A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 2004-
62 REGARDING TIE VOTES
The City Council of the City of Camarillo resolves as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Camarillo finds and declares as follows:
A. On June 9, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2004-62 providing for the conduct of a special runoff election for elective offices in the event of a tie vote at any municipal election. The Resolution applies to all subsequent elections unless repealed.
B. California Elections Code Section 15651 states that in the event of a tie vote, where two or more persons receive an equal and highest number of votes for an office, the tie may be resolved by lot, unless the City adopts a resolution calling for a special run-off election.
C. Election costs for a special election are estimated to be between $150,000 - $200,000 depending on whether the election is consolidated or stand-alone. Due to the cost of such an election, the Council wishes to repeal Resolution No. 2004-62 so that any tie vote will be resolved by lot as provided for in Elections Code Section 15651.
SECTION 2: Resolution No. 2004-62 is hereby repealed.
SECTION 3: This resolution shall apply to the next ensuring municipal election and at each municipal election thereafter.
