Huang, DDS, Mayor Gretchen Shepherd Romey, Vice Mayor Susan Jakubowski, Council Member Steve Talt, Council Member Ken Ude, Council Member TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Marcella Marlowe, Ph.D., City Manager BY: Amanda Fowler, Assistant to the City Manager/Acting City Clerk DATE: June 28, 2019 SUBJECT: APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS PERTAINING TO THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 5, 2019 STRATEGIC PLAN CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS Engaged and Connected Residents Efficient, Responsive, and Effective City Service Fiscally Responsible and Transparent City Government BACKGROUND The General Municipal Election will be held on November 5, 2019 for the purpose of electing two members to the City Council for full terms. The two (2) incumbent members of the City Council whose terms are expiring are Steven W. Huang and Steve Talt. Prior to the holding of an election, the City must adopt three resolutions in relation thereto. The first resolution calls and gives notice of holding an election. The second resolution requests the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to allow consolidation with the statewide election being held on the same day and to direct the County Elections Department to render services; and the third resolution adopts regulations for the candidates’ statements. In 2016, the City Council gave direction to change the General Municipal Election dates to align with the dates of statewide elections in even years beginning in 2022, which will have the effect of extending two terms of office to five years pursuant to SB 415. The final step in this process will be to adopt an ordinance to formally change the General Municipal Election date, which will be brought to Council for their consideration next month. DISCUSSION Significant dates for the General Municipal Election are as follows: July 15, 2019 – Filing period opens for nomination papers August 9, 2019 – Last day to file nomination papers August 14, 2019 – Last day to file nomination papers should an incumbent not file August 15, 2019 - Secretary of State to determine Order of Names on Ballot August/September, 2019 – Candidates Orientation Workshop (to be determined) September 6, 2019 – Voters may request vote by mail ballots with regular application October 21, 2019 – Last day to register to vote for this election November 5, 2019 – ELECTION DAY Resolution No. R-19-18 “Calling and Giving Notice” must be submitted to the County no later than 120 days prior to the election (July 8, 2019). This resolution is to call the City’s General Municipal Election to elect two City Council members. The resolution includes language that would allow - but not require - the City to submit a ballot measure or measures to the voters at the same election. A filing fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) shall be paid by the candidate upon the filing of nomination papers. Resolution No. R-19-19 requests the Board of Supervisors to consolidate the City’s election with other elections on the same date the County will conduct and to permit the County Elections Department to take any and all steps necessary for the holding of the election. The services to be provided by the County Registrar of Voters include, but are not limited to, the appointment of all required election officers and establishment of polling places; publishing the notice of appointment of election officers, preparing and mailing the official and sample ballots including candidates’ statements, process vote by mail ballots; supply all needed materials for polling places; conduct the election, canvass the election returns and certify the results; and in the event of a tie vote between two or more persons receiving an equal and the highest number of votes for the offices to be voted for, to determine the tie by lot. The City would reimburse the County for the costs of providing the services. Resolution No. R-19-20 adopts regulations for candidates pertaining to candidates’ statements submitted to the voters. The regulations limit the candidate’s statement to 200 words describing the candidate’s education and qualifications expressed by the candidate.
