SUMMARY OF RESOLUTIONS

8686 (CCS).
This Resolution would repeal Resolution Numbers 8585
(CCS) and 8686 (CCS), which is one of the options that the city
council can take in response to the Referendum Petition against
Resolution Numbers 8685 (CCS) and 8686 (CCS). If the City council
passes this Resolution, no other Resolution need be adopted with
respect to this matter. No election will be held.
2. Resolution Callina and Givina Notice of the SDecial

Aaainst Resolution Numbers 8685 (CCS) and 8686 (CCS).
This Resolution provides that a Special Municipal

facilitate the election. The city council must pass this
Resolution if it wishes to place the Referendum regarding
Resolution Numbers 8685 (CCS) and 8686 (CCS) before the voters at
an election other than the next regular municipal election. In
passing this Resolution, the City council must also select an
election date.
This Resolution also submits to the voters the Referendum
against Resolution Numbers 8685 (CCS) and 8686 (CCS), which the
City council adopted on November 23, 1993.
3. Resolution Reauestina the Los Anaeles County Board of
Supervisors to Consolidate a Special Municipal Election with the
- -
statewide Direct Primary Election To Be Held On June 7, ~994.
If the City Council decides to set a special municipal
election and consolidate it with the statewide direct primary
election on June 7, 1994, the adoption of this resolution would act
as an official request for the action by the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors to facilitate the consolidation.
4. Resolution Reauestina Election Services from the County.
This Resolution authorizes the city Clerk to request
various election services from the County to assist in such tasks
as distributing sample ballots.
5. Resolution Authorizing city councilmernbers to File
Written Arauments Reaardina the Referendum.
The purpose of this Resolution is to give members of the
city Council an opportunity to submit arguments against the
Referendum regarding Resolution Numbers 8685 (CCS) and 8686 (CCS).
By virtue of Elections Code Sections 4015 and 4057, the City
councilor its members authorized by the City Council can submit
arguments against a ballot measure. If the city Council desires to
permit its members to submit arguments against any proposition, the
members so authorized should be inserted in sections 1 and 2.
Elections Code section 4015.5 authorizes the submittal of
rebuttal arguments if the legislative body, not later than the day
on which it calls an election, adopts the provisions of Elections
resolutions; or (2) set an election on the resolutions. 1 If the
matter is set for an election, under Elections Code section 4055,
the City Council shall submit the matter to the voters:
either at the next regular municipal election
occurring not less than 88 days after the
order of the legislative body or at a special
election called for the purpose not less than
88 days after the order the of the legislative
body.
The City Council has the option of setting the referendum.
election for the next municipal election in November, 1994 or at a
special election not less than 88 days beyond its order. Assuming
City Council action on March 8, 1994, the special election could be
set for June 6, 1994 or some date thereafter.
The Statewide
primary Election is currently set for Tuesday, June 7, 1994, and a
special municipal election could be consolidated with that
election.
1 It is also important to note that pursuant to Elections Code
Section 4051, the filing of the Referendum petition suspends the
effective date of the resolutions. If the city Council repeals the
resolutions or if it fails at an election to obtain a majority of
the votes, under Elections Code section 4055, the City council
cannot again enact the resolutions, or substantially similar
resolutions, for a period of one year from the date of repeal or
voter disapproval.
Code section 4015.5. In connection with the 1981 General Municipal
Election, the City Council adopted Resolution Number 6180 (CCS)
adopting the provisions of Elections Code Section 4015.5. The
resolution provided in Section 2: "That the provisions of Section
1 shall apply at the next ensuing municipal election and at each
municipal election thereafter, unless repealed by the legislative
body." Thus, unless the city council repeals Resolution Number
6180 (CCS), the authors of the argument in favor of or against the
Referendum will be permitted to prepare a rebuttal to any argument
against their position.
6. Resolution Authorizinq The City Clerk To Obtain Specified
services To The City Relating To The Conduct Of The Municipal
Election.
This resolution would permit the city Clerk to obtain services
from the firm of Martin & Chapman Co. for all necessary services
and supplies which cannot be obtained from the County in a
consolidated or concurrent election.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the city Council either
repeal Resolution Numbers 8685 (CCS) and 8686 (CCS) or call an
election in the manner required by law.
