SUBJECT
Recall Petition Acceptance and Call of Special Election
Recommendation:
A. Receive Certificates of Sufficiency on the petitions to recall Council Member Diana Gonzales and
Council Member Carol Menke;
B. Adopt Resolution No. 2021-02 calling and giving notice of an all-mail ballot Special Municipal Election
to be held on Tuesday, June 1, 2021, for the submission of the question of the recall of Diana Gonzales
and Carol Menke and the election of two City Council Members to fill the vacancy if the recall prevails;
and
C. Adopt Resolution No. 2021-03 requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to
render specified services to the City relating the conduct of a Special Municipal Election to be held on
Tuesday, June 1, 2021.
Background:
On February 8, 2021, recall proponents served Council Members Diana Gonzales and Carol Menke with
Notices of Intention to Circulate a Recall Petition and filed the notice and affidavit of service with the City
Clerk Department. Council Members Gonzales and Menke filed answers to the Notices of Intention on
February 16, 2021, and on February 19, 2021, the form of the Petition was determined to meet the
statutory requirements and approved for signature gathering. Pursuant to Elections Code Section 11220
and 11221, the proponents were allowed 40 days, until March 31, 2021, to obtain the required 33
signatures for each seat (30 percent of Vernon's 110 registered voters as of the last report of registration
by the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder - County Clerk to the Secretary of State) (Attachment 1).
On February 23, 2021, the Petitions to Recall Council Members Diana Gonzales and Carol Menke were
filed with the City Clerk. The City Clerk verified the signatures and determined that the petitions were
signed by the requisite number of voters, as stated in the Certificate of Sufficiency of Recall Petition
Signatures (Attachments 2 and 3), which is submitted to the City Council pursuant to Elections Code
Section 11227.
Within 14 calendar days of the receiving of the Certificate of Sufficiency, the City Council must issue an
order calling the election. The election must be held not less than 88 days, nor more than 125 days after
the issuance of the order (May 29 - July 5, 2021). Resolution No. 2021-02 calls and gives notice of an
all-mail ballot special municipal election to be held on Tuesday, June 1, 2021, for the submission of the
question of the recall of Diana Gonzales and Carol Menke and the election of two City Council Members
to fill the vacancies if the recall prevails (Attachment 4). The nomination period for candidates is March
3, 2021 through March 18, 2021, at which time candidates may obtain nomination papers and required
filing materials from the City Clerk.
Resolution No. 2021-03 requests the services of the Los Angeles County Election Department to provide
appropriate forms, signature verification services, and prepare, print and mail official ballots and ballot
materials (Attachment 5). Elections Code Section 13307 allows candidates to prepare a candidate
statement for inclusion in the voter's pamphlet. Resolution No. 2014-64 adopting regulations regarding
candidate statements submitted to voters in a general municipal or special municipal election would
apply to this election.
Fiscal Impact:
This special election was not included in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget but it is anticipated that
Account No. 011.1003.596300 has sufficient funds to cover the cost of the election.
