or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a
"project" as defined by CEQA Guidelines section 15378; and
B. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon, California, Calling and
Giving Notice of an All -Mail Ballot General Municipal Election to be held on Tuesday,
April 10, 2018 for the Election of a Certain Officer as required by the provisions of the
Charter of the City of Vernon; and
C. Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon, California, Requesting the
Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to Render Specified Services to the
City Relating to the Conduct of the General Municipal Election to be Held on Tuesday,
April 10, 2018.
Background
With regards to the first proposed resolution, in accordance with Article XV, Section 2.118 of the
Vernon Municipal Code, the City of Vernon will conduct an all -mail ballot General Municipal
Election ("election") on April 10, 2018, for the purpose of electing one member of the City Council
