2015 Charter Review Commission — Final Report (Change 1)
November 12, 2015
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers:
During a recent review of the May 15, 2015 Charter Review Commission Final
Report, it was noted that there was an administrative scrivener's error on pages 50 and 51
of the report.
The error was with the narrative in the final report that explained the transition
process, should the propositions for increasing the size of the City Council from five (5)
council members to seven (7) councilmembers AND increasing the councilmembers term
length from two (2) years to three (3) years be approved during the November 2015
election.
The narrative on pages 50 and 51, under the heading Three Year Staggered Term
Transition with 7 Council Members, was a repeat of the section above it, Three Year
Staggered Term Transition with 5 Council Members.
It should be noted, that the transition tables on pages 56 and 57, outlining a Three
Year Staggered Term Transition with 7 Council Members, are correct, and reflect the
correct transition plan recommended by the commission and subsequently approved by the
council.
The correct, amended narrative for the transition plan on pages 50 and 51 should
read as follows;
Three Year Staggered Term Transition with 7 Council Members
This plan should be utilized in the event the voters approve BOTH propositions, increasing
the size of the council AND extending term lengths.
Implementation of this plan will begin in 2016. This is the normal election cycle for the
Mayor, Place 1 and Place 2. During the 2016 general election, the terms for the Mayor,
Place 1 and Place 2 would change to three (3) year terms.
In 2016, we will also add Councilmember Place 6 and Place 7; and each will initially be
elected for a two (2) year term.
In 2017, Places 3, 4 and 5 will be elected to three (3) year terms.
In 2018, Places 6 and 7 will be elected to three (3) year terms.
In 2019, The Mayor, Place 1 and 2 will be elected to three (3) year terms.

2015 Charter Review Commission — Final Report (Change 1)
May 15, 2015
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers:
The members of the 2015 Schertz Charter Review Commission held a series of meetings
to review the Schertz City Charter and consider whether any amendments or revisions were
necessary. During our initial meeting, the Commission decided to conduct a review of the
entire City Charter, with the following goals:
a) Attempt to streamline the Charter if possible by identifying items that could be
eliminated due to being redundant, i.e., repeated or addressed in more than one section
of the Charter or repetitive of existing State Law.
b) Identify sections of the Charter that might need revision to improve the operational
procedures of the City or clarify exiting guidance.
c) Identify any deficiencies in the Charter that would warrant the addition of new policies
or procedures for the effective administration of the City.
We have concluded our work and present our final report to you as directed by the City
Charter, Section 12.05(d). This report identifies the propositions and accompanying Charter
sections that the Commission has identified for submission to the City voters for consideration
on the November 2015 ballot.
This report begins with a summary of our recommendations. The summary is followed by
the each individual proposals and actual text of the applicable amendments (deletions, revisions
and additions). Within the text of each amendment, blue underlined text; indicates language
proposed to be added and indicates language proposed for deletion. Each
of the proposed text changes is followed by a brief statement of the CRC's rationale for
proposing the Charter change. Finally, we've included the Commission's Council transition
plans should the voters approve or disapprove Proposals 2 and 3.
We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and the citizens of our community through
the Charter review process.

at a subsequent meeting of the City Council. If rejected, no further action shall be required.
The City Council must take second and final consideration of any ordinance not later than
sixty days after the first reading of such ordinance. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, if the City Council, by a vote of not less than two- thirds of the members present

publishing the same or any part thereof in a newspaper. All printed ordinances or
codes of ordinances shall be admitted as evidence in all courts without further proof
and shall have the same force and effect as did the original ordinance. (Election of

