CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
December 22, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Victor Ponto, City Attorney and Christy Marie Lopez, Assistant City Attorney SUBJECT: Consideration of Resolutions Calling a Special Election For Filling a Vacancy on the City Council

BACKGROUND
Councilmember Michael Hurles was elected to serve a four (4) year term as a City Councilmember in the November 2024 general election, On October 11, 2025, Councilmember Hurles resigned. Due to his resignation, there is a vacancy on the City Council. Per the Government Code, the City Council must fill the vacancy by calling a special election.

DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 36512 describes the actions to be taken in connection with a vacancy in an office. It states that if a vacancy occurs in an elective office, the Council shall either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy. However, in the event that the appointment would result in a majority of the members serving on the Council having been appointed, the City Council call a special election. (Government Code Section 36512(d)(1).)
It should be noted that Government Code Section 36512 provides when the City fills the vacancy by special election, the “person elected to fill a vacancy holds office for the unexpired term of the former incumbent.” (Government Code Section 36512(b)(1).) Councilmember Hurles’ term would have expired in January of 2029.

Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the following proposed resolutions: (1) Resolution calling the Special Election to fill the vacancy and to be held on June 2, 2026; (2) Resolution requesting that this Special Election be consolidated with the Statewide Primary Election being held by the County on June 2, 2026; (3) Resolution concerning procedures for candidate statements; and (4) Resolution concerning procedures in the case of a tie vote.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt resolutions calling for a special municipal election to fill the vacancy on the City Council and authorize the City Clerk as follows:

1. Resolution calling the Special Election to fill the vacancy to be held on June 2, 2026; and

2. Resolution requesting that this Special Election be consolidated with the Statewide Primary Election being held by the County on June 2, 2026; and

3. Resolution concerning procedures for candidate statements; and

4. Resolution concerning procedures in the case of a tie vote; and

5. Authorize the City Clerk to finalize and make such modifications to these Resolutions as may be required by Kern County and applicable law, subject to the City Attorney’s approval as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approximate costs for a special election to fill the vacancy that is consolidated with the Statewide Primary Election held by the County on June 2, 2026 is approximately $25,000 including printing costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The adoption of the proposed resolutions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3) since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

The City Clerk shall at that time and place resolve the tie votes by lot (defined below). b) By Special Election: The legislative body may resolve a tie vote by conducting a special runoff election involving those candidates who receive an equal number of votes. A special runoff election shall be held only if the legislative body adopts provisions of Section 15651 (b) of the Elections Code prior to conducting the election resulting in the tie vote. All future elections conducted by said legislative body shall be resolved likewise, unless the legislative body later repeals the order for the conduct of a special runoff election.

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of California City ("City Council") desires that any tie vote resulting from the June 2, 2026 General Municipal Election be resolved by lot.

SECTION 2. That the City Council has the authority to resolve tie votes by lot, by implementing various methods of chance, including, but not limited to, a coin toss, generation of random number, or drawing of names.
