How well does the above draft map showing all proposed districts represent your community?
How well does “Draft Plan A, District A” represent your community?
What would you change about "Draft Plan A, District A"?
This alignment crosses multiple watershed drainages, and bisects communities. The District representation would be bound by each of the other four Districts. This alignment is too expansive and has too many different communities. This alignment doesn't follow a logical alignment of interests such as river drainages which is a logical delineation of political boundaries to reflect watershed boundaries when at all possible.
What would you keep about "Draft Plan A, District A"?
Start District A on the top of the Wildcats to the South of Fortuna and add the coastal area to the ridgeline of the Eel River Valley.
How well does “Draft Plan A, District B” represent your community?
What would you change about "Draft Plan A, District B"?
This alignment crosses multiple watershed drainages. This alignment is block shaped and doesn't follow a logical alignment of interests such as river drainages which is a logical delineation of political boundaries to reflect watershed boundaries when at all possible.
What would you keep about "Draft Plan A, District B"?
I would match the ridgeline with District A - District B would encompass the Eel River watershed and would release the Mad River watershed to District E
How well does “Draft Plan A, District C” represent your community?
What would you change about "Draft Plan A, District C"?
The south side of the Mad River should be included in District C as well as the eastern side of Humboldt Bay to encompass the smaller watersheds of Jacoby Creek all the way to Faye Slough - this would extend eastward for quite some distance until intersecting with the Mad River drainage
What would you keep about "Draft Plan A, District C"?
The entire northern Humboldt Bay and Harbor - everything that is shown
How well does “Draft Plan A, District D” represent your community?
What would you change about “Draft Plan A, District D”?
Bisecting the community of Eureka is not a good idea. Release the area north of Faye slough to the northern District CWhat would you keep about “Draft Plan A, District D”?
The focus on EurekaHow well does “Draft Plan A, District E” represent your community?
What would you change about “Draft Plan A, District E”?
Expand District E to include Mad River watershed boundaries and Trinity River boundaries
What would you keep about “Draft Plan A, District E”?
Keep the rest and add in Mad and Trinity River boundaries
Any other thoughts on "Draft Plan A" you would like to share? Please specify if it is the full county or a specific district you are commenting on.
District A's expansiveness is way overreaching and mixes interests across the whole County. I fully reject Draft Plan A, it does not reflect the best interest of these communities.

This is the best option that is being presented to allow for adequate representation of our communities with each supervisor.
Any other comments you would like to share with the Redistricting Advisory Commission?
Please allow the Districts to follow watershed boundaries and please limit a District shape that crosses multiple communities, watersheds and intersects with each other District such as is proposed in Plan A and Plan B.
Plan C is the logical best choice from these options.
