STUDY SESSION
1. The City Clerk Joan L. Flynn presented an overview of Government Code 8635-8644 (The
California Emergency Services Act — Preservation of Local Government) for
informational purposes and identified options that Council may, if desired, choose to
pursue at a future date.
City Clerk Joan L. Flynn shared a PowerPoint presentation titled California Emergency Services Act -
Preservation of Local Government, Government Code 8635-8644 with the following title pages:
Government Code 8635, Government Code 8636 and 8637, Government Code 8638, Government
Code 8639 and 8640, Government Code 8641, Government Code 8642 and 8643, and Government
Code 8644. City Clerk Flynn closed her presentation by sharing how some other California cities have
planned for the preservation of their local government in the event of an act of war, state or local
emergency. She reminded Council that this presentation was only for informational purposes.
Council members discussed that it would be wise to establish a plan because dealing with an
emergency is hard enough without also having to address who is to temporarily step in to represent
injured or deceased Council members. Discussion centered on local individuals who might be selected
to step up. It was noted that if it was a geographic emergency such as a major earthquake, these local
individuals could also be affected by the emergency and not able to serve, and that maybe the third
person should be from another city as permitted by the Code.

City Clerk Flynn reminded Council that there are only three situations this plan would address: state-
wide or local emergency, or an act of war. She further stated that some cities have stipulated that
appointees must have been former council members or current Board or Commission members. City
Clerk Flynn also clarified that if the Council wished to proceed with a plan, there would have to be an H
Item and then a resolution which would list appointees (who have been vetted) in order of priority and
this would be updated every two years.
