A. RESOLUTION NO. 24-35
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF RIPON, CALIFORNIA
PROVIDING FOR THE APPOINTMENT
TO THE OFFICES OF THIS CITY THAT
WERE TO BE ELECTED ON TUESDAY,
NOVEMBER 5, 2024
This resolution cancels the General
Municipal Election to be held on
November 5, 2024 and appoints the three
qualified candidates to the three open seats
as Council Members for a 4-year term.
City Clerk Roos said this is a resolution that would cancel the General Municipal Election to be held on November 5, 2024 and appoint the three qualified candidates to the three open seats as Council Members for a 4-year term. She said according to Election Code Section 10229 if the number of people who have been determined to be qualified candidates equals the number of open seats, the Council has the option to cancel the election, appoint those individuals and not allow for write-in candidates. Option 3 of that Code would be to hold the election on November 5th and to allow for write-in candidates. She said if Council would want option 1, the action would be to approve the resolution. If Council would like to hold the election, then no action would be necessary.
Council Member Uecker asked how the seating of those appointed candidates works.
