DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Consideration of Resolution appointing nominees to the Office of Councilmember for District 3 and District 4 and cancelation of the November 5, 2024, General Municipal Election as authorized in California Election Code Section 10229 due to not having more candidates than offices to be elected
City Clerk Buxkemper presented a report explaining that during the Election's open nomination period, only one qualified candidate was nominated for each District 3 and District 4. As there were no more candidates than offices available, she reviewed the options available for the City Council to take action under California Election Code 10229, which included the option to either appoint to the office the person(s) nominated and cancel the election or determine to hold the election with only the two incumbent nominees.
Buxkemper further detailed that if Council chose to make appointments, the person(s) appointed shall qualify and take office and serve exactly as if elected, and that no write in candidates would then be accepted, as provided for in the Election Code. She also confirmed the posting and publishing of the required Certificate of Facts, as required by City Council Minutes -August 21 , 2024 Page 1 of 2
