DISCUSSION
The Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District was scheduled to conduct an election
on November 5, 2013 to fill two expiring seats on the Board. At the close of the
nomination period, the only candidates that submitted nomination papers were the two
incumbents: Robert Douglas and Michael Barth. Because there were not more
candidates than offices to be filled, the Elections Code permits the cancellation of the
election and the appointment of the nominees to the Board. Pursuant to Section 10515
of the Elections Code, the City Council as the supervising authority, shall appoint up to
two members, each to a full four-year term of office, to the Abalone Cove Landslide
Abatement District Board.
