The City of Palm Desert Completes Shift to Five-District System with Tripepi Smith’s Redistricting Outreach Support
Following the City Council’s unanimous decision to adopt a five-district system, the City of Palm Desert recently completed its redistricting process with assistance from Tripepi Smith, the National Demographics Corporation (NDC) and Palm Desert city staff.
An expert in the local government sphere, Tripepi Smith has a proven track record in tackling redistricting projects and collaborating with NDC to support various agencies in their redistricting efforts.
“Tripepi Smith is proud to have assisted the City of Palm Desert drive community engagement in the redistricting process,” said Jennifer Nentwig, Tripepi Smith Principal. “Outreach and engagement are essential in any redistricting process, and it was wonderful to help the City spread the word and encourage community participation.”
Working closely with Palm Desert staff and NDC, Tripepi Smith implemented outreach tactics aligning with the City’s broader objectives of providing public information and drawing accurate maps. These tactics included direct community outreach, website creation, social media management, digital and radio advertising and press release writing.
“Tripepi Smith’s support helped us effectively connect with various sectors of the Palm Desert population and gather their feedback on five-district maps,” said Anthony Mejia, Palm Desert City Clerk. “The breadth and depth of knowledge that Tripepi Smith provided ensured that our residents were informed and engaged, ultimately enabling the City to adopt a new map and begin the transition to a five-district system.”
