At the close of nominations for City Council and City Clerk on Friday January 14. 2000, the total
number of candidates for Council was three and for City Clerk one. At the close of nominations for City
Treasurer on Wednesday, January 19, 2000, the total number of candidates was one.
The provisions of Election Code § 10299 state that if any office or offices to be elected at large,
the number of persons who have been nominated for those offices does not exceed the number to be
filled at that election, the city governing body may, at a regular or special meeting, held before the
municipal election, adopt one of the following courses of action:
(1) Appoint to the office the person who has been nominated.
(2) Appoint to the office any eligible elector if no one has been nominated. (not applicable)
(3) Hold the election, if either no one, or only one person has been nominated.
As the City Election Official, I have published in the Herald, a notice that there are not more
candidates than offices to be elected, and the courses of action available (Attachment A). After the fifth
day following the date of publication (January 20, 2000), but before the 75`" day before the municipal
election, the governing body must make any appointments or the election shall be held.
At this time the Council may choose to follow the above suggestions. If the Council chooses to
take no action the Election will proceed as scheduled.
