BACKGROUND
In 2024, the City of Chino completed the East End and Ramona Francis Annexations, incorporating the land into the City. The annexation of unincorporated San Bernardino County land in Chino was approved by the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) and finalized on October 9, 2024 (East End Annexation 3268) and November 25, 2024 (Ramona Francis Annexation 3269). LAFCO Resolutions, including the territory maps, are attached for reference (Attachments 2 and 3).
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
According to Chapter 2.06 (City Council Electoral System) of the Chino Municipal Code, the City Council must approve the annexation of territory into the City to designate the contiguous City Council District to which the annexed territory shall be a part and shall amend the boundaries by Resolution (Attachment 1).
The East End and Ramona Francis Annexation areas are in the north end of the City and border City Council District 4. Therefore, it is recommended that the annexed territories be incorporated into City Council District 4.
At the time of the annexation approvals, there were 11 registered voters in the East End annexation area, and 271 voters in the Ramona Francis annexation area. Following approval of the Resolution, all registered voters in the annexed areas will now be eligible to vote for the District 4 Council Member, the Mayor (at-large), and any other City-wide measures on the ballot in future elections.
Once approved, City staff will submit the Resolution to the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters, along with an updated voting district map. Additionally, the City’s website and interactive voting district map will be updated to reflect the annexed areas within the map.
