizen input on: (1) Commissioner Yee's request for socio-economic City of Austin data PXL_20210819_114536587.jpg Rodriguez, Lisa From: Philip Wiley < Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2021 12:38:48 PM (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik To: HPD ICRC Commissioners <ICRC.Commissioners@austintexas.gov> Subject: ICRC citizen input on: (1) Commissioner Yee's request for socio-economic City of Austin data *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Commissioners, Commissioner Yee inquired in yesterday's ICRC meeting about socio‐economic data for the City of Austin. I let data astute people interested in policy know. This is what came back, lots of really good stuff here. Prepared by consultants for the City of Austin, the 2020 report is entitled "City of Austin Comprehensive Housing Report", but it's much more. https://austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Housing/Austin%20HMA final.pdf I've taken a photo of one chart below, which to me was a pretty good proxy for generalized socio economic grouping from 2013 when your predecessors created a map. Next to that is how the City has evolved since. My reading of the charter is that this map is a solid place to center identification of communities of interest ‐ but the last ICRC chose another approach ‐ it's your turn, and our best hope is that every map iteration improves on the hard work of those who came before. 4) the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes their division to the extent possible without violating the requirements of any of the preceding subsections. A community of interest is a contiguous population that shares common social and economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Communities of interest shall not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates. This wasn't the only response I got, but as it's a public City asset, it seemed like the best first response. Please don't hesitate to ask if more of any type of data might be helpful. Time is short, and it takes a village. Thanks again ‐ your time commitment and effort is extraordinary!
