NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — Every 10 years, following the federal Census, the boundaries of the areas by which the Yuba Community College District Governing Board is elected is subject to change.
At the Oct. 14 regular board meeting, the governing board received a presentation from Cooperative Strategies, YCCD’s demographers, highlighting changes in the YCCD population since the 2010 Census.
Cooperative Strategies also informed the governing board that due to population growth within YCCD’s boundaries since the 2010 Census, under state and federal voting rights laws, the governing board should redraw its trustee area boundaries to satisfy population variance standards between the most and least populated trustee areas.
At the Nov. 10 regular board meeting, the YCCD Governing Board will review and consider map options that ensure compliance with state and federal voting rights laws.
Any changes to the YCCD trustee areas need to be approved by the YCCD Governing Board by Feb. 28, 2022.
The Governing Board encourages public participation throughout this process.
The public can view the current trustee area maps and the draft maps outlining change options the Board will consider on Nov. 10 here.
Two public hearings are planned to receive public input on this process.
The hearings are scheduled for Nov. 10 and Dec. 16, at regular monthly board meetings.
For the first public hearing, the YCCD Governing Board will meet virtually on Nov. 10 at 5 p.m.
The agenda and zoom link can be accessed here after Sunday, Nov. 7.
