February 17, 2015, declaring that Melissa Ybarra is elected to the office of member of the
City Council; and
3. Authorize the City Clerk to deliver the Certificate of Election and administer the oath of
office to Melissa Ybarra.

November 24, 2014, at 5:30 p.m., Melissa Ybarra was the only official candidate. As of February
3, 2015, the City Clerk's office had not received any requests for a write-in candidate.
On January 27, 2015, the City Clerk's office mailed sixty-three (63) vote -by -mail ballots. No
additional ballots or provisional ballots were issued.
There were a total of sixty-three (63) individuals registered to vote in this election. The City

2015; with a second canvassing on February 23, 2015 being required for one (1) ballot that had
not been processed for signature verification in time for the first canvassing. No additional
postmarked ballots were received by the City Clerk's Office three (3) days after the election,
pursuant to California Elections Code Section 4103.
The results of said canvassing are summarized in the City Clerk's Certification of Canvass, and
