DUARTE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS NEW DISTRICT 
MAP, COMPLETES REDISTRICTING PROCESS 

At its meeting on Tuesday, April 12, the Duarte City Council completed the redistricting process 
and established a new City Council district map by adopting Ordinance No. 909 approving Map 103Revised. 

City Council seats for Districts 1, 4, 5, and 6 will be up for re-election this November, while the election 
in Districts 2, 3, and 7 will occur in November 2024. The new Council District map pairs Mayor 
Margaret Finlay and Mayor Pro Tem Tzeitel Paras-Caracci in District 1. It also pairs Councilmembers 
Jody Schulz and Vinh Truong in District 3. Two of the new Districts - District 2 and District 
4 - have no incumbent Councilmembers. 

The City began the redistricting process in September 2021 and hired National Demographics Corporation 
(NDC) as the demographer. Early in the process, Duarte created a dedicated redistricting 
website, which is a one-stop-shop for all matters Duarte redistricting. It provides education about 
the redistricting process, answers to frequently asked questions, a schedule of upcoming meetings, 
a contact us page, a subscription form to receive districting news, and mapping tools. Residents also 
had the ability to pick up paper map kits from City Hall and the Senior Center to submit hand-drawn 
submissions. 

To gather public input and insights on the district formation process, the City Council held six Public 
Hearings, a Special Meeting, and a Regular Meeting: 

Public Hearing #1 - September 28, 2021: Identify neighborhoods, communities of interest, and secondary 
areas; mapping tools overviewPublic Hearing #2 - January 11, 2022: Identify neighborhoods, communities of interest, and secondary 
areas; mapping tools overviewPublic Hearing #3 - February 8, 2022: First presentation of maps and discussion of election sequence

to adopt the preferred map and its election sequenceRegular Meeting #8 - April 12, 2022: Review of the selected map and second reading of the ordinance 
to adopt the preferred map and its election sequence
