Councilmember Villegas, acknowledge that being an elected official is a lot of
work; direct ward elections would take away rights of all City residents to elect
their representatives.

at least a year; possibility for reform and consider Los Angeles model;
strengthen the residency requirement; supports Mayor Pro Tern Martinez option
for campaign reform; voters to decide if they would like full -time or part -time

office; motion to direct staff to prepare documents to place on the ballot -
change minimum residency requirement and campaign reform; option for full -
time or part -time elected officials; and create task force to decide whether mayor

Councilmember Solorio, open to discussing some areas and Charter in general;
support placing on the ballot in November of 2018 and not as part of a special
election; should not extend the term of any current member; residency
requirement is defined in case law; special election may be cost prohibitive.

surplus budget may have been due to unfilled vacancies; need to get finances in
order in addition to using enterprise funds to fund other operations. Also, noted
that unions have traditionally endorsed candidates, now fewer unions involved.

on proposed motion.
Mayor Pro Tern Martinez, noted that several changes were proposed in the past
such as reform of Personnel Board, in addition to term limits; supports matter
placed on the 2018 General Election to reduce cost. Also, staff should consider
vacant funded positions be consolidated into one account that all departments
can tap into account; noted that retirement of long term employees not funded;
matters should be discussed and considered since planning is time consuming.
City Attorney Carvalho, noted that any Charter Amendments need to be
approved by the City Council no later than 88 days before Election Day.
Councilmember Tinajero, stated for the record that elected officials that are
termed out would not benefit from term extensions; community needs to decide
or residents may consider initiative process.
MOTION: Direct staff to place on the ballots following charter
amendments - increase minimum residency requirement, campaign
reform, option to have full -time or part -time elected officials and task force
to review option to have directly elected Mayor.
