STAFF REPORT
Date: August 20, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council;
From: Administration Department
Presentation By: Ciara Wakefield, City Clerk
Summary
Subject: Consideration of Action Pursuant to Elections Code Section 10229 for Council Districts 1, 2, and 3
Recommendation: A. Adopt a Resolution appointing the nominated candidates to office; B. Adopt a Resolution directing that the election be held; or C. Take no action
Fiscal Impact: None
Background:
Per California Elections Code Section 10229, when there is only one or no nominee for an elective office, the City Council may appoint the nominated candidate to office or direct that the election be held as scheduled. In this case, there is one nominee for each of the Council seats in Districts 1, 2, and 3.
Accordingly, the Council may appoint the nominated candidates to office or proceed with the election.
Analysis:
The City is scheduled to hold a Consolidated General Election on November 3, 2026, for the purpose of electing councilmembers for Districts 1, 2, and 3. The nomination period closed on Thursday August 6, 2026 with only one candidate nominated for each of the three Council Districts. See Attachment 1, the August 11, 2026, letter from the Sutter County Registrar of Voters.
The nominated candidates are:
• Dave Shaw (District 1)
• Marc Boomgaarden (District 2), and
• Mike Pasquale (District 3)
Under these circumstances and pursuant to Elections Code 10229, the City Council may take one of the following courses of action:
1. Appoint to office the person who has been nominated;
2. Appoint an eligible elector to office if no person has been nominated; or
3. Direct that the election be held if either no person or only one person has been nominated.
In the event the person nominated is appointed to office, the person appointed shall qualify and take office and serve exactly as if elected. Additionally, the City Clerk shall not accept for filing any statement of write-in candidacy after the appointment is made.
The City Clerk has complied with the requirements of Elections Code Section 10229 by providing the City Council with her Certification (Attachment 2) and by posting the required notice.
Accordingly, the City Council has the option to adopt a Resolution appointing the nominated candidates to office (Option 1), adopt a resolution directing that the election be held (Option 2), or take no action (Option 3).
Fiscal Impact:
The cost for election services for the three Council seats is estimated to be $50,000+/-. The amount is included in the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026/27; however, should the election not be held the cost of the election would potentially be a savings to the City.
Recommendation:
A. Adopt a Resolution appointing the nominated candidates to office; B. Adopt a Resolution directing that the election be held; or C. Take no action
