typically are not held. The City Council placed this measure on the ballot to match Council member and Mayoral elections to Statewide and National elections in even-numbered years.
This measure also would add one year to the terms of the incumbent Councilmembers and Mayor, to allow for the transition of elections to even-numbered years. If this
measure passes, an alternative measure the City Council placed on the ballot to add the extra year instead to the incoming elected Councilmembers and Mayor will be moot,
as this measure will control.
