Placer County District 2 Updates

Redistricting Meeting

Placer County Redistricting Meeting Commission to hold its next public meeting Nov. 4th.

The Placer County Advisory Redistricting Commission is hosting its next public meeting before presenting its recommendation to the Placer County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 30.

The Placer County Advisory Redistricting Commission, which is set to consider amendments to the boundaries of the county’s five supervisorial districts by the end of this year, will host a public meeting at 6:05 p.m. on Nov. 4 at the Community Development Resource Center in North Auburn.

The Advisory Redistricting Commission held its first meeting on Oct. 14, which is available to watch online, here.

District lines can shape residents’ ability to elect the representative of their choice.

Community members are welcome to virtually participate in the upcoming Advisory Redistricting Commission meeting via Zoom. Full meeting details for the Nov 4. meeting and staff report are available on the Redistricting Placer website, here.

Redistricting Information

Placer County has also launched the Redistricting Placer interactive website https://www.placer.ca.gov/redistricting, which features interactive redistricting map alternatives, maps submitted by community members, videos, staff reports and more.

Residents can stay up to date on redistricting in Placer County by subscribing to Redistricting Placer updates, here.

The Placer County Board of Supervisors in February voted to appoint the Placer County Planning Commission to act as the Advisory Redistricting Commission to draw redistricting maps, which will ultimately be brought forward to the public and board for formal review and adoption.

The following residents serve on the Advisory Redistricting Commission:

Samuel Cannon - District 1
Nathan Herzog - District 2
Anthony DeMattei - District 3
Daniel Woodward - District 4
Anders Hauge - District 5
Larry Sevison - At-Large East of Sierra Crest
Richard Johnson - At-Large West of Sierra Crest

Redistricting takes place every 10 years after the federal census. District boundaries for federal, state, and local elected offices are redrawn to reflect new census data and shifting populations.

Census data allows county officials to realign supervisorial districts in their counties, accounting for shifts in population growth since the last Census and assuring equal representation for their constituents in compliance with the “one-person, one-vote” principle of the Voting Rights Act.

Placer County Launched Internet Survery

Placer County has launched its 2021 Internet Service Survey to help identify communities where internet service is inadequate and broadband infrastructure improvements need to be made.

The 2021 Internet Service Survey will gauge how Placer residents and business owners use the internet and rate the quality of their service. The survey is also intended to help identify unserved and underserved communities.

The county has committed $10 million of its American Rescue Plan Act funding to invest into broadband infrastructure. Additionally, the county is actively seeking federal and state funding to further support infrastructure improvements, which are then deployed through the county’s Last Mile Broadband grant program. Recently, Wave Broadband received $500,000 through the county’s first Last Mile Broadband grant to help fund the expansion of high-speed internet service for approximately 1,500 residents and businesses in Placer.

Placer residents and businesses are encouraged to complete the survey HERE.