Proposition 1 Rationale: The Charter Review Commission believes this information
recommended for deletion is unnecessary in the Charter, as all of these items are covered under
other sections of the City Charter or under Texas State law, specifically:
Within Section 2.01, General Powers, The first sentence states" The City shall have all the
powers granted to cities by the Constitution and general laws of the State together with all of the
implied powers necessary to execute such granted powers." The reminder of this section simply
itemizes many of the powers afforded to the City by State Law and states that the City may
exercise those powers. The Commission feels that other than the existing first sentence, the
remaining verbiage is superfluous and unnecessary.
Final Report to City Council
201.E Schertz Charter Review Commission 10
As with Sec 2.01, Section 2.02 Intergovernmental Relations, is unnecessary, as it restates a power
and authority that the City may exercise that is functionally addressed by the first sentence of
Section 2.01.
The last sentence of Section 3.01 is unnecessary, as the City must exercise its authority pursuant
to State Law, the Charter and enacted ordnances and is addressed by the previous sentence is this
section.
The deleted passage of Section 4.09(e) is not required as the this information is covered in Section
4.05 Mayor & Mayor Pro Term and Section 4.09(c) Quorum
Section 6.07, Tax Assessor - Collector is not needed, as it is an authority and power afforded to the
city under state law, and thereby covered under the first sentence of Section 2.01.
Section 7.05, Capital Improvement Program states that "The City Manager may prepare a five
year capital improvements program on his or her own initiative and shall do so when so
directed by the City Council." The Commission felt this language was ambiguous, as it did not
specifically require a CIP, and if a CIP was required by the City Council, the requirement could
be directed in the City Financial Planning documents, versus the City Charter. In addition the
authority to create a capital improvements plan is afforded the City in state law.
Section 8.02 Board of Adjustment. The Commission again felt that this section was not required
as it definitively did not require the establishment of a BOA. The authority for the City to create a
BOA is already afforded to the City under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 211.
Article XI, Public Utilities. The Commission felt this section, in its entirety was not needed as
the City's authority is sufficiently addressed in Section 2.01 of the Charter and state law.

(c) Quor . t-hr Four Councilmembers (excluding the Mayor) shall constitute a quorum, and
no action shall be valid unless adopted by the affirmative vote of three -four or more members
of the City Council. If the Mayor Pro -Tem is presiding, he or she shall be counted for purposes
of determining a quorum.
Proposition 2 Rationale: The Charter Review Commission believes that the City has grown
sufficiently to warrant the addition of two additional City Council places. In discussing this
section, the Commission looked at the council structure of 23 cities larger than Schertz, with
regards to their council size and whether the Mayor routinely voted on council actions or not. It
was noted that Schertz had the lowest council size (5 places, not including the mayor) than 91 %
(21 of 23) of the cities surveyed. Of the cities surveyed, eighteen had had 6 places, two had 7
places and one had 8 places. In further discussion, it was noted that in 73% of the surveyed
cities (17 out of 23), the Mayor's position was an active participant, voting on all measures. The
Commission considered several options and ultimately recommended to keep the Mayor's
position as a position that votes only in the event of a tie, but increase the number of council
places to seven (7) in order to provide a broader elected base and increased quorum. The change
to Section 4.09(c), Quorum would be required if the council is increased with an additional two
places.

Additionally, the Charter Review Commission has reviewed various options for transitioning to
additional council seats if approved by the voters. The Commission's recommendations for
transition options are included at the end of this report.

Council shall call a special election to fill such vacancy. If there are less than 365 days
remaining in the term of the vacated City Council position, the City Council may, by
majority vote of the remaining Councilmembers, at its discretion appoint a new Mayor
or Councilmember to fill such vacancy or call a special election to fill such vacancy.

Proposition 3 rationale: Again, the Commission looked at the term lengths of 23 cities larger
than Schertz. Fifteen of twenty -three (65 %), had term lengths of 3 years versus 2 years. The
Commission felt that increasing to three year terms would allow for more stability for elected
officials; allowing them to focus more on their council requirements and not on campaigning in
their second year. Additionally, transitioning to three -year terms would allow the city to stagger
the elected offices to potentially reduce the frequency of turnover. Presently, 50% of the council
places are up for election every year, transitioning to three -year terms would result in only 33%
of the positions being voted on each year. The Commission noted that an increase to three year
terms would raise the possibility of requiring run -off elections (change to Sec 9.03) and negate
the requirement for Sec 4.06(a)(2), as the Special Election requirement would be mandated by
State Law.

