LEGriL AKA~~SIS
The Clty Attorney has been requested to explore the
posslblllty of placing a measure before the voters on
Aprll 12, 1983. At the present tlme, there does not appear
to be a speclflec statutory procedure for placing a measure
before the voters because of the close proXlmlty to the
elec~lon. However, the City of~San~a MODlca, as a charter
Cl~y, may alter es~abllshed procedures set forth ln the
Elec~lons Code. As Clty Charter Sectlons 1403 anc 1404
clearly indlcate, the procedures of the Electlons Code apply
unless other~lse provlded by ordlnance of the Clty Counc:l.
Therefore, based upon the prellminary analysls of the Clty
Attorney, a measure could be placed before the voters only lf
a procedural orClnance was first adopted.
The Clty Attorney recommends agalDst placlng any mea-
sure on the ballot at the present tlme for the followlng
reasons:
1. The validity of a procedural ordlnance adopted so
close to the election would be subJect to challenge.
2. Inadequate time exists to explore fully the legal
options avallable to the City Counell. These include the
type of tax increase, its duration, and amount, the amount of
a Gann override, varlOUS bondlng devices, existlng insurance
coverage, and federal and state flnancial asslstance.
3. Sample ballot are currently scheduled to be printed
on February 28, 1983. The measure, arguments in favor of and
against, and rebuttal arguments must be filed 10 days before
the prlntlng to meet a ten day publlC inspection period in
the Elections Code. (The Clty Attorney does not have an
opinlon on whether or not this 10 day examLnatlon period can
be changed.) Thus, very llttle time exists to prepare the
appropriate measures, resolutions, and ordinances, and pro-
vlde the public wlth a meaningful opportunlty to present
arguments. In addltlon, the amount of tlme necessary to
draft a measure will depend upon the type of measure or
measures, if any, that the Clty Council deslres to place
before the voters.
