BickerstafF <br />Heath Delgado Acosta LLP <br />Governmental Focus — We have substantial legal practice experience with Texas local <br />government entities and thus are sensitive to the complex legal issues they face -- <br />including the often -unique election, governance, and open government law issues dealt <br />with on a regular basis by cities, counties, and other types of local governments in Texas. <br />Higher Capacity— With 24 attorneys and approximately 20 support staff, our firm is one <br />of the largest in Texas with extensive, longstanding, statewide redistricting practice <br />experience. We will assign a dedicated team of attorneys, GIS specialists, and other <br />support staff to ensure the full redistricting process is completed according to the City's <br />schedule and specific needs. <br />Customized Approach — We recognize the redistricting needs of municipalities will vary <br />greatly, which is why we will work with the City Council to prepare plans based on the <br />specific concerns of the City. The redistricting process typically occurs only once per <br />decade; therefore, it is vital forthe City to capitalize on this opportunity to address a range <br />of practical concerns under federal, state, and local law, some of which may include: <br />Establishment of Process Within Home Rule City Charter Requirements and <br />Redistricting Commission Structure <br />Rebalance of Population in City Council Districts <br />Review and Legal Analysis of Minority Majority Districts, if any <br />Election Precinct Coordination and Adjustment <br />Other city charter -specific requirements <br />The Firm will work closely with the City to assess specific needs and deliver a final product <br />that will be useful for the decade following the current redistricting cycle. <br />Technology — The Firm utilizes the latest technology in order to meet client needs in <br />several areas, including: <br />Redistricting Software and Quality Maps — The Firm uses Edge202O Redistricting <br />Software to evaluate the 2020 Census data in order to provide clients with an <br />Initial Assessment. In previous years, we have used AutoBound Redistricting <br />Software, and Edge202O represents the next generation of this redistricting <br />software developed by Citygate GIS. Edge202O exports seamlessly with ESRI map <br />products and allows the export of all redistricting data for use in most standard <br />mapping software. The redistricting software is uniquely specialized to perform all <br />types of analyses required for the development and evaluation of redistricting <br />plans and exports data that is compatible with ArcGIS 10.0 software. In addition, <br />we have the capability to produce a variety of printed map sizes, including large - <br />format printing through the use of an in-house plotter. Our GIS staff can also <br />2 <br />
