TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ana Barcia, Deputy City Clerk P
RE: Approval of a Resolution Rescinding the Submission of Ballot Measure N to
the Voters of the City as part of the General Municipal Election to be held on
April 14, 2015
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; and
2. Approve the resolution rescinding the submission of ballot Measure N to the voters of the
City of Vernon, which proposed to amend Chapter 3.3 of Article III of the City Charter,
as part of the General Municipal Election to be held on April 14, 2015.
Background
On January 6, 2015, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2015-02 ordering that measures
to amend the City Charter be submitted to the voters of the City at the April 14, 2015, General
Municipal Election.
Staff is proposing the removal of the following measure from said election due to the need to
further review and allow staff to develop relevant policies and procedures:
Measure N:
Shall Chapter 3.3 of Article III of the Vernon City Charter be amended to Yes/No
include a cap of one (1) current/active City employee to hold office as a
member of the City of Vernon City Council?
All other Measures as approved by Resolution No. 2015-02 will be submitted to the voters of the
City at the April 14, 2015, General Municipal Election.
Fiscal Impact:
The recommendation will alleviate the anticipated cost to the City related to translation and
printing costs for ballot measures.
