The Los Angeles County Citizens Redistricting Commission (LA County CRC) is launching 10 public hearings to solicit ideas from communities of interest on how to adjust the district boundaries for electing the Board of Supervisors for the next decade. Details about these public hearings can be found at https://redistricting.lacounty.gov/public-hearings/.
Hermosa Beach is located in public hearing zone H. The public hearing for this zone will be held on Thursday, August 19, 2021 at 7:00 PM.
You can attend more than one public hearing. The zones do not represent the only time you can provide input. If you are unable to attend the scheduled public hearing for your area, please attend another or submit written comment. The zones for the public hearings has no relationship to the map for the Supervisorial Districts. The zones are intended to allow communities of interest to express their ideas in smaller settings.
The LA County CRC is unlike past practices when the Board of Supervisors appointed an advisory Boundary Redistricting Committee to study proposed changes and could make revisions before adopting the final districted boundaries. Today, the LA County CRC is independent of the Board of Supervisors as a result of California legislation that passed in 2016. At the local level, periodic redistricting can help to:
- Ensure our County’s diverse population and communities have opportunities to have their voices heard
- Enable voters to elect representatives of their choosing and not draw Supervisorial Districts in such a way as to dilute fair opportunities
- Have Supervisors be responsive to the preferences and needs of residents through public policies to improve lives
This redistricting process is also important to:
- Rebalance district populations so they are reasonably equal in population
- Establish districts that are geographically contiguous, while considering topography, geography, cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, compactness of territory, and community of interest of the Supervisorial Districts
