BACKGROUND:
On June 4, 2024, the City Council called for a general municipal election to be held on November 5, 2024 to elect one Council Member from District 2 and one Council Member from District 5. At the close of the nomination period on August 9, 2024, there was only one candidate for City Council District 2: Ruth M. Low, and only one candidate for City Council District 5: Stan Liu. Therefore, on August 20, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-36 (attachment 1), cancelling the election and appointing the two candidates to the offices to which each was nominated. The appointed officials will serve in office exactly as if they had been elected, starting their new term with the administration of the oath of office.
