Anaheim has scheduled eight public meetings on the mapping of city council districts even as a lawsuit challenging the city's council election system is headed for a trial. (File photo: Anaheim resident, Gabriel Bermirez, 14, says that he sympathizes with feelings of frustration among the Latino community with city leadership and police).
