MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: December 20 , 2016 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Peggy Kuo , City Clerk SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO . 16-5226 PROVIDING FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE NOMINEES TO THE OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL THAT WERE TO BE ELECTED ON TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 2017 AND CANCELLING THE CITY'S GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION ON THAT DATE RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution No . 16-5226 (Attachment A) providing for the appointment of the two nominees to the office of City Cou ncil that were to be elected on Tuesday , March 7 , 2017 and cancelling the City's General Municipal Election on that date. BACKGROUND: 1. On Octobe r 4 , 2016 , City Council adopted resolutions for the City to conduct a stand-alone General Municipal Election on March 7 , 2017 to fill two Councilmember seats with terms of March 2017-March 2021 . 2 . Per California Elections Code Sections 10223-10224, the nomination process began on November 14, 2016 , with the last day to file nomination papers being December 9, 2016 . If an incumbent fails to file nomination papers by Decembe r 9, the nomination period is automatically extended to the deadline of December 12 , 2016 . ANALYSIS: As of the close of business on Friday , December 9 , 2016 , the deadline for filing nomination papers , both incumbents for those offices, but only those two incumbents, had filed the required nomination papers . Under the California Elections Code 10229, if by the nomination filing deadline , the number of persons who have been nom inated for those offices does not exceed the number to be filled at that election , and if there are also no qualified ballot measures, City Council December 20 , 2016 Page 2 of 2 then the City's Election Official (City Clerk) shall submit a certificate of these facts (Attachment B) to the governing body of the City and request the governing body that at a regular or special meeting held before the municipal election , to adopt one of the following courses of action : 1 . Appoint to the office the person or persons who has or have been nominated ; 2. Appoint to the office any eligible voter if no one has been nominated (not applicable here); or 3 . Determine to hold the election if either no one or only one person has been nominated (not applicable here). The City Council 's decision must occur by the 751h day (i.e., December 22 , 2016) before the municipal election , otherwise if no person has been appointed to office pursuant to actions (1) or (2) above , the municipal election shall be held . At this time , City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolut ion and exercise its option to appoint the nom inees to those offices and to cancel the March 7 , 2017 General Municipal Election . CITY STRATEGIC GOALS: Adoption of the resolution providing for the appointment of the two nominees to the office of City Council that were to be elected on Tuesday, March 7 , 2017 and cancelling the City's General Municipal Election on that date will promote City's Strategic Goals of Good Governance . FISCAL IMPACT: While staff has yet to receive invoices for services and activities already undertaken relating to the 2017 General Municipal Election , we do not anticipate the expenses to exceed $10 ,000 , in fact, it could be substantially less. As a result, City Council could see a savings of approximately $80 ,000 in the City 's General Fund for the Fiscal Year 2016-17 City Budget, due to our initial budget of $97 ,935 for the election .
