Council meeting included presentations about election maps, school campuses and ambulance service response times

The City Council on Tuesday hosted another public hearing regarding district-based election maps that featured a detailed report by the Center for Demographic Research. Most of the discussion centered on Map A and the newly-revised Map E-1. The next public hearing will take place during the Council’s February 22 meeting.

During Tuesday’s meeting, the Council also received an important presentation from a Sheriff’s Department school resource officer (SRO) about what the City’s six SROs are seeing on Mission Viejo campuses. The meeting also included an update by Orange County Fire Authority Division 3 Chief Rob Capobianco about concerns with ambulance service response times and ongoing discussions with the County of Orange.
