Redistricting Archive
Collected here are various historical odds and ends relating to the decennial redistricting process.
A note regarding years: A particular vintage of Supervisorial Districts is often identified by just the decade of the decennial Census (e.g. 2000), though in fact it wouldn't have been adopted until the following year (e.g. 2001). You will see both versions of these years represented in these historical documents -- both versions represent the same "vintage".

Redistricting 2010
Preparation:
2011-03-09 Initial Fact-Finding 
2011-04-04 Population Change 2000-2010 Per District
2011-04-04 Scenario #0 "Existing" (2001 boundaries, 2010 populations)
Initial Scenarios:
2011-04-06 Scenario #1 "Best Match"
2011-04-06 Scenario #2 "Minimize Displacement"
2011-04-06 Scenario #3 "Unify Manteca SD5 (Fails)"
2011-04-06 Scenario #4 "Unify Manteca SD3"
2011-04-06 Scenario #5 "Unify Manteca SD3 Clarify N/S Stockton SD1/2"
2011-04-06 Scenario #6 "Unify Everywhere Simultaneously"
Attempting an actual application of the "Delta in 3 districts" desired criteria:
2011-04-25 Scenario "Delta 3-Way Versus Criteria" 0.975%
Various alternative approaches:
2011-04-28 Scenario "4-28-11 Best Match A 0.107%" 04/28/2011
2011-04-28 Scenario "4-28-11 Best Match B 0.107%" 04/28/2011
2011-04-28 Scenario "4-28-11 Best Match G 0.087%" 04/28/2011
2011-04-28 Scenario "4-28-11 Fix All 6BGs 0.208%" 04/28/2011
2011-04-28 Scenario "4-28-11 JR 1/2 3BGs 2.804%" 04/28/2011
2011-04-28 Scenario "4-28-11 JR 1/2 6BGs 0.278%" 04/28/2011
A strategy was proposed to consider the largest outlier SD5 in isolation first, to better direct the remaining smaller adjustments if a preferred SD5 approach could be selected..
2011-05-04 Scenario "Fix Just SD5 - Existing"
2011-05-04 Scenario "Fix Just SD5 - Along Yosemite"
2011-05-04 Scenario "Fix Just SD5 - Backout Manteca"
2011-05-04 Scenario "Fix Just SD5 - Entire Delta"
2011-05-04 Scenario "Fix Just SD5 - Lathrop Delta"
2011-05-04 Scenario "Fix Just SD5 - Ripon Escalon"
Using the "Along Yosemite" approach for SD5 (see above), a full County-wide scenario:
2011-05-04 Scenario "20110504 0.699%"
More County-wide scenarios based off various SD5 approaches:
2011-05-11 Scenario "20110511A 0.405%"
2011-05-11 Scenario "20110511B 0.977%"
2011-05-11 Scenario "20110511C 0.514%"
Investigative scenarios for various strategy proposals:
2011-05-13 Scenario "Manteca 3-Way" 0.731%
2011-05-13 Scenario "South County 6" 0.240%
2011-05-13 Scenario "South County 7" 0.050%> (best known match to ideal)
2011-05-13 Scenario "Stripes" 0.830%
2011-05-13 Scenario "Unify Neat Lines" 1.447%

Alternative version of the 20110504 scenario:
2011-06-20 Scenario "20110504(mod20110620)(step2) 0.173%
The scenario approved by RAC (based off 20110504 work.. based off SD5 "Along Yosemite" work):
2011-07-12 Scenario "20110712(step3)" (As Later Approved) 6.147%
Final Adoption Process:

Initial Scenarios:
2001-04-25 Scenario #2 (as later adopted)
Manteca unification strategy considerations:
2001-04-27 Scenario "Manteca in 1"
unification under SD2 was not considered due to contiguity/compactness constraints.
