In advance of the first City Council district elections in November 2018, City staff have developed an interactive lookup tool that allows residents to quickly confirm their Council district. Users can zoom to their area of interest or enter a specific address, similar to other web-based maps.

The City's website at menlopark.org/districtelections also has information on the process that led to the creation of the city council districts. The City Clerk has posted information online at menlopark.org/elections about the November 6, 2018, election and provides information and links to each district's candidates. Staff attended an educational conference hosted by ESRI, the company whose GIS software is used by the city to track all of our public infrastructure. The conference provided insights into the GIS software we have implemented and was the inspiration for tools such as this, the water district look up tool  and more coming soon.
