34

Item number two consideration of an action pursuant to

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,560
elections code section one zero two two nine for council districts one two and

36
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,890
three that must be you that's me good evening mayor and council this will be

37
00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:32,800
brief one and two touch bases with you regarding the November 2026 election as

38
00:02:33,250 --> 00:02:37,650
you know the city is scheduled to hold a consolidated general election on

39
00:02:37,650 --> 00:02:43,530
November 3rd 2026 for the purposes of election electing council members for

40
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:51,690
districts 1, 2, and 3. The nomination period for this election closed on Thursday, August 6th,

41
00:02:51,690 --> 00:02:56,010
and only one candidate was nominated for each of the three council districts.

42
00:02:57,550 --> 00:03:03,190
On August 11th, the city received a certificate of facts from the Sutter County Registrar,

43
00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:09,470
our voters confirming this information, and shortly thereafter, I as the city clerk

44
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:16,790
certified that there were no more than one candidate for each office. That being

45
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:21,670
said, the nominated candidates are Dave Shaw for District 1, Mark Boomgarden

46
00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:27,350
District 2, and Mike Pasquale for District 3. Under these circumstances and

47
00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:35,470
pursuant to elections code 10229, the City Council may take one of the

48
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:42,610
following courses of action. A, you can choose to appoint to office the person who has been

49
00:03:42,610 --> 00:03:50,590
nominated. B, you can direct that we go forward with the election regardless. Or C, you can

50
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:58,330
take no action. In the event that council chooses to appoint council members to these

51
00:03:58,330 --> 00:04:04,410
offices, the person appointed shall qualify and take office and serve exactly as if

52
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:10,910
they were elected. Additionally, I will not be accepting any write-in

53
00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:16,690
candidates after this appointment is made. So I, as a city clerk, have compiled

54
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:23,390
the requirements for elections code 10229 by providing the city council

55
00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:30,010
and certifying there's not more than one candidate per office. And now the

56
00:04:30,010 --> 00:04:37,350
council has the option to either adopt a resolution to nominate and appoint the

57
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:42,850
candidates that are nominated to move forward with the election or to take no

58
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:48,170
action. One note I want to make before the council takes action is that we

59
00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:51,990
because we consolidate the election with Sutter County we typically spend

60
00:04:51,990 --> 00:05:03,130
and around $12,000 per seat for those services. And if we decide not to go forward with the

61
00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:10,030
election, we're looking to save at minimum $36,000 for the election, plus all the other

62
00:05:10,030 --> 00:05:16,030
incidentals that might come our way for that process. So we typically will, in the

63
00:05:16,030 --> 00:05:19,890
case where we have three council seats open, we'll budget for 50 just to be safe.

64
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:22,150
and we did budget for 50 this year.

65
00:05:22,950 --> 00:05:25,410
So there's, if we decide not to move forward

66
00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:28,690
with the election, that's what the council wishes to do.

67
00:05:28,770 --> 00:05:30,490
And then there is potential savings there.

68
00:05:30,810 --> 00:05:33,610
So we don't have to pay that county for that election.

69
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:37,050
So I'm happy to answer any questions.

70
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:38,950
Thank you for the presentation.

71
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:40,330
Any questions from the council?

72
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:44,790
Seeing none, any comment from the public?

73
00:05:47,470 --> 00:05:48,490
No public comment.

74
00:05:48,730 --> 00:05:49,450
No public comment.

75
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:51,110
One thing I do want to mention too

76
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:59,050
is if you do plan to vote on appoint people you can't vote for yourself. So we

77
00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:05,250
would vote for district one and council member Shaw would have to recuse

78
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:09,770
himself from that particular vote and then council member two and so on. Okay.

79
00:06:10,510 --> 00:06:15,870
So privilege of the chair what we'll do is we'll go district by district and that

80
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:19,290
way we can document and we'll do roll call vote and we that way we can

81
00:06:19,290 --> 00:06:25,850
document the abstentions. All right. Any further comment before we get going?

82
00:06:26,810 --> 00:06:34,670
All right. Yeah. I would like to make a comment before we move forward. I've worked with most

83
00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:41,290
of you for quite a while now. And I know jokingly I say once in a while I enjoy keeping the

84
00:06:41,290 --> 00:06:45,960
band together. I know you've heard. I beat that one to death. But I think what we're

85
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:53,620
looking at right now is pretty important. We've got three districts and those three districts

86
00:06:54,120 --> 00:07:01,500
ran unopposed. And what that speaks to me as a citizen of this city is to the caliber

87
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:07,340
of the candidate that's running and the job that you gentlemen have done. So thank you

88
00:07:07,340 --> 00:07:07,580
for that.

89
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:11,400
I appreciate that.

90
00:07:13,570 --> 00:07:14,570
Gentlemen and ladies.

91
00:07:15,970 --> 00:07:17,850
Okay, any other comments?

92
00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:21,030
City Manager, do you have any comments?

93
00:07:24,140 --> 00:07:24,800
That would be no.

94
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,580
Excellent. All right.

95
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:37,240
So the first item here on item number two is to bring forward the resolution in regards to District 1.

96
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,020
So we need nominations.

97
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:48,500
the chair I'd like to nominate Dave Shaw to continue as city council person for

98
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:49,540
district one.

99
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:59,970
I can't. Right. I have a nomination from council member Kirchner

100
00:07:59,970 --> 00:08:04,450
a second by council member Cole will have roll call vote on district one.

101
00:08:04,570 --> 00:08:07,810
Before you start roll call does he have to leave the room I would refer to

102
00:08:07,810 --> 00:08:10,510
our attorney because you have to leave the room for this vote.

103
00:08:50,410 --> 00:08:51,110
So to make sure

104
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:55,130
we doing this correctly then is an abstention okay or does he actually need to use the

105
00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:56,570
word recusal? Thank

106
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,560
you very much. All right.

107
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,100
Roll

00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,080

Thank you. All right we'll do procedurally. Can I bring my own

115
00:09:30,170 --> 00:09:34,410
district in or do I need to pass that off to the vice mayor? I'm the next district

116
00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:35,310
district too.

117
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,920
Thank you mayor. Do I have a motion to take action on the

118
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:54,520

119
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,660

Aye.

129
00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:19,140

160
