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 Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement
