FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
RE: Repeal of Vernon City Code Section 2.90 Respecting Council Appointments
Backeround
Section 2.90 of the Vernon City Code (VCC) provides for the appointment of council members
in uncontested elections.
At the November 22, 2011 election, the voters passed a charter amendment (Measure G)
prohibiting council appointments and requiring all vacancies to be filled through elections. VCC
Section 2.90 is in conflict with the new charter provision and should be repealed to prevent
confusion.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the attached ordinance be adopted to repeal Vernon City Code Section
2.90.
