CALLING, GIVING NOTICE AND REQUESTING CONSOLIDATION AND CERTAIN OTHER RESOLUTIONS NECESSARY FOR THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION, NOVEMBER 2, 1999
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolutions pertaining to the November 2, 1999 General Municipal Election:
1. RESOLUTION NO. 99-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, CALLING AND GIVING NOTICE OF THE HOLDING OF A GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1999, FOR THE ELECTION OF CERTAIN OFFICERS AS REQUIRED BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA RELATING TO GENERAL LAW CITIES
2. RESOLUTION NO. 99-

3. RESOLUTION NO. 99-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, FIXING THE COMPENSATION TO BE RECEIVED BY THE CITY CLERK FOR THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION OF NOVEMBER 2, 1999
Per the Municipal Code, the Clerk's compensation must be fixed by resolution. It has been traditional for the City Clerk to receive extra compensation during all election periods due to the tremendous impact an election has on the normal workload of the Clerk's office. As you know, the additional duties have already begun, and the amount of time necessary to perform those duties is at least 50 percent above what is normally required of the part-time City Clerk. The traditional extra monthly compensation for consolidated elections has been half of the Clerk's monthly salary.
4. RESOLUTION NO. 99-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, PROVIDING FOR THE CONDUCT OF A SPECIAL RUNOFF ELECTION FOR ELECTIVE OFFICES IN THE EVENT OF A TIE VOTE AT A GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 2, 1999
Optional, but if adopted, must be adopted before Election Day. If not adopted, in the event two or more persons receive an equal number of votes and are tied for an elective office, Council shall determine the tie by lot, pursuant to State law.
Background:
The City will be conducting a General Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 2, 1999, for the following offices: City Treasurer, City Clerk and two members of the City Council. The required resolutions are presented this evening for Council adoption prior to July 12, which is the opening date of the nominating period. A preliminary election calendar, which identifies that and other important deadline dates, is attached.
Other election-related agenda items presented separately this evening for Council consideration are: 1) a resolution adopting regulations for candidates' statements; 2) certification of the signature verification results for the UUT initiative petition; and 3) a request for Council to specify and agendize for discussion at the July 13 meeting any possible measures that Council may wish to place on the November ballot. Appropriate resolutions to place the UUT measure and any City-initiated measures on the November ballot will be presented for Council adoption at the July 27 meeting, which is the last regular meeting before the County's August 6 deadline for placing measures on the ballot.
