The City Charter requires that Ward boundaries be of equal population and that the City Council hold at least one (1) public hearing to consider modifying those boundaries. The City will hold four (4) public hearings to consider ward boundaries over the next several months. The first two hearings are critical in that they will explain the re-boundary process, review the criteria used to modify Ward boundaries, and allow residents to submit their ideas for potential boundary lines. These two hearings will culminate in the development of proposed new Ward map(s). The remainder of the hearings will be to consider the proposed map(s), select the preferred map, and adopt the final new Ward map. The Public Hearing schedule is as follows:
Two (2) Public Hearings to review the Ward re-boundary process, hear from residents about their ideas for potential ward boundaries, and to receive City Council direction on the criteria to be considered for mapping of new Ward boundaries, were held:

• Tuesday, September 4th at 5:45 p.m. - Regular City Council Meeting, Council Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA
• Tuesday, September 18th at 5:45 p.m. - Regular City Council Meeting, Council Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA
