What follows is a summary, based on what was written at the website at the City of Oakland’s webpage by the planning and zoning department.
Map 18: “At the October 3, 2013 Rules and Legislation Committee of the City Council, the consultant produced a map, based on Map #17, which proposes the Maxwell Park neighborhood be combined into District 4; Map #18 proposes changes to Districts 5 and 6 which balance the population changes resulting from Maxwell Park being combined into District 4. Also, Map #18 shows Broadway Terrace as the boundary between Districts 1 and 4, which it was in 1993; and the map leaves the current border between Districts 1 & 3 the same as it is today: the Mosswood neighborhood remains in District 3. The Committee recommended that both maps #17 and 18 be the “focus” of discussion at the October 15th Council hearing.”

Map 27 and 28: “Councilmember Kalb’s memo says: I am submitting for Council consideration two additional maps that seek to keep neighborhoods together throughout our city. These two maps are variations of previous maps and include components that are contained within one or more of maps 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25. These two maps (27 and 28) are identical to each other as to how they configure council districts one, two, three and seven. They differ from each other as to how they configure council districts four, five and six.”
