At the same time, one of the legal requirements for redistricting is that a commission preserve the core of previous districts. Among other requirements, the commission would have to keep communities of interest together and it would be barred from drawing lines based on race or ethnicity.Right now, Black people make up about 8% of the city’s population but hold 20% of the City Council seats. One of the reasons for that is voter participation.
It's also pretty clear the number of Black people on the 15-member City Council will drop from three to two. But that's not because of redistricting. It's because City Councilmember Curren Price is termed out of office next year. “It may prove to be very inconvenient for sitting members of the City Council, and that’s just the ways its going to have to go,” Krekorian said.
