Recommendation:
Discussion/Action Filling of City Council Vacancies Created by the Recall of Councilmembers Raul Ureña and Gilberto Manzanarez
Background:
On November 16, 2023, local proponents seeking the removal of Council Members Urena and Manzanarez timely filed in the Calexico City Clerk's Office two recall petitions. After the City Clerk's Office accepted both recall petitions for filing, the petitions were referred to the Imperial County Registrar of Voters, who conducted formal signature verification with official County voter records. The verification determined both petitions contained sufficient voter signatures to qualify both recalls for the ballot.
On December 20, 2023, the City Council adopted the required resolutions to schedule the recall special election for April 16, 2024. On May 8, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution certifying the results of the successful recall of Councilmembers Ureña and Manzanarez.
Discussion and Analysis:
Due to the results of the recalled Councilmembers Ureña and Manzanarez, the City Council is now required to fill the two vacancies left.
Fiscal Impact:
None
