Shall the electors elect a mayor and four city councilmembers?
Current Powers and Duties of the Mayor According to the Ojai Municipal Code, the Mayor has the power to appoint members of boards and commissions, with the approval of the City Council. By practice approved by the City Council, the Mayor nominates persons together with members of an ad hoc committee and the City Council confirms the appointments. Under the Ojai Municipal Code, the Mayor receives the same compensation as the rest of the City Council.
Measures A, B and C Those questions are as follows:
Measure A -- "Shall the electors elect a mayor and four city councilmembers?"
If Measure A is passed, the newly created office of elected Mayor will replace one of the existing Council seats beginning at the next general election in November of 2016. Measures B or C will determine whether the term of office of the elected Mayor will be two years or four years. The measure with the higher number of "yes" votes will prevail.
Qualifications, Powers and Duties of an Elected Mayor The elected Mayor would continue to draw the same salary established for Council members, unless a different amount is approved by the electorate or City Council at a later time. Under state law, the elected Mayor would have the right to make appointments to boards and commissions, subject to the approval of the Council, although the elected Mayor would also have the option of continuing the current ad hoc committee nomination process. The measure was placed on the ballot by a vote of the City Council.
