Rodriguez, Lisa From: Sent: To: Subject: HPD ICRC Commissioners Tuesday, August 17, 2021 9:22 AM HPD ICRC Commissionsers DL FW: Meeting on August 18, 2021, Item 3A From: Stefan Haag < Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2021 2:21:27 PM (UTC+00:00) Monrovia, Reykjavik To: HPD ICRC Commissioners <ICRC.Commissioners@austintexas.gov> Subject: Meeting on August 18, 2021, Item 3A > *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners, I was wondering why the briefing on the 2020 Census is being conducted by Dr. Valencia, the Austin City Demographer, rather than your legal counsel or your mapper. The independence of the commission is greatly influenced by the source of the commission’s information. Your legal counsel was the legal counsel to the first ICRC and is familiar with the current districts, their boundaries, and relevant information concerning the boundaries for the districts. Also, your mapper should have the capability to brief you on the population of each district after the 2020 census as well as the VTDs that are included in the districts. The same argument could be made concerning your briefing on the open meetings and open records acts and your responsibilities under those acts. Being briefed by the City Attorney is similar to my concerns about the briefing by the City Demographer. The City of Austin should not be providing legal advice to the commission. On September 4, 3021, the action by Governor Abbott that delayed the requirement to complete the training expires, and you are required to complete the training. Although the online training doesn’t take long to complete, it should be done quickly and the certificate of completion provided to Christine. I also think that Christine needs to be aware that communications between citizens and the commission should be available as a backup to a meeting, ensuring that the process is open and transparent. Sincerely, Stefan Haag Resident of SMD 8 Sent from Mail for Windows 10 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

"It's going to be a least week or ten days before it's usable," said George Korbel, ICRC mapping specialist. "At least that's been my experience from the last several redistricting maps I've been involved in." Korbel is no stranger to redistricting. He was instrumental in challenging the fairness of at‐large elections in Texas in the '70s. He and the ICRC's legal counsel David Richards were part of the team that ligated the landmark case known as White v. Regester. The case, which made it all the way to the Supreme Court in 1973 and won, found the urban voting district in Dallas and Bexar County reduced Latino representation in the Texas House of Representatives. The case also expanded into other counties with large urban districts in the state including, Tarrant, Nueces, McLennan, Travis, Galveston, Jefferson, Lubbock and El Paso. 2 "(The case) set down the proof pattern for litigation in almost literally all redistricting that dealt with at‐large elections," Korbel said. Since then, Korbel and Richards have been involved in redistricting over 50 jurisdictions such as cities, counties and school districts. Most recently, they redistricted education institutional boundaries in Houston and for Lone Star College, one of the largest community college districts in the nation. In Austin, Korbel, who has attended all but one ICRC public forum, plans to use the public's input in his map making process. "They're giving suggestions as to what changes should be made, and when I get access to the data, we will determine what the population of each one of the current city districts will be," Korbel said. "Based on that information, we'll start making changes to the districts, but I really …

My rudimentary understanding is that the City Charter doesn't allow non‐geographic districts, but if that's not a hard rule, I think an At‐ Large or Citywide council district for people who don't own property would be hugely helpful. These folks can't speak louder than their landlords or whoever owns the property where they're staying, but they are our neighbors and citizens with an invaluable perspective. Thanks for considering giving them a louder voice. Sincerely, Carolina Treviño ‐‐ Rev. Carolina Treviño m CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
