RE: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon, California, Reciting
the Fact of the General Municipal Election held on April 8, 2014, Declaring
the Result and Such Other Matters as Provided by Law
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that approval of the Resolution is exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that
CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment as this is
merely an administrative item; and
2. Adopt a Resolution declaring the results of the General Municipal Election held April 8,
2014, declaring that Luz Martinez is elected to the office of member of the City Council;
and
3. Authorize the Deputy City Clerk to deliver the Certificate of Election and administer the
oath of office to Luz Martinez.
Background
On April 8, 2014, a General Municipal Election was held for the purpose of electing one member
to the City Council for the full term of five (5) years. As of the closing of the nomination period
on January 13, 2014, at 5:30 p.m., Luz Martinez was the only official candidate. As of March
25, 2014, the City Clerk's office had not received any requests for a write-in candidate.
On March 13, 2014, the City Clerk's office mailed sixty-six (66) vote -by -mail ballots.
Subsequently, on March 29, 2014 one ballot was mailed for a new registered voter, on March 27,
2014, one ballot was mailed for an additional new registered voter. On April 8, 2014, one
provisional ballot was issued to replace a lost ballot.
There were a total of sixty-eight (68) individuals registered to vote in this election. The City
Clerk's office received twenty-five (25) ballots. All received ballots were substantiated for
signature verification, and canvassed on April 8, 2014. The results of said canvassing are
summarized in the City Clerk's Certification of Canvass, and are to be incorporated as part of the
proposed Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact.
