Despite the City Council's direction to place the proposed Charter on the March 8,2011 ballot,that action is not official until the attached resolutions are adopted.Mayor Wolowicz would like the City Council to discuss whether the proposed City Charter should be placed on the March 8,2011 ballot,or the November 2011 ballot,which is the date of the City's next General Municipal Election to fill three City Council seats. The Council Subcommittee,along with Staff,discussed this issue by telephone with the League of California Cities'election expert,who recommended in favor of having the the proposed charter on the March 2011 election ballot. The City of Los Angeles needs to know whether the Rancho Palos Verdes election on the proposed charter will be consolidated with the City of Los Angeles'election no later than October 20,2010,which will allow the City of Los Angeles ample time to prepare resolutions for its Council's consideration.Therefore,the Council could continue the item setting the election (and the item on the Charter itself)one more meeting,if necessary,until the October 19,2010 Council meeting. DISCUSSION The draft Resolutions presented for Council's consideration this evening set the date and time for the Special Municipal Election on the Charter City Measure to be placed on the March 8,2011 ballot;request consolidation of the City's Special Election with the Primary Nominating Election of the City of Los Angeles and request that the City of Los Angeles conduct the election and provide election services to the City;establish priorities for filing a written argument in support of the City measure to change from a 11-2 March 8,2011 Special Municipal Election October 5,2010 Page 3 of4 General Law City to a Charter City and direct the City Attorney to Prepare an Impartial Analysis,and provide for the filing of rebuttal arguments for City measures submitted at municipal elections. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Pursuant to Elections Code Section 9286(a),the City Elections Official shall fix a date 14 days from the Calling of the Election as a deadline for the filing of arguments for or against any City measure.However,pursuant to Section 9286(b),that deadline may be different when an election is consolidated with another election.The City Clerk will select appropriate dates in order to comply with the election schedule established by the City of Los Angeles and to avoid conflicts with the holidays.Pursuant to Elections Code Section 9285,if the City Council adopts a resolution allowing for the filing of rebuttal arguments,rebuttal arguments relating to a City measure shall be filed with the Elections Official no later than 10 days after the final filing date for primary arguments. In the resolutions regarding the primary argument,the City Council may choose to designate some or all of the Members of the City Council Members to file arguments supporting the initiative. FISCAL IMPACT The City Clerk's Office received an estimated cost of $70,000-90,000 from the City of Los Angeles'Election Division for conducting the Special Municipal Election in consolidation with the City of Los Angeles Primary Nominating Election on the March 8, 2011 Ballot;therefore a Resolution Amending the Budget Appropriation for Fiscal Year 2010-2011 has been prepared for the Council's adoption this evening.