Proposition 4 Rationale: The Charter Review Commission reviewed multiple areas regarding
"Prohibitions, Forfeitures of Office and Hearing Process" and developed the various elements of
Proposition 4. First, the Commission recommended clarifying the language of Sec 4.06
concerning the circumstances upon which an elected official's seat may be declared vacant or
forfeited by the incumbent. Second, the Commission recommended replacing the vague
wording of Sec 4.07 regarding conflicts of interest with a reference to the guidelines provided
under Texas Local Govermnent Code Chapter 171 and adding a sub paragraph to address
Attorney Client Privilege communications. Third, the Commission recommends the addition of
a specific process for the City Council to follow concerning conducting hearings for "Forfeiture
of Offices and Prohibitions ". With regards to Sec 12.02 Prohibitions, the Commission
recommended deleting the section in its entirety, as virtually all of the material contained therein
is covered under Texas State Law, or would be better suited in the City's Employee Policies,
versus the City Charter.

Finally, the Commission recommended adding a new section, Section 12.10 Penalty Clause,
which would spell out penalties for both criminal and /or civil penalties for violation of the city

Proposition 5 Rationale: The Charter Review Commission recommends deletion of most
sections of Article VII, Financial Procedures as the information is either directed by State Law or
better suited to be addressed in the City's Financial Plan versus in the City Charter. The
Commission also recommends decreasing the budget submission timeline to 50 days prior to the
fiscal year instead of 60 days, in order to provide the Finance Department additional time to
prepare and finalize all documentation.

Law, at which time officers will be elected to fill those offices which become vacant that

2. An application filed in accordance herewith shall entitles such ani2licant
a place on the official ballot.
(b) A candidate of the Cite Council shall specify the glace number- or
position the candidate is seeking.
(c) A filing fee of five dollars, or such other amount as may hereafter be set by the
City Council, must be paid to the City Secretary by each candidate upon presentation of his
or her application. The filing fee shall be waived if the candidate states in writing that payment
thereof will constitute a financial hardship.
Proposition 6 Rationale: The Commission believes that the Qualification section requires
revision in several areas. First, the Commission felt that a clarification was required with
regards to the timing of the age cut -off, favoring a change that would establish the first day of
the elected term as the age to be eighteen, versus an earlier cut -off at the filing deadline.

Second, the Commission felt that that voter status warranted clarification, specifically clarifying
that the candidate must be a registered voter "of the City of Schertz" and residency for elected
office be increased from 6 months to 12 months preceding the filing deadline. Additionally, the
Commission developed clarifying language for Section 9.01, replacing unneeded language that
is addressed under State Law and providing guidance for fixing the place of elections and

(d) Filing recall petition. Recall petitions shall be initiated and filed with the City Secretary
within sixty days after the petitioners' committee files its affidavit.
(e) Filing referendum petitions. Referendum petitions must be filed within sixty days after
adoption by the City Council of the ordinance sought to be reconsidered.
Proposition 7 Rationale: The Commission discussed the process for citizen petition process for
initiatives, referendums and recalls and expressed concerns in the inconsistency of the current
process. Specifically, the current charter requires petitions signed by qualified voters equal to at
least 50% of the voters who voted in the last Mayoral election. The Commission's concerns
centered on the inconsistency of voter turnout from one election to the next and the impact it has on
the petition process since voter turnout is typically higher during a Presidential election, as
compared to a non - Presidential election year.
For example, the 2014 general election (non - Presidential election), approximately 7100 voted in the
Mayoral election, which subsequently would have required approximately 3550 signatures on a
petition for an initiative, referendum or recall. In the prior Mayoral election, (2012 Presidential),
approximately 11,100 votes in the Mayoral election were counted, which subsequently would have
required approximately 5550 signatures on a petition for an initiative, referendum or recall, a
difference in the petition process of approximately 2,00 signatures.
Final Report to City Council
2015 Schertz Charter Review Commission 32
The Commission felt that changing the requirement to one based a percentage of total registered
voters, regardless of actual voter turnout would provide a more consistent approach to the petition
process.
The Commission recommended that requiring 15% of registered voters to sign a petition for an
initiative or referendum and 20% for a recall of elected officials is a more reasonable approach, with
a higher threshold required for a recall due to the serious nature of that particular action.
Applying these criteria based on the number of registered voters during the 2012 and 2014
elections, and the current (2015) registrations would have resulted in the following thresholds
required for petition signatures. (NOTE: These numbers are from Guadalupe County only and are
for illustrative purposes. Actual thresholds would be based on the registered Schertz voters from
Guadalupe, Bexar and Coma] Counties.)

consent of the owners or inhabitants thereof, thereby extending and enlarging the bounds
and limits of the City. Such annexations shall be limited and controlled by the applicable
annexation laws of the State.
(c) Disannexation. Any area hereafter annexed under this Charter and the law of this
State maybe disannexed as follows:
Prior r any property of the City a public hearing shall held

Proposition 8 Rationale: Texas Local Government Code Section 43.142 provides that a home -rule
municipality may disannex an area according to rules as may be provided by the charter of the
municipality. Upon review of City Charter the Commission discovered that the current charter does
not provide rules for disannexation developed the proposed these specific procedures and timelines
for the process.

Provide for Clarification on Signing Official City Documents
® ®® Sec 4.05 Clarifying when Mayor signs documents
Section 4.05 Mayor and Mayor Pro -Tenn.
The Mayor shall be the official head of the City government. He or she shall be the
chairman and shall preside at all meetings of the City Council. The Mayor may vote only in the
event of a tie. He or she shall, w-hen—ffti-t4h+mi d— unless another signatory is otherwise
designated by the City Council, sign all official documents such as ordinances, resolutions,
conveyances, grant agreements, official plats, contracts, and bonds. He or she shall appoint
special committees as instructed by City Council, with committee membership to be composed
of nominees by the City Council. He or she shall perform such other duties consistent with
this Charter or as may be imposed upon him or her by City Council. The Mayor shall not
have veto powers.
The Mayor Pro -Tem shall be a Councilmember appointed by the City Council for a term and
pursuant to procedures established by the City Council from time to time. The Mayor Pro -
Tem shall act as Mayor during the absence or disability of the Mayor and in this capacity
shall have the rights conferred upon the Mayor. While acting as Mayor, the Mayor Pro -Tem
may vote on any matter before the City Council.
Proposition 9 Rationale: The Commission reviewed Section 4.05 and noted the vagueness of the
requirement for signing official documents (ordinances, resolutions, etc...). This section stated the
Mayor would sign "when authorized" by the City Council, but did not address situations if the
Mayor "was not authorized", nor does it address if the Mayor or another officer of the City is
better suited to sign various documents. The Commission believes that a more appropriate
wording would be to designate the Mayor in the Charter as the official signatory, unless
otherwise designated by the City Council. The revised wording would also afford the City
Council to officially designate others, such as the City Manager or others to sign applicable
documents as appropriate. This revision would also support the current wording of Section
5.03(k) under the City Manager's Powers & Duties " He or she shall have the authority to sign
documents in the name of the City as authorized by the City Council."

