The commissioners listening to @ndc_doug - at least they are present today
@ndc_doug The Middle and the End
I will go to my grave wondering why it is so fri*ckin hard for the IRC to post presentations before they damn meeting? Anyone have a thought on this?
@ndc_doug
Glad to hear @ndc_doug remind the public to "stay vigilant" and the IRC that only the final map is final. Until then - everything can be changed.

Days to #FairMaps for Arizona = 98

So many issues to cover today.
1) @timmonsgroup mapping tool not winning many converts
2) @ArizonaIRC has no process for mapping - Public should be VERY concerned
3) Community Input - round 2 - not off to a promising start
1/
2/ Mapping tool not winning many converts
Seriously we were hopeful the tool would be user friendly and we might host workshops and training encouraging individuals to use the tool and submit district suggestions. Not happening. AND @timmonsgroup clear they are NOT
3/ in business of "end-user support." Translation to the public: "You are on your own."
So the IRC is telling the public to use a tool introduced just hours ago with no tech support AND not making it explicit that current open source tools will be integrated into submissions.

Agenda Item 7: Ex. Dir. Report.
Outreach First: they have reached out to AZ Library Assoc. (!) and AZ Archives and Public Records Dept. (!) as part of the effort to engage the public. Memberships reach small and large communities w/ statewide reach.
About 235 individual libraries in the state - asking them to become knowledgable and point "clients" to the website. Obtained a link to free wifi in the state and will publish that on the website - and it is also in Spanish

(My head is exploding.)
Attended AZ League of Cities and Towns EXPO to meet local elected officials.

Also working to simplify info about mapping hub.

Lerner: Asks about integrity checks -- @ndc_doug says - why yes, you do have to have equal population - but with a 5% deviation.. Pressing on submitting requirement of state plans... @timmonsgroup isn't sympathetic @ndc_doug tries to make it user friendly
@ndc_doug @timmonsgroup MEHL: Do we vote on every direction for line change --
@ndc_doug up to you - could be less formal until you get closer to draft maps... then you may have to have formal votes - may get multiple options with requests --
Neuberg asks: Are changes in real time?
@ndc_doug - depends on how big the change is -- will try to give live feedback - big changes have big ripples

LERNER: Can we get it ahead of the meeting?

THIS IS THE PUBLIC RAISING OUR HANDS - WE WANT THE MAPS ALSO

The first look of the Redistricting Hub
Now for the explanation - content not yet live -- sections WILL include - Maps and Apps; COI storyMap; Dashboard: SocioEconomic Report (2019); Redistricting System - training session and training slides;
Now the GRID MAPS - Congressional districts using only population and county boundaries are markers - starting at 19th Ave and McDowel and going clockwise.

ON COI Report Lerner asks if Paper -based are included in digital. A: No. Because it would have required subjective interpretation. downloadable excel spreadsheet of what is submitted.
Neuberg gives love for the "qualitative reports" and assures the public that "your words are reaching us and we are reading them." Rich data. and a wealth of information. She asks all of us to dive deep declares it a great job.
Lerner: Asks @ndc_doug about loads of duplicative info. HE says: insight and value of the idea is what matters, not the number of times an idea has been repeated. And ultimately up to the commissioners to weigh what they value.

Now to Agenda Item #6: Update from mapping consultants - Timmons/NDC.
@timmonsgroup
1. Intro team member: Brian Kingery - Sr. consultant w/ Timmons - he conducted the training session that three of the Commissoners did not attend yesterday.
Training yesterday went well. the slide deck is NOW (not yesterday for the training!) on IRC website.
A question came up about tech support: end user support for training: "we don't anticipate providing one-on-one workshops with the public for end users.
Our goal is to add training going forward."

Lerner: Short clips up this week? A: I believe four are ready to go and generating them as we speak. That is the goal - the redistricting page on the hub will be continually updated.
