CC - Item 5A - City Council Vacancy - Box 070TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL CROCITY MANAGER
ROBERT KRESS, CITY ATTORNEY
RE: CITY COUNCIL VACANCY
DATE: APRIL 8, 2003
As you are aware, Councilmember Bob Bruesch has resigned from the City Council
effective March 31, 2003.
The law requires that within 30 days of March 31, 2003 or by April 30, 2003, the Council
must fill the vacancy by an appointment to the balance of the term or call a special election
for that purpose. Government Code §36512 (copy enclosed).
If a special election is called, it must be held on the next regularly established election date
not less than 114 days from the call of the special election. Practically speaking, this
means that the special election could not be held until November of this year. There is an
insufficient time period (114 days) to meet the June election date.
The Brown Act does not provide for discussion regarding the filling of the vacancy to be
in closed session.
If the Council wishes to make an appointment to the vacancy, action can be taken via the
attached draft resolution.
If the Council wishes to hold a special election, then a minute motion directing staff to
prepare, and return for adoption at a subsequent meeting, the necessary documents to call
the election.