and character. He or she need not be a resident of the City or State at the time of his or her
appointment, but he or she must agree, prior to such appointment, to become a resident of the
City within four months after the date of his or her appointment. If he or she thereafter fails to
become a resident of the City within that four -month period, he or she shall be deemed to
have forfeited his or her appointment and the office shall be declared vacant by announcement
of the Mayor at the first meeting of the City Council following the expiration of the four -

she shall be employed for or relieved from his or her duties by a vote of a majority of the

s-u -eh wiint es
Proposition 10 Rationale: The Commission discussed Section 5.01 with regards to the last
sentence, on the process of the City Council appointing one or more Assistant City Managers and
setting compensation for such appointees. The Commission believes that the process for "hiring"
Assistant City Managers would be better suited as part of the normal hiring process afforded to the
City Manager in Section 5.03(a), as any Assistant City Manager would operationally report to the
report to the City Manager on a day -to -day basis. The normal hiring process might prove more
effective versus an "appointment process" via the City Council. The Commission noted that the
City Council would retain "effective" control over Assistant City Manager positions and their
salaries, as any such position would require approval (position and grade) as part of the city budget
process.

The City Manager shall be the chief administrative officer of the City. He or she shall be

(a) He or she shall appoint and, when he or she deems it necessary for the good of the

provided for, by or under this Charter, except as otherwise provided by law, this
Charter, or personnel rules adopted pursuant to this Charter. He or she may authorize
any administrative officer who is subject to his or her direction and supervision to
exercise these powers with respect to subordinates in that officer's department,
office or agency.
(b) He or she shall direct and supervise the administration of all departments, offices
and agencies of the City, except as otherwise provided by this Charter or by law.
(c) ale -The City Manager or their designee shall attend all City Council meetings
and shall have the right to take part in discussion but may not vote.
(d) He or she shall see that all laws, provisions of this Charter and acts of the City
Council, subject to enforcement by him or her or by officers subject to his or her
direction and supervision, are faithfully executed.
(e) He or she shall prepare and submit the annual budget and capital program to the
City Council.
(f) He or she shall submit to the City Council and make available to the public a
complete report on the finances and administrative activities of the City as of the end
of each fiscal year.
(g) He or she shall make such other reports as the City Council may require concerning
the operations of City departments, offices and agencies subject to his or her

equipment belonging to the City, said inventory to be subject to annual audit. A
system shall be established to control the use and replacement of expendable items.
(k) He or she shall have the authority to sign documents in the name of the City as
authorized by the City Council.
Proposition 11 rationale: The Commission discussed Section 5.03 and recommended a
modification of the language in subparagraph (c) that required the City Manager to attend all
City Council meetings. The consensus of the Commission was that this was an unrealistic
expectation for the City Manager attendance at all meetings and recommended a revision to
change the requirement to require attendance at all council meetings by "The City Manager or
their designee ".

Clarify Process for Personnel Policies
® ®® Sec 6.02 Operational and Personnel Policies
Proposition 12 Rationale: The Commission discussed Section 6.02 regarding Personnel Rules
and expressed concerns that the current Charter section was an ineffective business process.
The existing process requires the City Manager to prepare such rules and present them to the
City Council, who then has the ability to adopt them, modify and adopt them or reject them
back to the City Manager for additional revisions and subsequent review. In many cases,
employee policies are set by Federal or State law and not subject to discussion. The
Commission felt that the City Manager, as the Administrative Manager of the City should be
charged with developing operational and personnel policies and should be able to adjust said
policies as needed for the effective day -to -day operation of the city. The Commission believes
that the City Council should be provided a copy of the City's operational and personnel policies
and kept current of any proposed changes and should retain oversight on any policy or policies
that would affect the City budget, employee discipline, or adverse action involving a city
employee.

Council.
(h) Coon approval by City Council of the position(s), the Ciiy Secretan may

Proposition 13 Rationale: The Commission discussed Section 6.06 with regards to the process
of the City Council appointing the City Secretary and his /her deputy or deputies. As with the
Assistant City Manager position(s) the Commission believes that the process for "hiring" a
Deputy or Deputies in the City Secretaries office would be better suited as part of the normal
hiring process, as any Deputies would operationally report to the City Secretary on a day -to -day
basis. The Commission noted that the City Council would retain "effective" control over any
such positions and their grades as part of the city budget process. The Commission also felt
that the current process for appointment of the City Secretary by the City Council is adequate
and did not warrant a change.

