Analysis:
These:resolutions are needed in order to conduct the General Municipal Election,
consolidated with the County, every two years. The City Council may direct that an amended
-resolution be prepared setting forth a 400-word limit, however the cost to the candidate would
be greater; and historically the 200-word limit for Candidates' Statements hasibeen-in effect.
As Elections Official, the City Clerk is providing this word-limit information but Is not
recommending the word-limit be increased. Perpetual Resolution No. 98-40 adopted on
June 1, 1998 sets forth regulations for candidates' statements and is attached, for
informational purposes.
The City Charter provides for City elections to be held pursuant to the State Elections Code.
These resolutions comply with City Charter and State Code and must be adopted to
implement the November 7, 2006 election of four members of the City Council and City
Attorney.
