MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Craig Steele, Assistant City Attorney
cc: Donal O'Callaghan, City Administrator rt/2
Laurence S. Wiener, City Attorney
DATE: January 27, 2010
SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance to Establish the Date a City Council Term Begins in the
Event a Councilmember is Appointed in an Uncontested Election
INTRODUCTION
Under the existing provisions of the Vernon City Code, if no person or only one person is
nominated to run for an elective City office at a municipal election, the City Council has the
power to appoint an eligible elector or the individual nominated to the office and cancel the
election. Currently, the date that new City Council term would commence is not specifically
stated. This proposed ordinance would clarify that issue.
DISCUSSION
This ordinance provides that when an individual is appointed to office during an uncontested
election, that person's term will start on the date of the next regular City Council meeting
immediately following the date the election would have been held. Thus, if the City Council
decides to cancel this year's regular municipal election and appoint the nominee to the City
Council, that person's new term of office would begin on April 19, 2010. This ordinance would
apply only in the limited circumstance of an uncontested election.
PROCEDURE
Section 4.3 of the City's Charter provides that ordinances relating to elections shall become
effective immediately upon adoption and may be introduced and adopted at the same meeting.
Therefore, if the City Council chooses to adopt the proposed ordinance, the appropriate motion
would be to introduce and adopt the ordinance. No second reading is required. Upon an
affirmative vote of the majority of the City Council, the ordinance will then become effective
immediately.
