CITY.OF DUBLIN
AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY C01DlCIL HEftING DATE: November 28, 1994
SUBJBCII:
Amendment to Council Rules related to filling
Council vacancies
(Prepared by Elizabeth Silver, City Attorney)
EJUjIIIAi'FS ATTACHED: ~ Government Code section 36512
Rl!l:OIfMEJIlDATION:", . ~ Discuss and consider and provide appropriate
I{N' direction.
FlNAfiCIAL STATEMENT:
None
DESCRIPTION: Councilmember Moffatt has requested that the
Cmuncil consider an amendment to the Council's Rules of Conduct to
provide that when a vacancy exists on the Council, the remaining
councilmembers will only consider the appointment of a replacement at
ac meeting at which all four remaining councilmembers are present.
Government Code Section 36512, SUbdivision (b) provides that the
council shall, within 30 days of a vacancy, fill the vacancy by
appointment or call a special election. section 36512, subdivision
(c) provides a third option which requires the adoption of an
ordinance which could provide for a special election with an
appointment being made on an interim basis.
Government Code Section 36512 does not preclude a city council from
establishing its own internal rules regarding the method of filling
council vacancies as long as the rules are not inconsistent with
Section 36512.
If the Council adopted an amendment to its rules as proposed by em.
Moffatt, it would not restrict the Council's ability to call a special
election to fill the vacancy or to adopt an ordinance pursuant to
Section 36512, subdivision (0) at a meeting at which all
Councilmembers are not present.
A new Paragraph 18 would need to be added to page 8 of the Council's
current rules of conduct as follows:
"18. COUNCILMEMBER VACANCIES
When a vacancy occurs in the office of Councilmember and the
cmuncil. determines to consider filling the vacancy by appointment, the
CnmnciI.wil1 make such appointment only at a meeting at which all
r.:emainilIg' councilmembers (including the Mayor) are present. This rule
stmLU nmt preclude the Council from calling a special election to fill
t~ ~cmncw or from adopting an ordinance to fill the vacancy pursuant
tra Gm~mnnert: Code Section 36512 at a meeting at which one of the
retr\-B.d:ixnLmJ] Ctmncilmembers (including the Mayor) is absent. II
