Officer and a Resolution Requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to Render Specified
Services to the City Relating to the Conduct of the Special Municipal Election

Election of a City Councilmember to fill the unexpired term of former Councilmember Yvette Woodruff -Perez; and

to the city relating to the conduct of the Special Municipal Election to be held on October 15, 2019.
Background:
On October 15, 2019, The City of Vernon will conduct a Special Municipal Election ("election') for the purpose of
electing one member of the City Council to fill the unexpired term of former Councilmember Yvette Woodruff -Perez.
The City Council is required to adopt a resolution calling for the special election.
In addition, the City Clerk's office will require the Los Angeles County Election Department to prepare and furnish the
City various listings and computer records of the names and addresses of eligible registered voters in the City of Vernon,