Proposition 15 Nationale: The Commission reviewed Article X and determined that there was
nothing preventing a sitting City Council from rescinding or changing an ordinance adopted by
the City Council in response to an initiative. Nor was there a process for amending or repealing
an ordinance adopted by a popular vote of the residents.
The Commission drafted a proposal to add Section 10.09 which would afford protection to the
citizens, stating that an ordinance passed by popular vote cannot be amended or repealed for a
period of three years from its effective date, and only then with a 2 /3 rd majority of the Council
approving the change. In addition, this amendment would provide a mechanism for amending or
repealing an ordinance adopted by popular vote based on changing circumstances.

The City Council shall periodically appoint a Charter Review Commission which shall
consist of no less than 5 and no more than 11 of- fi= - citizens of the City. It shall be the duty
of the Commission to:
(a) Inquire into the operation of the City government under the Charter provisions and
determine whether any such provisions require revision and to this end, public hearings
may be held and the Commission shall have the power to compel the attendance of any
officer or employee of the City to require the submission of any of the City records
which it may consider necessary to the conduct of such hearing.
(b) Make any recommendations it considers desirable to insure compliance with the
provisions of this Charter by the several departments of the City.
(c) Propose amendments to this Charter to improve its effective application to current
conditions.
(d) Report its findings and present its proposed amendments, if any, to the City
Council. The City Council shall receive any report submitted by the Charter Review
Commission, may comment on any proposed amendment recommendations made, and,
if any amendment or amendments are presented as a part of such report, shall order
such to be submitted to the voters of the City in the manner provided in Section 12.04.
The term of office of the Charter Review Commission shall be 180 days after the date of
appointment of the Commission, and, if during this term no report is presented to the City
Council, then all records of the proceedings of the Commission shall be filed with the City
Manager and the Charter Review Commission shall be dismissed.
Proposition 17 Rationale: The Commission reviewed Section 12.05, Charter Review
Commission and expressed concerns on the size of the Commission being limited to five (5)
members. Having more input into the revisions process might be more beneficial to the city to
garner additional expertise and expanded dialogue. Additionally, the current process of 5
Charter Commission members, stems from a "tradition" of each of the five current Council
members appointing a member to the Charter Commission. This tradition would be challenged,
if the voters approve an increase to the size of the City Council. The Commission members
discussed the size of the Commission and recommended a proposal that would give flexibility
to the City Council by changing this section to reflect appointing a minimum of five (5) and no
more than eleven (11) members to a Charter Review Commission if approved by the voters.

Proposition 18 Rationale: The Commission also expressed concern in Section 12.05, Charter
Review Commission over the timing of the Commission process. The Charter Commission is
provided 180 days to conduct their business and report back to the City Council. Historically,
it appears that the City Council decides to seat a Charter Commission after new members take
office, however; city elections were recently moved from May to November, which means
initial appointments are not made until late in the year and are ultimately affected by the
holiday seasons.
Final Report to City Council
2015 .Schertz Charter Review Commission 4
This concern was clearly evident this year. The current Commission process was started by
the City Council with initial appointments on 18 Nov 2014. Allowing for 180 days, this gave
the Commission a deadline of 17 May 2015. Compounding our timeline, was the need to get a
replacement Commission member (not accomplished until 16 Dec 14), the impact of several
holidays in November, December and January, and the Commission's decision to conduct a
thorough review of the entire Charter. As a result, our timeline for meetings and the potential
for additional public input was severely constrained.
The Commission recommends that the timeline of future Charter Commissions be kept on a 180
day maximum timeline, however, the start date needs to be adjusted to account for the
appointment process and holiday schedule. Specifically, the recommendation is to amend the
Charter to allow the Commission 180 days from the start of their first meeting versus the first
appointment. To ensure that future Charter Commissions remain on track, the proposal also
recommends that the first meeting must be scheduled within 45 days of the Council's
appointments.

