HPD ICRC Commissioners From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Pete Gilcrease Wednesday, September 8, 2021 10:56 AM HPD ICRC Commissioners District Mapping Suggestions - D9 - Hyde Park (From Friends of Hyde Park President) HPBoundaries2.png *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners, I'm the president of Friends of Hyde Park. Friends of Hyde Park is currently the largest neighborhood association in our neighborhood with over 500 members. Friends of Hyde Park is not aligned with the Austin Neighborhoods Council (ANC). Hyde Park is made up of approximately 70% renters with a diverse background, including a large number of students that attend the University of Texas. This type of representation is almost completely absent in ANC aligned neighborhood associations. Unfortunately, because of the way the initial district lines were drawn, which didn't fully follow the charter guidance on socio economic grouping, there's a very small group of mainly wealthy older white property owners that dominate the representation for Hyde Park at the city council level. The majority of the people that live within Hyde Park have almost no representation because of this. I'd like to propose a change to the redistricting maps to ensure that Hyde Park and surrounding neighborhoods in central Austin receive better representation in the future. According to the latest population numbers by district, District 4 lost population and needs to incorporate more people into the district. I'd suggest, if it is compatible with the goals of building a minority opportunity district, incorporating the north part of Hyde Park, known as North Hyde Park, into District 4. North Hyde Park is the area north of 45th St and is more similar to the North Loop and Highland neighborhoods that are part of District 4 than neighborhoods to the south of it. Despite how ANC aligned neighborhood associations characterize it, North Hyde Park is a completely separate neighborhood with different housing types, different history, and a different diversity of people than the original Hyde Park neighborhood that's south of 45th St. An example of this cultural and historical split can be seen in Ridgetop Elementary School, located in North Hyde Park, that has a large percentage of hispanic children, and the school that Hyde Park feeds into, Lee Elementary, has a mainly white population. The reason that North Hyde Park has the name Hyde Park in it is because it was annexed as a way for the people …

Current Plan Suggested alternative A VTD and a Precinct are essentially equivalent terms I refer to the existing redistricting plan as the current plan and the one we are discussing here as an alternative 9/9/2021 Draft Analysis 1 9/9/2021 Draft Analysis 2 The redistricting starts with a large movement of population from District 6 (the most overpopulated district) into 10 and 7. Precincts 343, 234 and parts of precincts 232, moved from current district 6 to alternative district 10. Then precinct 246 and 267 are moved from Current 10 to alternative 7. 6 10 7 9/9/2021 Draft Analysis 3 Move from precinct 325 and part of 206 from current district 1 to alternative district 9. Precinct 206 was split and in the alternative plan is made whole. 9/9/2021 Draft Analysis 4 9/9/2021 Draft Analysis 5 These 2 vtds (118 and 130) as well as part of 113 are moved from current district I to alternative 4.