Proposition 19 Rationale: The Commission's final recommendation was based on the lack
of any guidance of how to proceed with City Government in the event of a common disaster
affecting the legal quorum of the City Council and a process to reconstitute the City Council.
Section 12.09 proposed an addition to the Charter that would identify a process if approved
by the voters to reconstitute the City Council in this type of event.

Charter Review Commission
Mecommended Council Transition Plans
As mentioned earlier, the Charter Review Commission, is putting forth two (2)
propositions that can potentially affect the size of the City Council, as well as the term length
of elect officials. Since these propositions must be voted on separately by the voters, there are
four (4) potential outcomes from the November election, and the City must have a plan in place
to implement whichever options are chosen by the voters.
The four possible outcomes are as follows;
a. Voters do not approve either proposition - No Change, so the council will
remain at 5 places, each serving a two year term. Action Required: None
b. Voters approve an increase to the size of the council, but DO NOT approve
longer term lengths. Action Required: The city must have a plan to add two
additional council places to the election process, while maintaining 2 -year term
lengths.
c. Voters approve an increase to the term length of elected officials, but DO NOT
approve adding two additional places. Action Required: The city must have a
plan to adjust the term lengths of members elected in the future while
maintaining the size of the council as it is now.
I Voters approve both propositions; increasing the size of the council and
increasing the term length to three years. Action Required: The city must have
a plan to add two additional council places to the election process, while
increasing the terms to three years.
The Charter Commission discussed all four scenarios at length. In each discussion, the
preference of the Commission was to recommend a plan for each scenario that provided for
the following;
(a) Provide for an orderly transition
(b) Be able to implement is as timely of a manner as practical
(c) Be as fair as possible to current elected officials
(d) Prefer not to have "off years" with no office up for election

As a result of our discussion, the Commission developed the following transition plans and
recommend their use, depending on the outcomes of the November 2015 election.
• �� � .
This plan should be utilized in the event the voters increase the size of the council but DO
NOT increase the term length to three years.
Implementation of this plan will begin in 2016. This is the normal election cycle for the
Mayor and Places 1 and 2. These positions would remain on the 2016 ballot and face election
for a two year term. A new City Council seat, Place 6, would be added to the ballot for a two -
year term. Terms for existing places and the new Place 6 would end in 2018.
In 2017, Council place 3, 4, and 5 would be on the ballot as usual. The City would add a new
Council Place 7 to the ballot for a two -year term. Terms for existing places and the new Place
7 would end in 2019.
Three Year Staggered Term Transition with 5 Council Members
This plan should be utilized in the event the voters DO NOT increase the size of the council
but DO increase the term length to three years.
Implementation of this plan will begin in 2016. This is the normal election cycle for the
Mayor and Places 1 and 2. In this plan, the Mayor would change to a three (3) year term in
2016 and be up for election again in 2019. Places 1 & 2 would remain at two (2) year terms
in 2016 and face election again in 2018.
In 2017, Place 3 would remain at a two (2) year term and face election again in 2019. Places
4 & 5 would change to three (3) year terms and face election again in 2020.
In 2018, Places 1 & 2 would be on the ballot for three (3) year terms.
In 2019, The Mayor and Place 3 would appear on the ballot for three (3) year terms.
In 2020, Places 4 & 5 would appear on the ballot for three (3) year terms.
This plan should be utilized in the event the voters approve BOTH propositions, increasing
the size of the council AND extending term lengths.
Implementation of this plan will begin in 2016. This is the normal election cycle for the
Mayor and Places 1 and 2. In this plan, the Mayor would change to a three (3) year term in
2016 and be up for election again in 2019. Places 1 & 2 would remain at two (2) year terms
in 2016 and face election again in 2018.
